West Ham United Form Guide

West Ham United’s recent run of fixtures has featured plenty of competitive moments against strong opposition. Last time out, the Hammers shared the points in an entertaining 2-2 draw with Brighton at London Stadium, having taken the lead early through Jarrod Bowen before the teams traded penalties later in the first half. Danny Welbeck and Lucas Paquetá being the players charged with converting from the spot. Brighton would score the lone goal of the second period which meant both teams would have to be content with a draw.

That followed a narrow 1-0 home defeat to Fulham, settled by a late goal, as well as challenging away trips to Manchester City and earlier fixtures against Aston Villa and Brighton. Despite the results, West Ham United have shown attacking threat and resilience, with several matches decided by fine margins rather than a lack of intent or quality.

Wolves Form Guide

Wolves have endured a difficult run of results, facing several top-half opponents in quick succession. A recent 1-1 draw away to Manchester United offered some encouragement, but consistency has been harder to find across December.

Despite the results, Wolves have shown periods of organisation and competitiveness, particularly when playing at Molineux, where they will look to make home advantage count.

Head-to-Head

West Ham United hold the edge in the all-time head-to-head record between these sides, with 36 wins compared to Wolves’ 26, alongside 14 draws. Recent Premier League meetings have often favoured the Hammers.
