TEAMS PREVIEW

Wolverhampton Wanderers FC Preview

Wolves have taken a big step toward safety with a crucial four-point haul from their last two games, drawing 1-1 with Everton and edging past Southampton 2-1. What makes it even more impressive? They’ve done it without their talisman, Matheus Cunha, proving their resilience when it matters most. With nine games to go and matches against Ipswich and Leicester ahead, Vítor Pereira’s side sits comfortably nine points above the relegation zone. Barring a late collapse, their survival looks all but secured.

Key Stats 

1. Wolverhampton has only managed one win in their last five home games with three defeats.
2. They have scored in each of their last six games in the Premier League.
3. Matheus Cunha is Wolves’ top scorer this season with 13 goals.
4. Wolverhampton has scored 20% of their goals between the period of 31-45.

Team News 

With Wolves’ talisman Matheus Cunha already out of the match due to suspension, all eyes will be on Jørgen Strand Larsen, the new crowd favorite Marshall Muntesi. As far as the injuries go, the Wolves will miss the services of Yerson Mosquera, Enso Medina, Sasa and Kalajdzic. 

Wolverhampton Probable XI - Sa (GK) ; Doherty, Bueno, Toti, Semedo, Gomes, Andre, Ait-Nouri, Bellagarde, Munetsi, Larsen

West Ham United FC Preview

At this stage last season, West Ham sat seventh with 44 points but stumbled to a ninth-place finish with just eight more points from their final nine games. Unfortunately for Potter and his side, history seems set to repeat itself—not in their final position, but in the meager points they pick up in the last nine games. And that’s largely down to their recent performances, which have done little to inspire confidence.

West Ham's upcoming clash with Wolves comes at a crucial time, as the Hammers have struggled under Graham Potter, collecting just 11 points from their last nine games. Ironically, Potter was brought in to inject attacking flair after Julen Lopetegui’s dull approach, yet the team’s xG has dropped from 1.46 per game before his arrival to just 0.99. The international break may have provided a much-needed reset, but whether Potter has a tactical ace up his sleeve will be revealed on Tuesday.

Key Stats

1. West Ham have managed just four away wins this season in 14 games.
2. The Hammers may be struggling, but they’ve found joy against weaker opposition, winning four of their last seven clashes with bottom-six sides.
3. Jarrod Bowen and Tomáš Souček are tied as West Ham United's top scorers in the Premier League, each with seven goals

Team News 

West Ham will be without Niclas Füllkrug, Crysencio Summerville, and Vladimir Coufal, but with no suspension worries. 

West Ham Probable XI - Areola (GK); Cresswell, Kilman, Todibo, Wan-Bissaka, Soucek, Alvarez, Ward-Prowse, Scarles; Kudus, Bowen

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS FC vs WEST HAM UNITED FC
Winning Prediction

The Wolves-Hammers clash might not grab headlines, but both sides will be eager for a strong finish to the season. West Ham, however, holds the edge, having won their last three meetings against Wolves—twice at home and once away. Their most recent meeting ended with a 2-1 scoreline, with goals from Jarrod Bowen and Souček.

Given their recent dominance over Wolves and their hosts' shaky home form, West Ham will fancy their chances of claiming victory at Molineux. However, the Wolves are the favorites at 2.41 to win, with West Ham at 3.10 and a draw at 3.25.
