Let’s analyse the match between Wolves and West Ham United counting for the 30th round of the English Premier League. Both teams have dropped points in the last round and they will be looking to get back to winning ways. |
The home team, Wolves, occupy the 13th position with 35 points, 28 goals scored and 38 conceded; with a record of 9W – 8D – 12L. They have played 14 home games this season, and registered 5W – 4D – 5L, scoring 15 goals and conceding 15 in the process. Wolves lost against Liverpool 0-1 in their last home match; a game they dominated in terms of ball possession and shorts on target. However, Wolves head coach, Nuno Espírito Santo, used a different playing system in the last 5 rounds. And that could affect the team’s performance. |
On the other hand, West Ham United are in the 5th place with 49 points, 45 goals scored and 35 conceded. Their overall record consists of 14W – 7D – 8L; with an away record of 6W – 3D – 5L. They lost their last 2 away games against Man City and Man United by 2-1 and 1-0, respectively. The 3-3 draw against Arsenal in the last round, cost them the Champions League spot. And this will be a do or die match for David Moyes in order to keep the current Europa League spot. |
West Ham United have improved so much this season, and would be a bonus to get a ticket to the European competitions, contrary to their hosts. I expect a balanced matchup; however, I will back West Ham United to win due to their form. |
