West Ham vs. Wolves Prediction, Pick
For Wolves, relegation is looming. It’s only a matter of a few games before their escape becomes mathematically impossible. For West Ham, the situation is much different. Although they currently sit in the relegation zone, a win in this game would put them ahead of Tottenham and level on points with Nottingham Forest, although having played an extra game.
With only eight games to go, every result is crucial. Wolves and Burnley look to be all but gone, while the last relegation spot will likely be between West Ham, Tottenham, Nottingham Forest and Leeds. Only four points currently separate all four of those teams.
West Ham are in decent form for a relegation-threatened team. They’ve only lost two of their last 10 games in all competitions inside 90 minutes. They’ve been particularly impressive at home, picking up results against the likes of Man City and Man United.
On the other side, there’s Wolves. Considering their fate is all but sealed, they are still showing fight. In their last five games in all competitions, they’ve won two, lost two and drawn one. They have been much worse on the road this season, as they have only collected five points out of a possible 45 away from home in the Premier League. They’ve lost 10 of those 15 games, scoring seven goals while conceding 23 times. To summarize, it has been the worst away record in the league.
West Ham will be much more motivated to win this one, especially in front of their home fans. I expect the Hammers to collect a massive three points in their season.
