Wolves and West Ham meet in a crucial relegation-zone clash, with both sides desperately searching for a result that could change the direction of their season.
Prediction: 1-1
This matchup points toward another tight and nervous encounter. Given both teams’ inability to turn performances into wins, a draw once again looks the most realistic outcome.
Wolves Still Waiting for a First Win
Wolverhampton arguably produced one of their best performances of the season in the recent 1-1 draw away at Manchester United, but it still did not bring the long-awaited victory. That result extended their winless run to an astonishing 19 consecutive matches, a mark only matched by Bolton back in 1902. Wolves have collected just three points so far, with only one of them coming at home, also from a 1-1 draw against Brighton. Despite occasional encouraging performances, the lack of confidence in decisive moments continues to cost them dearly.
West Ham Also Deep in Trouble
West Ham arrive in equally worrying form, having gone eight consecutive matches without a win. Away from home, they recently recorded three consecutive score draws before being heavily beaten 3-0 by Manchester City in their last visit. Unlike Wolves, the Hammers still have a realistic chance of avoiding relegation, but that will require turning draws into wins sooner rather than later. For now, consistency and belief remain elusive.
