Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Saturday’s football game at Molineux Stadium pits together Wolverhampton and West Ham United, the two bottom-table sides. The Wolves did well to hold Liverpool to a 2-2 draw in the FA Cup round 3, and they must be high on spirits ahead of the visit of West Ham. The likes of Neto, Chiquinho, Traore, and Kalajdzic should miss out with injuries, while Korea striker Hwang Hee-Chan is pushing for a start.
Meanwhile, the Hammers did well to beat Brentford in the FA Cup at the weekend, and they are now on a quest to put an end to their six-game winless run in the English top flight. David Moyes’ troops are only one point clear of the relegation zone, but given their display in the FA Cup triumph, we believe that gamblers from all around the globe can find value in betting on the capital club. Maxwel Cornet and Kurt Zouma should be the only absentees in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Adama Traore):
After starting his youth career at Hospitalet, Adama Traore moved to Barcelona football academy La Masia in 2004. The pacey winger made a great progress during his spell with the Catalan giants and it has to be noted that he scored eight goals in 63 appearances for Barca B.
Adama Traore made his debut for the first team against Granada (4-0) on November 23, 2013, replacing Brazilian superstar Neymar in the 83rd minute of the match. In the summer of 2015, he signed for Aston Villa for a fee of £7 million, but he made no more than 11 appearances in the Premier League for the Vilans. At the end of the 2015/2016 season he moved to fellow English club Middlesbrough and he made his debut for the Boro in a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace on September 10, 2016.
Due to his dual citizenship, Adama Traore is eligible to represent Spain and Mali at senior level, but it has to be noted that he played for youth categories of La Roja.
Highlighted Team (West Ham):
West Ham United are an English football club based in East London. The club was founded in 1895 and it has to be noted that the club’s name was Thames Ironworks back then. The Hammers were playing their home games at Upton Park from 1904 until 2016, when they moved to the Stadium at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
West Ham have won three FA Cup trophies (1964, 1975 and 1980) and they were runners-up in 1923 and 2006. The capital club finished the 1985/1986 England first division campaign in third place in the standings and that is the club’s highest placing in the top flight. West Ham United have strong rivalries with fellow London clubs, but Tottenham Hotspur are considered the club’s main rivals.
A number of top-class players were part of West Ham in the past and the likes of Joe Cole, Carlos Tevez, Paolo Di Canio, Paul Ince, Julian Dicks, Shaka Hislop, Michael Carrick and Slaven Bilic are some of them.
