Wolverhampton vs West Ham prediction 14.01.2023

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: Saturday, 14th January 2023
• Kickoff: 15:00 UK / 16:00 CET
• Venue: Molineux Stadium

Wolverhampton are playing badly this season. They are in the relegation zone with one point fewer than safety. Wolverhampton are without a win in the previous four games in all competitions. In the last match, they lost after penalties on the road in EFL Cup against Nottingham Forest. That game was fairly even, so it is no wonder the teams needed a penalty shootout to decide a winner. During the penalty shootout, Nottingham Forest had more calmness, so they secured progress to the semifinal.

Wolverhampton had problems scoring goals before Julen Lopetegui was appointed head coach. Since the Spaniard was appointed, Wolverhampton scored at least one goal in five of six games in all competitions. On the other hand, Wolverhampton allowed at least one goal in every of the previous five games. 

West Ham are underachieving, too, this season. They are just one position above the relegation zone. West Ham were on the run of six games without a win until the previous match, when they won 1-0 on the road in FA Cup against Brentford. 

West Ham scored at least one goal in six of the last seven matches, including friendlies. On the other hand, West Ham allowed at least one goal in nine of the previous ten games. 

Wolverhampton vs West Ham pick: Both teams to score - yes

Wolverhampton are showing signs of life since Julen Lopetegui signed. Wolves had many problems in offense in the first part of the season, but now they are scoring regularly. On the other hand, Wolverhampton's defense is too bad, so they will certainly give a few too-good goalscoring opportunities so both teams to score - yes should be a suitable bet for this tie.
