After beating Aston Villa 1-0, West Ham earned only one point in their next three games in the Premier League. David Moyes' charges first drew with Tottenham (1-1) and then lost to Chelsea (1-2) and Everton (0-1). West Ham have four points remaining. At the moment the Hammers are in 18th place in the APL table (relegation zone).

After their 1-0 home win over Southampton, Wolverhampton had another tough game. Manchester City paid a visit to Bruno Lage's team. Wolves conceded two goals in the first half, then they were left with ten men - Collins was sent off. Wolves conceded another goal in the second half - a 0-3 demolition.

Expert Betting Tips
I expect an intense game performed by both clubs. Now Wolverhampton and West Ham United are at the bottom of the standings. Naturally, given the selection of players, such results are unacceptable for both teams. I suggest considering the total over as the main bet. We can also expect a win for the Londoners: they have a huge motivation to break the winless series of performances in the EPL on the home arena.
