West Ham United are back at home for the second time this season and will be confident of picking up their first home points, buoyed by what is sure to be a packed-out London Stadium.
The Hammers would’ve liked to have picked up more than two points from their opening three league games. With that said, an adjustment period is only natural, and the performances of their new signings, including attacker Manor Solomon , promises for an exciting season ahead.
Wolves have had a strong start in their return to the Championship with seven points from their opening three league games, and their nine goals scored puts them the top scoring team in the division.
Two sides who look strong candidates for a return to the Premier League given the quality at each side's disposal. Find out everything you need to know ahead of this one below.

Head-to-Head
West Ham United vs Wolves Head-to-Head
This is the first meeting between both sides since April in the Premier League, when West Ham United ran out 4-0 winners at London Stadium following a brace from both Dinos Mavropanos and Taty Castellanos.
West Ham United have historically had the upper hand in this fixture, with 37 wins in their head-to-head fixtures to Wolves' 27 wins, while there have also been 14 draws.
Ahead of this Tuesday's game, there hasn’t been a draw in the last 20 meetings dating back to the 16th of October 2010. On that occasion at Molineux Stadium a Matt Jarvis opener for the home side was cancelled out through a second-half penalty from Mark Noble.

West Ham United Form Guide
Last time out, West Ham United picked up a point on the road at Vicarage Road against Watford when a home opener from Amin Nabizada was cancelled out by a Mattie Pollock own goal following some dogged pressure from Taty Castellanos to force a mistake from the Watford defence.
Two points from their opening three league games have the club currently 19th in the table, though it’s still very much early days in the season and the quality in this squad is sure to have them moving towards the top half of the table sooner rather than later.
The addition of attacker Manor Solomon in particular looks to be shrewd business while Jarrod Bowen is another that is sure to give this Wolves defence problems. The Hammers stalwart scored 38 goals in the Premier League over the last three seasons, and it would be no surprise to see him get off the mark with his first goal of this Championship season here.
This West Ham United squad is just waiting to click in the Championship, and their comprehensive 1-4 win over Southampton in the Carabao Cup has already given us a glimpse into what to expect in the coming months.
Wolves Form Guide
Wolves have had a strong start to their 26/27 campaign following their relegation from the Premier League . They’ve picked up seven points from their opening three league games, with their nine goals scored putting them as the highest scorers in the league.
In their latest game, they treated their supporters to a comprehensive 4-1 victory over Stoke following a brace of goals from Rodrigo Gomes , a penalty courtesy of Raúl Jiménez and a late goal from Jordan James . This victory brought them up to second on the table behind only Charlton, who’ve won three of their three opening games.
Wolves are managed by César Peixoto, who was appointed this summer following experience in Portugal; they’ve certainly built a strong squad which will be expected to be thereabouts at the top come next May.
Prediction & Best Bet
West Ham United vs Wolves Prediction & Best Bet
West Ham United Win & Over 2.5 Goals – 2/1
The Hammers are strong favourites for this Tuesday night’s fixture at 10/11 despite their slow start to the season. They look worthy of the favourite’s tag too with quality in this side from back to front while their win over Southampton in the Carabao Cup suggests it’s only a matter of time before we see similar showings in the Championship.
Though the home side are favourites, I fancy there to be plenty of goals in this one given the attacking talent on both sides of the field, including Jarrod Bowen , Manor Solomon and Taty Castellanos for the home side amongst others while Wolves boast attacking talents such as Fer López , Raúl Jiménez and Mateus Mané .
