On April 1, 2025, the 30th round of the English Premier League will see Wolverhampton and West Ham clash at the Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton. We're betting on goals in this encounter.
Preview
West Ham and Wolverhampton face off, occupying the 16th and 17th positions in the league table. However, the point difference between them is quite significant, with the Londoners leading by 8 points. Despite their low standings, both clubs seem far from the relegation battle, as there are more evident candidates for the drop this season.
Wolverhampton has suffered only one defeat in the last four Premier League rounds, drawing once and securing two victories. However, both wins were achieved away. At home, the team struggles to collect points—only Leicester, Southampton, and Ipswich, who are likely to leave the elite division at the end of the season, fare worse in this aspect.
Graham Potter's team shows inconsistent results but has become noticeably more pragmatic compared to the period under Lopetegui. West Ham has only once lost by more than one goal, indicating increased organization and discipline.
However, the team has yet to improve offensively—under Potter's guidance, the Londoners haven't learned to score more goals. They've surpassed the one-goal mark in only two matches.
Possible lineups
- Wolverhampton: Sa, Aït-Nouri, Toti, Agbadu, Doherty, Semedo, Andre, Gomes, Bellegarde, Sarabia, Larsen
- West Ham: Areola, Kilman, Todibo, Mavropanos, Wan-Bissaka, Emerson, Ward-Prowse, Soucek, Paqueta, Bowen, Kudus
Match facts and H2H
- This game will be missed by Wolves' top scorer Matheus Cunha due to suspension.
- Wolverhampton has won only one of their last five home Premier League matches.
- The bet "both teams to score" has been successful in Wolverhampton's last four matches.
- West Ham, on the other hand, has only had such an outcome in one of their last five matches.
- Nevertheless, the team consistently finds the net away—Londoners have scored in nine consecutive away matches.
- In the first round, West Ham defeated Wolverhampton at home with a score of 2-1.
- Furthermore, the total over 2.5 goals has been hit in the last four head-to-head meetings.
Prediction
Wolverhampton needs to collect points to secure themselves from the relegation zone. West Ham, meanwhile, has entered a new phase with Graham Potter's arrival, and a change in management always brings additional motivation to the team. I expect a high-scoring match and suggest a bet on "Total over 2.0" with odds of 1.65.
