West Ham v Wolves: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Two teams under immense pressure will face each other at the London Stadium on Monday as West Ham host Wolves in the Premier League.

If reports are to be believed, either West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui or Wolves coach Gary O'Neil could lose their jobs if the result of Monday's match goes the wrong way.

Both teams have lost their last two games in the league, conceding eight goals in the process and Monday's contest promises to be a nervewracking affair in the capital.

West Ham United v Wolves betting tips and predictions

Draw and both teams to score - 7/2

Six points separate West Ham and Wolves, with the Hammers 14th and five places better off than Monday's visitors.

Lopetegui's side have been largely inconsistent, but wins over Crystal Palace, Ipswich Town, Manchester United and Newcastle United have allowed them to stay away from the bottom three.

The Hammers board have invested in the Spaniard's plan, but the East London club have yet to reap the rewards as we approach the halfway point of the season.

Despite having plenty of possession and shots against Leicester on Tuesday, the Hammers fell to a 3-1 defeat against the Foxes, and that came just days after they shipped five goals to Arsenal.

The alarming aspect of the Arsenal defeat was that all five of the Gunners' goals came in the first half and Lopetegui's team have not used the London Stadium to help them get out of trouble.

West Ham have only picked up seven points from as many matches at home, and the pressure on the hosts is far from ideal.

Wolves lost 4-2 to Bournemouth last weekend at Molineux before they were thumped 4-0 by Everton in midweek.

The visitors had gone four games unbeaten before those defeats, but the Wolves fanbase seem resigned to the fact that O'Neil will soon be moving on.

Wolves have scored six goals in their last three matches on the road, so it would not be a surprise to see them have some joy on the road.

With both teams under immense pressure, it is tough to back a winner, but a high-scoring draw looks likely in Monday's contest.

Matheus Cunha to score or assist - 1/1

The former of Matheus Cunha has been one of the only positives of Wolves' season, with the Brazilian netting seven times in 14 games.

Cunha has also picked up three assists this season, and all of those have come in the last five games.

Three of Cunha's goals have also come in that time and he remains Wolves' main threat in the final third.

The 25-year-old is a threat all across the park, and with West Ham shipping 15 goals at the London Stadium, Cunha will be relishing the prospect of facing their vulnerable backline.

Jarrod Bowen Over 0.5 shots on target - 1/2

Like Wolves and their reliance on Cunha, West Ham have leaned on the ability of Jarrod Bowen throughout the campaign.

The England international has only been able to score four times this season, but unlike Cunha he plays predominantly on the right wing.

Despite his lack of returns, Bowen at least does his best to lead the attacking charge. The former Hull City winger has registered 19 shots on target this season in all competitions.

He has managed to test opposition goalkeepers eight times in six appearances and he found the target with three shots in the recent defeat to Leicester.

Bowen has the ability to win a game on his own for the Irons, so expect him to trouble the Wolves defence on numerous occasions on Monday.
