Bottom side Wolverhampton Wanderers will be seeking their first win in the Premier League this weekend. They welcome fellow strugglers West Ham on Saturday, hoping to build on a positive outing away to Manchester United. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Both are coming off draws in their latest outings. Those results left the hosts as the only team without a league win this season, and at the halfway point, they seem destined for relegation. With 19 matches played, Wolves are already 15 points off the safety mark.
Their visitors are also in the survival mix, which will make this an interesting battle. Sitting in 18th place, West Ham, however, are in a much stronger position in terms of clawing themselves out of the bottom three. They are just four points below safety. This marks the teams’ second meeting of the season and comes four months after a five-goal thriller in the EFL Cup.

Wolves - West Ham: Form Analysis
Wolves defeated West Ham in August as they battled in the second round of the League Cup. Then, under Vitor Perreira, the West Midlands club battled from 2-1 down, scoring twice in the last eight minutes to win 3-2. It seems like a century ago now, as since then, Wolves have won just one other game and have changed managers.
Rob Edwards is the man in charge and is seeking his first victory since being appointed, as well as his team’s first in the league. Wolves did, however, manage to halt a 12-game losing streak by drawing 1-1 away to Manchester United last time out. They will hope the result provides the basis for a tough task to avoid relegation.
Wolves halted a 12-game losing run with a draw last time out.
Wolves have a tougher job in the survival context. The Hammers are 11 points clear of Wolves and well within safety. Though wins have eluded them, with just three in 19 games, West Ham have accumulated 14 points and are four points from safety.
Just like his opposing counterpart, Nuno Espirito Santo has struggled to galvanize the club since he took over back in September. He has won just two of 14 games. West Ham drew 2-2 with Brighton at home in midweek, with the result extending their winless run to eight games.

Wolves & West Ham Squad Analysis
Matt Doherty and Rodrigo Gomes remain out through injury and will not be available for Wolves on Saturday. Emmanuel Agbadou and Tawanda Chirewa are also unavailable as they are away on international duty at the AFCON.
Such absences are the last thing that Wolves would have wanted in their current situation. Wolves have struggled with scoring, with none of the team’s players scoring more than three goals. Jorgen Strand Larsen and Tolu Arokodare have scored a combined six goals. They will be relied on heavily to provide an outlet for the hosts here.
Both sides have two players away at the ongoing AFCON.
Lukasz Fabianski remains out with a back injury, which means Alphonse Areola will continue between the sticks. Though Fabianski is the only player on the injury list, West Ham has other absentees going into this round.
Malik Diouf and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are away at the AFCON, and this has left the Londoners thin on the defensive end. Jarrod Bowen and Lucas Paqueta, scorers of five goals each, were on target last time out. Callum Wilson hasn’t scored in seven games, but with four goals this season, he is another player Wolves have to look out for.
