Wolves vs West Ham United Matchday Stats Preview
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).
Since Graham Potter’s first game in charge in January, no side has averaged fewer shots-per-game in the Premier League than West Ham (9.3, level with bottom side Southampton), while only Leicester (2) and Ipswich (8) have scored fewer goals in the competition in this time than the Hammers (9).
Having failed to win any of his first five Premier League games against Wolves (D3 L2), West Ham boss Graham Potter has now won his last two against them. Both wins have been by a 3-0 scoreline, with Brighton in April 2022 and with Chelsea the following October.
Wolves’ Jørgen Strand Larsen has made 94 targeted off-the-ball runs into the box in the Premier League this season, at least 11 more than any other player. The Norwegian scored a brace against Southampton last time out to end a run of seven league appearances without a goal.
After his assist for Tomás Soucek against Everton, Jarrod Bowen now has 35 Premier League assists for West Ham, the joint-most of any player for the Hammers in the competition, alongside Mark Noble.
Only Jérémy Doku has attempted (167) and completed (88) more take-ons in the Premier League this season than West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus (162 attempted, 70 successful). 62 of the Ghanaian’s take-ons have been made inside his own half, at least 12 more than any other player in 2024-25.
