Key Statistics
West Ham have started the Championship season without a win, while Wolves have gone unbeaten across their opening matches.
Wolves' latest result was a commanding 4–1 win over Stoke.
The important factor is that both sides possess enough attacking quality to exploit defensive weaknesses.
West Ham have struggled to close games down, while Wolves have already shown the ability to score multiple goals against Championship opposition.
Team News
West Ham remain without Tomáš Souček, while Pablo is back in contention after returning to the bench. Dinos Mavropanos could also return after missing the Watford match.
Wolves enter the game with considerably better momentum. Their attacking group has been producing consistently, and the 4–1 win over Stoke should encourage them to remain aggressive rather than sit deep.
Prediction Analysis
West Ham at home should be able to score against Wolves as I expect them to score as well.
So it is a better option to go with over 1.5 goals. If you dare, then BTTS isn't bad.
