West Ham vs Wolves: free online , predictions and lineups

West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers on December 10, 2024, is pivotal for both teams as they navigate through challenging seasons. Currently positioned 14th with 15 points, West Ham is under pressure following a recent loss to Leicester City . In contrast, Wolves find themselves in the relegation zone at 19th place with only 9 points after suffering a heavy defeat against Everton . This context underscores the urgency for both squads to secure a win.

Lopetegui has won only four of his opening 14 Premier League games despite a huge summer spend and sections of the away support appeared to have turned on him during the loss at the King Power Stadium.

Gary O’Neil initially did well, things have stalled since.

Predictable lineups:-

West Ham United possible starting lineup: Fabianski; Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Palmieri; Alvarez, Soler; Bowen, Soucek, Kudus; Fullkrug

Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup: Bentley; Doherty, Gomes, Dawson, Ait-Nouri; Doyle, Lemina, Bellegarde; Sarabia, Cunha, Hwang

Mohammed Kudus was suspended for a whopping five games, following his red card at Tottenham, before returning to the team against Leicester, so now can he rediscover his best form, having scored a brace when Wolves most-recently visited the London Stadium 12 months ago?

Both teams need a win to ease pressure, and the Opta supercomputer thinks it will be West Ham who come away with the three points. Lopetegui gets a much-needed victory in 53.5% of the 10,000 pre-match simulations.

Wolves earn an away win in 22.7% of sims, while a draw that doesn’t really do either side any favours happens in the remaining 23.8%.

Key players will play a critical role in this encounter; Mohammed Kudus for West Ham and Matheus Cunha for Wolves could be decisive in influencing the match's outcome . While specific predictions and lineups remain speculative due to the dynamic nature of team selections and player fitness, analysts suggest that West Ham's slight advantage from their recent home form could tip the scales in their favor . Thus, this match not only impacts league standings but also reflects on managerial pressures faced by both clubs.
