• Venue: London Stadium (London)

This match concludes the 15th round of the Premier League, with both managers under significant pressure as their futures could hinge on the outcome.

Currently in 14th place with 15 points, the Hammers have had a rough time recently. Despite a major away win against Newcastle, they were thrashed 5-2 by Arsenal in a London derby and then suffered a 3-1 loss to Leicester at King Power Stadium. The team, with high expectations on paper, is in desperate need of a victory to regain momentum and restore confidence within the squad.

t's been a season to forget for Wolves, who sit second-to-last in the standings with just 9 points. Their defense has been their Achilles' heel, conceding more goals than any other team in the league. After a brief positive run, their old struggles resurfaced with back-to-back defeats, conceding eight goals in the process. Manager Gary O'Neil is under mounting scrutiny, and speculation about his potential replacements has already begun.

Both teams are battling to stabilize their campaigns, making this a crucial fixture.

West Ham vs Wolves Prediction: WEST HAM TO WIN

Both teams enter this match with no room for error. West Ham enjoys a slightly better position in the standings but remains under pressure to secure points. Manager Julen Lopetegui finally has the luxury of a nearly fully fit squad, allowing him to field the best possible lineup.

In their recent outing against Leicester, West Ham showed promise in attack, dominating possession and creating opportunities, but they were ultimately undone by lapses in finishing and defense. If they can replicate their attacking intensity and improve defensively, a positive result seems within reach.

With both sides desperate for points, this encounter is expected to be fiercely contested.
