West Ham take on the visitors Wolverhampton in the round 15 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, November 9th at London Stadium (London).
West Ham United had high expectations for this season following their UEFA Conference League triumph in 2023, a rare international title for the club. Despite selling Declan Rice, their talisman, the Hammers managed to qualify for the Europa League playoffs and secure a 9th-place finish in the Premier League last season. However, the management opted for a change, replacing David Moyes with a more progressive coach, Julen Lopetegui, known for his stint at Wolves. Despite a summer splurge on new signings, West Ham’s results have been underwhelming. They managed just four wins in the Premier League between August and November. Their Carabao Cup campaign ended in a heavy 1-5 loss to Liverpool. After a surprise 2-0 victory at Newcastle post-international break, the Hammers fell to Arsenal and Leicester, exposing defensive frailties. The loss of Michail Antonio due to a car accident is significant for West Ham, but they have enough depth in attack to compensate.

Wolves have struggled for stability following Julen Lopetegui’s abrupt departure last summer. New manager Gary O’Neil initially faced difficulties, with the team securing just one point from their opening eight matches and exiting the Carabao Cup early. However, Wolverhampton showed resilience in October, narrowly losing to Manchester City and earning draws against Brighton and Crystal Palace. November brought consecutive victories over Southampton and a dominant 4-1 win at Fulham. Nonetheless, recent losses to Bournemouth and Everton, where Wolves conceded four goals in each match, have reignited concerns about their defensive vulnerabilities. Wolves’ defensive collapses in recent games may dent their confidence, especially against a West Ham side eager to bounce back from recent disappointments.
West Ham have dominated this fixture, winning four of the last five encounters, with Wolves managing only one victory during that span. Expect an entertaining, open match as both teams aim to secure a vital three points in their quest for mid-table stability.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
