The Premier League continues this weekend with a fixture that has repercussions in the race for European football. For today’s betting tip, we are focusing on the match between West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers at the London Stadium.
Craig Dawson’s second goal in as many games ensured West Ham United made it three without defeat in the Premier League last weekend. It was another unconvincing result for David Moyes’ side, but the Hammers remain fifth in the Premier League.
Moyes’ squad has some injury worries heading into this Sunday’s fixture - especially defensively. Defensive trio Vladimir Coufal (sports hernia), Angelo Ogbonna (knee injury), and Arthur Masuaku (knee injury) are all going to miss this weekend’s fixture. In addition, Manuel Lanzini has an achilles injury which will keep him out against Wolves.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are amid an impressive run of form. Bruno Lage’s side have lost one game in the last eight in the Premier League (correct at time of writing), placing themselves within touching distance of the European spots.
If Wolves can beat Arsenal in midweek, and West Ham on the weekend, Wolves could enter the top five by the conclusion of matchday 27. This impressive form has coincided with a clean slate on the injury front. Both Willy Boly and Yerson Mosquera are the only question marks ahead of Sunday.
When Wolverhampton Wanderers first returned to the Premier League, they enjoyed an impressive spell against this weekend’s opponents. They went on a four-game undefeated stretch against the Hammers - winning the four matches by an aggregate of 8-0.
However, since West Ham United began contending for Europe, their fortunes against Wolves has changed. Moyes’ team have won two out of their last three against Sunday’s opponents - including a 4-0 win in the last meeting at the London Stadium.
West Ham United are not enjoying the same run of form that led them to as high as the top four earlier in the campaign. They’re riding two-straight draws in the Premier League, and we think this run may continue in a European six-pointer. Therefore, we are suggesting a draw with Bet365 at 12/5.
