West Ham vs Wolves odds: Free betting tips – Premier League

Despite hefty pre-season hype, West Ham and Wolverhampton Wanderers are still waiting for their first Premier League wins of the campaign. Will either get one on Saturday at 15:00? Here’s our betting advice:

West Ham vs Wolves odds: The case for the visitors

Though neither side have triumphed yet, Wolves unquestionably carry more momentum. They came from behind twice against Everton, held Man City and won 2-0 at Sheffield Wednesday in the EFL Cup in midweek.

West Ham by contrast have lost all three Premier League games and were even trailing to League One team AFC Wimbledon in the EFL Cup until the Dons had a player sent off.

Despite that, the Irons play the part of 6/4 favourites in our West Ham vs Wolves odds, with the Championship champions 9/5 to take all three points and the draw available to back at 23/10.

The hosts’ sole London Stadium win in five came past on-the-beach Everton on last season’s final day. More disturbingly, they fell home and away to the last two clubs to gain automatic promotion: Newcastle and Brighton.

Manuel Pellegrini’s men have netted exactly one in successive top-flight fixtures and three of their most recent five in east London, while the newcomers have struck precisely two twice this term.

Therefore, our West Ham vs Wolves prediction for correct score backers is 1-2 at 9/1.

Best Bet: Wolves to come from behind and win @ 17/2 odds

As mentioned, Wolves have already pocketed a Premier League point from behind, which is rendered more relevant by West Ham losing their last two encounters from in front.

Bournemouth and Arsenal both found routes back from 1-0 down and our top Premier League betting tip for this clash is for Wolves to recover from any deficit to prevail at 17/2.

Scorer: Marko Arnautovic to be first goalscorer @ 9/2 odds

West Ham’s talisman Arnautovic went off injured at the Emirates and didn’t face AFC Wimbledon, but was overheard at the Cherry Red Records Stadium confirming like another famous Arnie that he’d be back.

The Austrian got the opening goal in his last two appearances, against the Cherries and Gunners, his 12th and 13th strikes since December. He’s hard to resist at 9/2 to fire first again.
