On Wednesday evening, from 19:30 pm, Wolverhampton receives a visit to West Ham United, in the 15th round of the Premier League. The “Wolves” are a team to be feared in England, but they will go with a team that has just won on Chelsea, with a score of 1-0! A close match is announced, as the “hammers” would be happy with the away draw.
Molineux meets two teams with great ambitions, but who perform differently. Wolves is 6th (goaltender 19-17) and has become a force under the command of Nuno Espirito Santo, while West Ham is 13th (goaltender 17-23), worrying about relegation. Manuel Pellegrini’s band is too fickle to rank in the Top 10, although the quality of some players in the London squad is unquestionable: Cresswell, Noble, Rice, Anderson or Antonio.
West Ham stopped a series of three consecutive defeats in the championship, with Newcastle (2-3), Burnley (0-3) and Tottenham (2-3), with an unexpected success at Chelsea. In the previous stage, Wolverhampton drew home with Sheffield United (1-1), just a few days after the tie with Sporting Braga (3-3) brought him qualification in the UEFA Europa League in the spring. Wolverhampton has reason to be optimistic ahead of the home game with “hammers”.
Last season, the “wolves” of Raul Jimenez defeated West Ham twice, 1-0 away and 3-0 on their own ground, winning convincing performances. With a complete lot available, surely the hosts will display a good pass game, capable of overcoming the defensive barrage thought by Manuel Pellegrini. We will bet with confidence on a victory of the favorites!

Wolverhampton Wanderers: Patricio; Dendoncker, Coady, Saiss; Doherty, Castro, Neves, Moutinho; Jota, Traore, Jimenez

PREDICTION: Wolves to win @ 1,79
