West Ham’s most important match of the year
This is a relegation scrap. Wolves are sitting dead last, 20th on the table with only 17 points over their 31 matches. Unless a miracle happens, their season is pretty much over and they are all but already relegated.
West Ham, on the other hand, are 18th in the table and are fighting tooth-and-nail to avoid the drop. Currently, there are only four points separating 18th on the table to 15th on the table, which means that every single point from here on now could be the difference of playing in the Premier League or playing in the Championship for West Ham.
Expect West Ham to play like their lives depend on it against the worst team in the league and press for multiple goals, knowing they can’t rely on their defense to win games.

Wolves playing freely
There’s a bit of a weird phenomenon we see every now and again when we start to get to the end of the season. Clubs play poorly for the majority of the season, only to finally start performing at the point where the matches no longer really matter.
Wolves were crushed all season long but now the pressure is off, and they’re performing significantly better. They’re playing with a sense of freedom with the weight and pressure of winning off their shoulders, and it’s leading to wins. Their last three EPL games saw them beat Aston Villa, beat Liverpool and draw 2-2 to Brentford.
Wolves are doing better now that these games don’t matter, and I expect their matches to continue to find goals on both ends of the pitch.
