A Wolves vs West Ham United game any other season would have been a very evenly matched content but the way the Hammers are playing this campaign, we expect only one outcome on Saturday.
Yes, Wolves have managed to find their feet in the past few weeks – climbing to the eighth spot on the Premier League table. But, at the same time, West Ham United have beaten teams like Liverpool and Spurs to grab onto the third spot.
The Hammers go into this game as the out and out favourites but the Molineux outfit have been churning out pretty stable results in the previous few weeks so we expect them to at least give a tough fit to the visitors.
Wolves have not kept a clean sheet in their previous five matches and the way West Ham United are playing, this unwanted record is likely to be extended this weekend.
