Bitesize Prediction: Wolves vs West Ham – 26/08/25

Competition: EFL Cup

Market: Wolves draw no bet

Odds: 8/11 @ 1xBet

Two clubs who will get their respective EFL Cup adventures underway on Tuesday night, Wolves will welcome West Ham to the Midlands for an all-Premier League showdown.

Starting with the hosts, while Wolves might have enjoyed a sensational immediate rise following Vitor Pereira’s back in December, the Old Gold have failed to find any real fluidity on either side of the summer break. Despite cruising their way to Premier League safety last season, the Midlands-based outfit collected just a single point from any of their final four top-flight appearances. Getting the new campaign underway with what was a nightmare 4-0 drumming at the hands of Manchester City, the former Botafogo boss has seen his squad suffer consecutive defeats from their first two Premier League showdowns. However, desperately seeking a much-welcomed boost on Tuesday night, Wolves should be smelling a potential opportunity when they return to Molineux in midweek. Landing a 1-0 victory when they last welcomed West Ham to town back on April 1st, they have also won three of their previous four meetings against the Hammers at Molineux.

As for the visitors, enduring what has been a woeful start to proceedings, it is no secret that the pressure on Graham Potter’s shoulders has now reached a boiling point. Getting the 2025/26 campaign underway with a 3-0 defeat against Premier League returners Sunderland, West Ham are widely regarded as a leading relegation contender this season. Last seen over the weekend suffering an infamous collapse at the London Stadium as they fell to a 5-1 drumming at the hands of historic rivals Chelsea, the former Brighton boss has rightfully come under a huge amount of scrutiny. Currently sat rock-bottom of the Premier League table and with the West Ham supporters making their frustrations heard, Tuesday’s guests will once again be heavily under the microscope when they travel to the Midlands here. Shipping eight goals in their first two Premier League defeats, the Hammers have also recorded just a single clean sheet since the end of February.
