Wolverhampton – West Ham: a six-pointer at the bottom 
The Premier League serves up a tense showdown at Molineux on Saturday between Wolves and West Ham. Two struggling sides, locked in a relegation scrap, both under massive pressure.
Wolverhampton: a point that gives them a pulse 
Bottom of the table, the Wolves at least halted the bleeding in their last game. The draw they wrestled from Manchester United at Old Trafford ended a long losing run and showed a tougher side.
That result doesn’t change the numbers much. Wolverhampton still haven’t won a league game this season and sit miles off safety at the halfway point.
Still, it’s not all doom. The Wolves create chances, but poor finishing and, above all, a far too leaky defence cost them game after game. Forty goals conceded already — there’s no margin for error.
West Ham: need to kickstart the season 
West Ham aren’t much more reassuring. The Hammers are winless in a long run and finished the year with a gritty draw against Brighton — a lively game riddled with tension.
The London club sit perilously just above the drop zone. This trip to Wolves is seen as a chance they can’t afford to miss to get some breathing room in the table.
On the road West Ham sometimes show better intent, even if results are thin. A win would open a gap on a direct rival and stop a deeper slide.
Likely lineups
Wolverhampton :
Sa ; Mosquera, Doherty, Krejci ; Tchatchoua, Arias, Joao Gomes, Mane, Hugo Bueno ; Arokodare, Strand Larsen
West Ham :
Areola ; Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Kilman, Scarles ; Magassa, Potts ; Bowen, Fernandes, Paqueta ; Wilson
What to take away
- Wolves came away with an encouraging draw at Manchester United.
- The Wolves still haven’t won in the league this season.
- West Ham are stuck in a winless run.
- Both sides have glaring defensive issues.
Tip Wolverhampton vs West Ham
Both teams to score
In a pressure game both teams should be cautious, but their defensive frailties promise chances at both ends. A scoreline with goals each side looks believable.
First, a word on our tips
- What we publish on Mathodds is analysis, nothing more. We share a take on the moment, not a guarantee. Sport is unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the story changes completely.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when it looks “obvious”, it isn’t. Yes, you can lose. It’s inevitable at some point.
- Best to be sensible. Stake small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live. And don’t chase losses — it rarely ends well.
- Betting should be a game, not a job or income source. If it takes over, makes you anxious, or puts you under pressure, take a break. If needed, talk to a specialised organisation. That’s what they’re there for.
- Ultimately, responsibility lies with you. Reading our content means accepting the risk exists and won’t vanish, not even with the best analysis.
- Important reminder: betting is forbidden to minors and must comply with your country’s laws. Gambling can quickly spiral (money losses, family tensions, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our predictions aren’t a contract. They carry no legal weight. Plain and simple: you can’t rely on them to claim anything if a bet loses.
Info that can change
A tip is based on what we know when we write it. In the meantime a team sheet (like West Ham’s) can change, a player gets injured, the weather turns… and the analysis becomes outdated. We can’t be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before betting, just check that gambling is legal where you are. If it isn’t, that’s your responsibility, not ours.
