My Prediction
West Ham by 2Well, ring the bells and wake the children – this Wolverhampton versus West Ham match is going to be a sizzler. Let's dive into the cold, hard stats and chew on the juicy details.
Now, someone seems to have forgotten to send me the goalkeeper stats for either team but that's not a problem. I suppose we'll just have to make do with what we have.
Taking a gander at West Ham's players, we've got Aaron Cresswell leading from the front, or back, I suppose, considering he's a defender. His 7.55 rating and 84.0 accurate pass% comes out rather shiny in the fray. Tomáš Souček and James Ward-Prowse aren't too far behind either, with their impressive ratings and Soucek's scoring record this season.
For Wolverhampton, their star players seem to be taking cues from West Ham, focusing on passing rather than putting goals in the back of the net. Jørgen Strand Larsen, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, and André need to step-up their game.
Now, don't get too excited, but the past matchups between these two teams seem as one-sided as a beauty pageant at a trance techno festival. West Ham's had Wolverhampton's number more often than a kindergarten teacher calling roll.
The regular season records do paint a rather somber picture for Wolverhampton fans, with West Ham outperforming them. The recent results continue the trend, with West Ham managing a poke and a prod against a few challenging teams, while Wolverhampton's trip down victory lane has been hit and miss like a cat trying to bat a laser pointer.
Adding all of this to the stew, it makes sense for wand-waving gamblers to put forth their hard-earned cash on West Ham. They're a safe bet like eggs for breakfast. So, tabulating the trivial details and significant stats, my by-the-numbers prediction is:
