In the last Premier League season, West Ham managed to win both head-to-head encounters – 3-0 at home and 2-1 away. West Ham has won 4 out of the last 5 head-to-head meetings.
West Ham
West Ham had a decent season overall but clearly aimed for more – they were undoubtedly targeting a spot in European competitions but failed to achieve that goal. The Hammers finished ninth in the table with 52 points, trailing sixth-placed Chelsea by 11 points. In the summer, Julen Lopetegui took over as head coach.

Wolverhampton
Wolverhampton had no opportunity to set more ambitious goals than simply staying in the Premier League last season – which they managed to do. Stability was lacking throughout the championship for Gary O’Neil’s team, but the Wolves finished 14th, securing their place in the top flight well before the season ended.

Prediction
Our expert pick:
West Ham has looked quite solid in recent friendly matches – they played openly, scored regularly, and experimented a lot. The Hammers will likely focus on attack again today, but Wolverhampton is unlikely to sit back and defend – the teams have scored at least three goals in their last two meetings, and this tradition is likely to continue.
We believe the match will be high-scoring. Our prediction – total over three goals, offered at odds of 1.95.
West Ham is undoubtedly the favorite and has a significant advantage in terms of player quality over their opponent – the Hammers will likely play for the win. Wolverhampton is quite vulnerable in defense and is far from optimal form; in such a state, it’s unlikely the Wolves will be able to put up a fight and create an upset.
Bet – West Ham to win, offered at odds of 2.15.
