Wolves v West Ham

Wolves vs West Ham Preview

Wolves will no doubt be eager to return to their home surroundings of Molineux when they take on West Ham on Saturday afternoon following a defeat and a draw in their last two games on the road, while West Ham's winless run in the Premier League was extended to four games on Tuesday night when the London club drew 1-1 at home with Tottenham resulting in only three points separating the two clubs prior to this upcoming clash in the west midlands.

Wolves are another side that have produced a mixed bag of results lately in the English top flight as Gary O'Neil's side have picked up four wins, drawn twice but have also been handed four defeats within their last 10 games overall, so the hosts' mid-table position of 10th is probably spot-on for how current form has unfolded.

However, form and results on home soil at Molineux have remained fairly solid and although Wolves suffered recent back-to-back defeats at the hands of Manchester United and Brentford, Gary O'Neil's side have lost just these two matches within their last 12 home games.

Seven wins within these previous 12 home games suggest Wolves look set to return to winning ways at Molineux especially as the west midlands club have picked up notable wins against the likes of Manchester City, Tottenham and Chelsea within this period as well.

West Ham still occupy a creditable seventh place in the Premier League table but the London club have now failed to win any of their last four games overall and they now find themselves 12 points behind fifth placed Tottenham following three draws and a defeat.

Points picked up in stalemates with Burnley, Aston Villa and Tottenham have been offset by having been dealt a 4-3 loss away from home at Newcastle United and although West Ham had previously collected back-to-back wins against the likes of Brentford and Everton, these victories have been the visitors' only highlights in their last 12 matches overall.

David Moyes' side have also been dealt four defeats within these previous 12 games which has seen the east end London side slip to losses against Manchester United, Arsenal, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United, so the visitors will do well to get a point on the road against a solid Wolves outfit on home soil here.

In addition, West Ham have managed to pick up just one win from their last five outings on the road which does not bode well for a successful trip to the west midlands on Saturday.
