At Molineux Stadium, Wolves will play West Ham United in a pivotal Premier League match. Get ready for an exciting match. There is a lot of excitement for a titanic match as both teams are aiming for European qualification.

Wolves:

Wolves' improvement is evident in the fact that, with eight games remaining in the current season, they have already eclipsed their total points from the entire previous campaign. The Wanderers enter this match after three straight losses, including a midweek tie with 19th-place Burnley. They may still qualify for Europe the next season, though, as a victory would move them up to seventh place and pass their opponents, West Ham United. Although Gary O'Neil's record against David Moyes as a manager is not the best, his team will be looking to Matheus Cunha to contribute another goal.

West Ham:

West Ham United rallied from behind to tie Tottenham 1-1 on Saturday in response to their surrender against Newcastle United. But the Hammers have consistently drawn; since the beginning of 2024, six of those draws have occurred. They are losing three games going into this match, exactly like Wolves, and have only won two of their previous 12 league games this year. Winning has to start now. A victory today would get them level with Manchester United and give them some breathing room over the clubs immediately below them in the standings. Alphonse Areola, the custodian, is sidelined once more because of a groyne injury.
