Correct score prediction: Wolves 2-1 West Ham
Both Wolves and West Ham are struggling badly in the Premier League, and their recent results have been awful.
Rob Edwards's side are at the bottom of the Premier League table with just three points from 19 games, while West Ham also sit in the relegation zone with 14 points.
The Hammers have failed to keep a clean sheet in their four meetings against Wolves, while over 2.5 goals have been scored in four of their last five meetings.
Thus, goals are guaranteed in this game, and given the fixture's importance for both sides, it could end up a tense affair, with Wolves picking up a precious point.

Thus, we can see that there are no overwhelming favourites for this game, but the bookmakers placed Wolves as slight favourites, considering the home advantage.

Wolves have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 15 games, and West Ham have failed to do so in their last 16 games. Therefore, goals are guaranteed; hence, BTTS – Yes at 3/4 (1.75) with 57.1% chances of happening is really tempting.

Edwards will be without Santiago Bueno and Toti Gomes this weekend, but Matt Doherty, Yerson Mosquera and Ladislav Krejci should be able to start.

It is a massive relegation six-pointer for them, and the job gets harder as they will be without Lucas Paqueta and Jean-Clair Todibo for this game.
