Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Ham United have the chance to kickstart their seasons after faulty starts. The two Premier League sides clash in the second round of the League Cup on Tuesday, and below we have a prediction for the match.
Apart from seeking their first win of the season, hosts Wolves will also be looking to score their first goal. They were thrashed 4-0 at home by Manchester City to start off the season before falling 1-0 to Bournemouth.
With a winless run in five preseason matches, Wolves’ poor start was expected. They have now gone six matches without a win in competitive action and failed to score in four of them.
West Ham United have also had a bad start to the season but can bank on the fact that they scored last time out. Lucas Paqueta netted their first goal of the season, but after that the Hammers conceded five to fall 5-1 at home to Chelsea.
That loss came hot on the heels of an opening day 3-0 defeat to newly promoted Sunderland. The pressure is already on for Graham Potter, after his charges conceded eight times in two matches, leaving them at the bottom of the league standings.
Despite that, West Ham will feel positive about this match, having beaten Wolves in three of their last four meetings.

Our Wolves vs West Ham Prediction
The League Cup mostly gives coaches a chance to rest players, but with these two sides’ poor starts, all will be sent out for a win. In terms of player availability, West Ham will have the edge here, and given their recent record in this fixture, they hold the favorites’ feel.
Wolves’ leading scorer last season left for Manchester United, and their opening two matches have revealed their struggles in attack. That might be seen again on Tuesday, and our prediction for Wolverhampton Wanderers v West Ham United is that West Ham United wins the match.
