West Ham v Wolves prediction

What to expect

We expect about 1.7 goals from West Ham and 1.9 from Wolves, so Wolves come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 3.6 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Wolves come into this on three straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Both teams to score. Both of these carry enough of a threat to find the net (xG 1.7-1.9), and we make both teams to score about 69%. Expect goals at either end rather than a one-sided shut-out.

We put the chance of that landing at about 69 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.70, which works out at about 59 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.
