West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui faces the sack if he fails to make his team deliver in front of his old club, Wolverhampton. Both teams are under big pressure and will do their utmost to get a result when they meet at London Stadium on Monday, December 9.
It's now or never for this underachieving West Ham side, who are way below what was expected before the season started. My West Ham vs. Wolves predictions believe the immense pressure will impact the game and I will opt for goals with my free soccer picks.
EPL predictions for West Ham vs Wolves
My best bet:
Over 2.5 goals (-173 at TonyBet)
My analysis
Wolves have had a highly suspect defense since the start of the campaign. Their 36 goals conceded are the most among all Premier League clubs this season.
West Ham aren't safe at the back end either and have let 27 goals past them, placing them as the fourth-worst Premier League defense.
There's not much to defend now, as both teams need points and will go out to get them. Expect action and events in both boxes.
Wolves have conceded at least two goals in 14 of their last 17 EPL games. The Over 2.5 goals line has cashed in 10 of their last 11 EPL matches.
Moving to the head-to-head, there have been more than 2.5 goals in the last three clashes between West Ham and Wolves in all competitions. If you see this as an all-out-attack game, you could also consider the over 3.5 goals for an excellent +142 return at TonyBet.
West Ham vs Wolves same-game parlay (SGP)
Over 2.5 goals
Over 4.5 bookings
First corner - West Ham
West Ham had 68 corners in 14 matches, averaging almost five per game. They only sit 16th in the corners' rankings, while Wolves are last, with just over three per game (44 total). It's easy to see forcing corners hasn't been a priority for Wolves. Given the fact that West Ham are playing at home and will try to make their voice heard early in the game, I'll go for them for the first corner of the clash.
Given the context, there should be many events and contacts in this tough battle for Premier League survival. John Brooks, the ref in charge of this game, showed at least five bookings in six of his last seven games.
