West Ham United v Wolves Prediction: 27/10 Old Gold to shine in the capital

Wolves will look to claim bragging rights against fellow promotion rivals West Ham when the two teams meet in the Championship on Tuesday night.

The two sides were relegated last season from the Premier League, and it was the Hammers who finished higher than their visitors.

While it is early days this season, West Ham have started slowly and are yet to win in the second tier on two points.

Wolves have seven points to their name from three matches and they will be confident of unsettling their hosts ahead of what promises to be a lively battle.

West Ham United v Wolves

West Ham v Wolves Prediction

Best Bet: Wolves to win @ 27/10

West Ham and Wolves were the two leading teams in the antepost betting for promotion, but the Hammers are struggling to settle into their rhythm, unlike the Old Gold.

The departures of Mateus Fernandes, Crysencio Summerville and El Hadji Malick Diouf have been hard felt and manager Nuno Espirito Santo has struggled to get his new players to settle in.

Arne Engels, Edvin Austbo, Manor Solomon, Keiber Lamadrid and Joel Veltman have all joined on permanent deals, while loan signings Joel Piroe and Divine Mukasa have also been added as the Irons look to climb back into the Premier League.

Wolves may have lost Joao Gomes on a permanent deal, but the rest of their departures were loan deals or free transfers.

New arrivals Rafiki Said, Jordan James, Joao Virginia, Raul Jimenez and Kieran Trippier have all hit the ground running and Wolves will have no fears heading to the capital.

The Old Gold have won three of the last four meetings between the two clubs, while they have yet to lose this season.

West Ham are winless in three in the Championship and their players have yet to prove they can handle the pressure of promotion.

Alternative Bet: Over 2.5 goals @ 4/5

Wolves have had no issues finding the back of the net so far this season, with Cesar Peixoto's side scoring 14 goals in five outings.

The Old Gold have scored at least two goals in every game in all competitions, which bodes well ahead of the trip to London.

West Ham have conceded seven goals in their five games, but backing over 2.5 goals does give readers cover in case the Hammers score.

Santo's side have scored in each of their fixtures this season, and with Wolves only keeping one clean sheet, there's every chance we witness a high-scoring affair.

West Ham v Wolves Bet Builder Tip

  • Joel Piroe 1+ shots on target

  • Jarrod Bowen 1+ shots on target

  • Most cards - West Ham

    Pays @ 9/2

New Hammers signing Piroe has made a decent impact in his first few games and he has registered six shots on target in his first two starts.

Team-mate Jarrod Bowen has hit the target five times in as many outings and the pair look to have the best chance of testing the Wolves defence on Tuesday night.

The Hammers are under immense pressure at the minute and their fans are already getting restless after a slow start.

Santo's team have committed only 25 fouls in three games, but their players have been booked on seven occasions.

That is four more yellow cards than Wolves have earned, suggesting that West Ham's players are letting their emotions get the better of them.
