Relegation Battle: Wolves Host West Ham United in a Crucial Premier League Encounter, Both Sides Seeking Vital Points Amidst Struggles

Wolves, currently bottom of the table, face West Ham United in a crucial English Premier League match. Wolves have a poor home record, with one draw and eight losses. Their defense is significantly weakened by injuries to key players, including Bueno and Toti Gomes, forcing them to use a makeshift three-man defence. Their midfield core is also impacted by injuries. Wolves' attack relies heavily on Hwang Hee-chan's counter-attacking speed and set-piece opportunities. With only 11 goals scored in 19 matches, they struggle to score at home. A positive note is the return of Andre to the midfield, which could help stabilize their play. West Ham United are also struggling. They have gone eight matches without a win, putting them in a precarious position just four points above the relegation zone. Despite this, their attack shows promise, with Jarrod Bowen leading the team in goals with seven. Lucas Paqueta's playmaking and wing attacks are key to breaking through. However, their defense has been leaky, conceding 11 goals in the last six matches, and they will be without key players due to the Africa Cup of Nations, weakening their wing play and making it difficult to secure results away from home. Prediction: Under 2.25 goals expected.
