West Ham v Wolves

West Ham vs Wolves Preview

Two struggling clubs in the Premier League will face off at the London Stadium on Monday night with a precious three points up for grabs for both teams as West Ham look to avoid a third league defeat on the trot, while Wolves will look to do the same after recent back-to-back defeats in the English top flight.

Two heavy defeats on the trot for West Ham have seen the London club succumb to losses at the hands of Arsenal 5-2 and a rejuvenated Leicester City 3-1, the latter being Ruud van Nistelrooy's first game in charge of The Foxes.

West Ham had previously registered a slightly surprising 2-0 win away from home at Newcastle United but The Hammers have found stringing together a consistent sequence of results difficult to achieve so far this season under manager, Lopetegui.

Overall, West Ham have managed to collect just four wins within their opening 14 league matches of this season's campaign which have come in the form of victories gained over Crystal Palace, Ipswich Town, Manchester United and Newcastle United, but they have also been dealt seven defeats so far as well.

Results on home soil at the London Stadium have also been severely lacking as West Ham have picked up just three wins from their previous 13 home games but the goals market looks promising as no fewer than 10 of these 13 home games have also resulted in both teams scoring.

Wolves still remain firmly planted in the relegation zone of the Premier League table following recent defeats to Bournemouth and Everton respectively, and this upcoming trip to the nation's capital on Monday night also looks far from being straightforward for Gary O'Neil's side.

Wolves had previously racked up back-to-back wins in the English top flight against Southampton and Fulham in 2-0 and 4-1 wins respectively but these have been the west midlands club's only highlights in what has otherwise been a tough and ultimately disappointing Premier League campaign so far.

Indeed, the bigger picture shows Wolves have registered just two wins from their last 17 league matches in the domestic top flight while also being dealt no fewer than 12 defeats in the process, but the goals market also looks to be a promising proposition where Wolves are concerned.

Both teams have scored in 11 out of Wolves's 14 league matches to date this term and considering they will be up against a West Ham outfit who have also scored and conceded in almost equal measure, further goals at both ends of the pitch look likely.

West Ham v Wolves Verdict

Each of the previous two encounters between West Ham and Wolves have resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net, so goals look set to feature in this one.
