West Ham enter the match in dire shape, just one point away from the safe zone. They have picked up five points in their last five Premier League matches (although they did draw with Man City), conceding three of them. Their defense is one of the worst in the league (57 goals conceded), and home matches rarely feature clean sheets: both sides score in 67% of their games at the London Stadium.
Wolverhampton are at the bottom of the table, but they're showing character, regularly scoring even in poor games. The visitors have scored in four of their last five matches, including goals against Liverpool and a high-scoring 2-2 draw with Brentford. However, their defense remains extremely shaky on the road, conceding in 13 of their 14 consecutive away games.
Given the intense battle for survival (the teams are separated by just one point) and abysmal defensive performances on both sides, a clean sheet is unlikely. Four of the last five head-to-head encounters have featured goals. We expect an open game with at least three goals.
