Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Wolverhampton and West Ham United square off against each other at Molineux Stadium in what is expected to be an exciting Premier League game. The Wolves have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Fulham, losing to Aston Villa, while sharing the spoils with Burnley. All Dawson, Bellegarde, Neto, and Hwang remain in the recovery room, while fit-again forward Matheus Cunha is pushing for his first start since February 4, 2024 when Wolves defeated Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
The capital club, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Tottenham in the London derby at the weekend. As West Ham have netted seven ten goals in total in the previous five league matches, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Edson Alvarez is back from suspension, while goalkeeper Alphonse Areola remain on the sidelines with injury. Defender Nayef Aguerd should recover in time to face Wolverhampton.
