Jeff Stelling predicts result of West Ham clash v Wolves in Premier League
West Ham will travel to Molineux on Saturday [14 January] to face Wolves in a crucial Premier League game, and Jeff Stelling has predicted a win for the home side.
The Hammers are without a win in their last six games in the Premier League, and David Moyes is under tremendous pressure to keep his job safe.
Wolves are 19th in the league at the moment, just one point behind the Hammers, and this game could be seen as a relegation six-pointer.
Writing on the Super6 website ahead of the action this weekend, Stelling predicted the scoreline to be 1-0 to Wolves.
Must win
This is a game the Hammers must win, and Moyes could face the sack if they lose again.
The Hammers board has backed him with funds, and they have been very patient with him despite poor results, but at some point, they have to act.
If West Ham cannot win against a struggling side, then it’s hard to put complete trust in the manager to turn it around.
Given the quality of players West Ham possess, they should be able to get a win, although the away record for the Hammers has been terrible.
West Ham picked up a 2-2 draw against Leeds away from home in their previous league game. At Elland Road, there were phases where the Hammers looked really impressive.
Gianluca Scamacca scored a cracking goal while Michail Antonio nearly got a winning goal for the club. Nayef Aguerd was superb throughout the game, and Moyes should build on these positives ahead of this must-win game.
