Unbeaten in five league matches, Wolves travel to West Ham for a Premier League encounter this Sunday. The hosts, 16th in the table, are only above the relegation zone thanks to their superior goal difference. The visitors, sixth in the table, remain two points behind Manchester United in the battle for Champions League football. Every point will count at the business end of the season and each team will be fighting tooth and nail to add to their total. The Hammers haven't improved much since the appointment of David Moyes at the end of December. Failing to win nine of the 12 matches he's been in charge for, Moyes' 25 percent win rate may not be enough to keep West Ham up. Fans are pessimistic about their chances of survival and feel that things have been going this way since their move from Upton Park to the Olympic Stadium,

While there are signs of improvement in the tactical discipline of West Ham players - they very nearly got a point at Arsenal at the weekend - nearly is not enough in this battle. They have conceded in each of their last nine Premier League games. Sorting out their leaky defense is imperative to staying up. Wolves, meanwhile, will feel that their draw at home to Brighton last weekend was a case of two points dropped. One of the better away teams in the top flight, they will be confident that they can complete the double over West Ham. Nuno has a dynamic group of attackers at his disposal who link up to great effect regularly. However, three goalless draws from their last five games highlight a failure in clinical finishing. We predict a low-scoring game. Back under 2.5 goals.
