Wolves vs West Ham

Wolves have won 13 points since the start of February in the Premier League (W4 D1 L2), with only Liverpool (17) and Arsenal (14) winning more in that time. Indeed, only league leaders Liverpool (5) have more wins than Vítor Pereira’s side (4) in this period.

Since the start of last season, this was just the second Premier League defeat in 10 midweek games for West Ham (W5 D3). Both of them have come against sides they were above in the table coming into the match (previously a 1-3 defeat v Leicester in December 2024).

Wolves have won and kept a clean sheet in three of their seven Premier League home games under Vítor Pereira, as many times as they managed across their previous 20 league games at Molineux (3).

Wolves lost this exact fixture 2-1 last season, but haven’t lost consecutive home league games against West Ham since a run of three between 1920 and 1922.

West Ham have won seven of their last nine league games against Wolves (L2), as many as they had in their previous 23 against them (D6 L10).

Wolves have picked up as many points in their last six Premier League games (10 – W3 D1 L2) as they had in their previous 12 beforehand (W3 D1 L8). They are looking to win successive matches in the competition for the third time this season, after doing so in November (v Southampton & Fulham) and December (v Leicester & Man Utd).

West Ham have won each of their last three Premier League games played in midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday). Not since May 2021 have they won four midweek league games in a row.

Wolves’ Premier League games this season have seen 98 goals (40 for, 58 against), the joint-most of any club, along with Tottenham Hotspur. Should this game against West Ham see 2+ goals, 30 games will be the earliest into a league campaign that Wolves have scored and conceded a combined 100 goals since 1985-86 in the third tier (27th match), and earliest in the top-flight since 1967-68 (26th).
