In the 30th round of the English Premier League, Wolverhampton will face West Ham in an exciting clash set for Tuesday, April 1, with kick-off at 20:45 Central European Time. I recommend betting on the goal-scoring potential of this match.
Match Preview
This season, Wolves have delivered modest performances compared to previous years. With Ipswich, Leicester, and Southampton being notably weaker, Wolverhampton has managed to secure 17th place in the standings.
Their nine-point cushion above the relegation zone is substantial, especially considering the poor form of the bottom teams. It is believed that Wolves may need just 7-8 points from their remaining matches to maintain their position in the Premier League.
West Ham, who are positioned just above Wolves, have an 8-point lead. The “Hammers” have also seen a dip in form and are no longer in contention for a top-10 finish.
Earlier this year, Graham Potter was appointed to turn things around. Under his guidance, West Ham was eliminated from the FA Cup and earned 11 points from nine Premier League matches. It’s still too early to assess the full impact of the new manager.
Match Facts
- Wolves have won only one of their last five home matches.
- West Ham has scored in 10 consecutive away games.

Probable Line-ups
Wolverhampton: Sa, Toti, Agbadu, Doherty, Semedo, Ait Nouri, Joao Gomes, Andre, Bellegarde, Guedes, Cunha.
West Ham: Areola, Mavropanos, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson, Wan-Bissaka, Ward-Prowse, Soucek, Kudus, Paqueta, Bowen.
Head-to-Head
West Ham has won the last three encounters between the teams.
Prediction
Given West Ham’s strong form on the road, they have a solid chance of taking all three points back to London, especially with Wolverhampton’s current struggles. I recommend betting on West Ham to score more than 1 goal in this match.
