Wolverhampton Wanderers will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 14 points behind West Ham United.
- West Ham United have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Wolverhampton Wanderers form and stats
When playing at home in the Premier League, Wolverhampton Wanderers have managed 5 wins, 4 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 14 games.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 209 minutes without scoring a league goal. C. Coady was the last player to find the net.
The Wolves fans got no joy from their last match, a Premier League game also here at Molineux Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against Liverpool (placed 7th). Preceding that game was the away draw at Aston Villa that finished 0-0.
There will be little rest for Wolverhampton Wanderers after this match as they are travelling to Fulham for a Premier League game in only four days.
Wolves are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 14 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Wolverhampton Wanderers's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 15 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
West Ham United form and stats
6-3-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for West Ham United in their Premier League matches away. With two straight losses from their last two away games, West Ham are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
West Ham's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Arsenal that finished 3-3. A 0-1 defeat away at Manchester United before that.
Drawing 3-3 against Arsenal after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 3-0. Their manager D. Moyes needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for West Ham, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
West Ham are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 19 away goals from 14 games (in the league). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. West Ham United have conceded 17 goals in these away matches.
