This match will be played on 06/04/2024 at 22:00
Wolverhampton and West Ham United square off against each other at Molineux Stadium in what is expected to be an exciting Premier League game. The Wolves have been having their ups and downs of late. With the team beating Fulham, losing to Aston Villa. While sharing the spoils with Burnley. All Dawson, Bellegarde, Neto, and Hwang remain in the recovery room. While fit-again forward Matheus Cunha is pushing for his first start since February 4, 2024 when Wolves defeated Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
The capital club, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Tottenham in the London derby at the weekend. As West Ham have netted seven ten goals in total in the previous five league matches. We believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Edson Alvarez is back from suspension. While goalkeeper Alphonse Areola remain on the sidelines with injury. Defender Nayef Aguerd should recover in time to face Wolverhampton.

Matheus Cunha featured off the bench for Wolves last time out and could be handed a start on Saturday. The forward has six goals in his last nine appearances and is priced at 15/8 to find the net on Saturday.
Jarrod Bowen is the leading scorer for West Ham with 15 goals and will be the one to watch on Saturday. The forward was on target in the reverse fixture and is priced at 9/4 JILI777 to get on the score sheet.
Wolves vs West Ham Prediction
Wolves’ back line has been suspect of late. Gary O’Neil’s men have not kept a clean sheet in any of the last five games in all competitions. They’ve shipped three goals in the previous home match. Falling to lower-division Coventry City in the FA Cup quarter-finals on the occasion.
Wolves did not look great in their most recent game against Burnley either. This will be the music to the ears of Jarrod Bowen, Mohammed Kudus, Michail Antonio, and company. West Ham have been quite efficient in the final third recently. They have the full squad available, including the like of Lucas Paqueta who is pivotal for their attacking prowess.
The same can’t be said for Wolves who are still without their key offensive weapons such as Pedro Neto. Hwang Hee-Chan, and Matheus Cunha. The away win has to be the way to go at the super-attractive 2.80 odds.
The value is even better in the anytime goalscorer market. You can back Jarrod Bowen to score anytime for the visitors at the sky-high 3.25 odds. Bowen tops West Ham’s scoring charts with 15 goals in 30 matches this season. He should have enough room to deliver in the final third past the out-of-form Wolves’ defence on Saturday.
