Wolverhampton Analysis

After 3 draws and 16 losses, the home team is at the 20th position, having earned 3 points. In their last match, they drew 1-1 against Manchester United away, having lost their previous match against Liverpool (2-1) away. This team maintains its form when playing away, as they have recorded 3 wins, 2 draws, and 10 losses in their last 30 away matches, compared to 3 wins, 2 draws, and 10 losses at home. In their last 9 home matches in the league, Wolverhampton has registered 1 draw and 8 losses, obtaining 1 point out of a possible 27.

In this competition, they are on a run of 5 losses in their last home games and have not won any of their last 19 matches. Defensive solidity has not been their strong suit, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 10 matches in this competition. This team rarely scores first, having only managed to take the lead in 3 of their last 19 Premier League matches, of which they went into halftime ahead in only 1, but never managed to maintain that lead until the end. In 19 matches in the competition, they have never come back to win in the 16 matches where they conceded the first goal.

Wolverhampton Wanderers enters this match after a draw, at 1-1, against West Ham United, putting an end to eleven straight losses in the Premier League; the only goal for the team was scored by Ladislav Krejčí. The home team is expected to adopt a tactical system of 3-4-3, with high pressing and well-advanced lines. Up front, the trio consisting of Hee-Chan Hwang, Tolu Arokodare, and Jhon Arias promises to create havoc in opposing defenses, combining creativity, speed, and scoring ability. The right side is typically the main stage for local attacks, with Jackson Tchatchoua emerging as a true offensive engine. Rodrigo Gomes, Toti Gomes, Marshall Munetsi, and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde are all out for this game due to injuries.

Confirmed lineup: José Sá, Ladislav Krejci, Hugo Bueno, Matt Doherty, Jackson Tchatchoua, Yerson Mosquera, João Gomes, Jhon Arias, Tolu Arokodare, Jørgen Strand Larsen, Mateus Mané.
Coach: R. Edwards.

In the last match, they drew at home with Brighton & Hove Albion (2-2). Curiously, this team has been stronger away than at home, having recorded 3 wins, 4 draws, and 8 losses in their last 30 away matches, compared to 2 wins, 4 draws, and 9 losses at home. In the league, West Ham has earned 7 points out of a possible 27, with 1 win, 4 draws, and 4 losses in their last 9 away games.

The team has not been very strong defensively, as they have conceded goals in their last 10 matches, but their attack has scored regularly, finding the net in 7 of their last 10 matches in this competition. There is a trend for high scoring in their away matches, as 9 of their last 9 games in this competition ended with more than 1.5 goals. In 19 matches in this competition, they have only managed 2 comebacks in the 13 matches where they conceded first.

West Ham United enters this match after a draw, at 2-2, against Brighton, ending a run of three consecutive losses in the Premier League; the goals for the team were scored by Lucas Paquetá and Jarrod Bowen.
