Betting on Wolverhampton Wanderers
In their most recent EFL Cup match, Wolverhampton lost on penalty kicks to Nottingham Forest. Despite a 1-1 draw after 90 minutes thanks to an exquisite play that ended with Raúl Jiménez’s goal, the 4-3 scoreline from the penalty spot sealed Wolves’ future in the Carabao Cup.
On the other hand, the team managed by Julen Lopetegui occupies position #19 in the Premier League with 14 points from 3 wins, 5 draws and 10 defeats.
For this new Wolverhampton vs West Ham clash, the Wolves are expected to bounce back significantly, considering that they are in the relegation zone and with a difficult road ahead of this 2023.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Jose Sa, Nelson Semedo, Nathan Collins, Max Kilman, Hugo Bueno, Ruben Neves, Matheus Nunes, Boubacar Traore, Daniel Podence, Gonçalo Guedes, Raúl Jimenez.
Betting on West Ham United
West Ham are currently 17th in the Premier League standings. David Moyes’ side have won 4, drawn 3 and lost 11 games so far this season.
In the last five matchdays, the Hammers have managed to record only one draw, so they will surely come to the Wolverhampton vs West Ham match with the responsibility of winning to avoid the dreaded relegation zone. As the tournament is tight, a loss could mean a move into the bottom three of the standings, places from which it is very difficult to escape.
In their last match against Brentford in the FA Cup, West Ham won 1-0 amid a fantastic performance by Said Benrahma, who scored a stunning strike from outside the box into the left corner of the rival goalkeeper’s net.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Lukasz Fabianski; Vladimir Coufal, Craig Dawson, Angelo Ogbonna, Aaron Cresswell; Tomas Soucek, Manuel Lanzini, Pablo Fornals; Said Benrahma, Gianluca Scamacca, Jarrod Bowen.
JefeBet Prediction
In view of its latest results, we believe that it will be the away team who will take the victory in this Wolverhampton vs West Ham. West Ham has proven that they are a force to be reckoned with in crucial situations, and as a result of this and the extreme tiredness that Wolves are experiencing, it is likely that they will earn all three points. If it does, we don’t think the change will be very significant.
Prediction: West Ham win 1-0.
