Wolves vs West Ham Prediction 1 April 2025
🔊 Can Wolverhampton close the gap on West Ham in the Premier League? Currently, there's an 8-point difference between them. Both teams sit close to each other in the lower half of the table, but relegation isn't a threat. Let's explore various options to find the best bet for this match.
Head-to-Head
Over the course of 21 head-to-head matches, West Ham hold the advantage with a 57% win rate. They have also come out on top in 5 of the last 6 encounters, including their victory in the first round of the current season (2-1). In that game, Jarrod Bowen put in an outstanding performance, providing an assist for Souček before scoring the winning goal himself. It's worth noting that Wolverhampton have failed to score more than one goal in seven consecutive meetings. Hence, a reasonable betting option could be Wolverhampton's total goals under 1.5.
Head-to-head statistics Wolves - West Ham
Wolverhampton Wanderers Team Overview
Wolverhampton have shown significant improvement under Vitor Pereira. At the very least, the club no longer faces the immediate threat of relegation from the Premier League, sitting nine points clear of the drop zone. Over their last four fixtures, they have suffered just one defeat. However, striker Matheus Cunha, who has found the net in five of his last six matches including the FA Cup, will miss out due to suspension. Without him, Wolverhampton managed a 1-1 draw with Everton and secured a 2-1 victory over Southampton. Injuries will also sideline David, Kalajdzic, and Mosquera.

West Ham United Team Overview
In a stretch of 7 matches, West Ham have not lost by more than a single goal, with just two victories: over Leicester (2-0) and Arsenal (1-0). In their last 8 games, the team have only found the net 6 times. This might be attributed to a shortage of strikers: Antonio, Füllkrug, and Summerville are sidelined with injuries, while loanee Ferguson has seen limited action under Potter-despite recently helping the Republic of Ireland secure a win against Bulgaria in the UEFA Nations League. The forward might get his chance in the upcoming fixture.

🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The main referee for the match is Tony Harrington, who has officiated 14 Premier League games this season. In the West Ham vs Aston Villa clash, he awarded a penalty, while in the Wolverhampton vs Manchester United game, there was a sending-off. On average, the referee issues 3.93 yellow cards per game.
This season, both teams average 2.2 yellow cards per match. Only 1 out of the last 6 matches involving Wolverhampton featured fewer than 4 cautions. In their first-round head-to-head, the teams collectively received 9 yellow cards. Considering the referee's stats, a bet on total yellow cards over 3.5 seems reasonable.
⚽ Goal Prediction
West Ham have struggled to score recently. However, they consistently find the net away from home, scoring in 16 of their last 17 away matches. Wolverhampton's defense has been shaky, conceding an average of 2 goals per game. Therefore, it's fair to expect that West Ham will score.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Both teams come into this match with trends pointing to fewer corners. Wolverhampton have had fewer than 6 corners in 13 of their last 15 home games. West Ham have had fewer than five corner kicks in 6 out of their last 7 matches. Thus, it's worth considering a bet on total corners under 10.5, a trend that has held in 6 head-to-head encounters at Molineux Stadium.
Editor's Prediction
Bookmakers have pegged Wolverhampton as slight favorites for this matchup. Both teams have collected seven points over their last five fixtures, suggesting a close contest that could end in a draw, perhaps with a scoreline of 1-1.
In seven of their last eight matches, West Ham have failed to score more than one goal. Without Matheus Cunha, Wolverhampton's attacking threat has also diminished. Therefore, our primary betting suggestion is on total goals under 2.5, a trend that has held in five consecutive games for the Hammers.
