Wolves host West Ham this weekend, and the key matchup to watch will be how Julen Lopetegui's midfield handles Lucas Paquetá. West Ham's form has been rough, sitting 16th with 27 points, but they just hammered Nottingham Forest 4-0. Wolves aren't exactly flying high themselves, 13th with 31 points, and they’re coming off a frustrating 1-1 draw with Newcastle where they let a late lead slip away.
Thing is, Wolves at Molineux under Lopetegui are a different beast. They’ve got a real grit about them now. West Ham might have thumped Forest, but that was at home, and Forest has been dire on the road. I think the home crowd and Wolves' recent defensive solidity will make the difference.
My prediction: Wolves win 2-0.
