Match preview

Wolverhampton Wanderers host West Ham United in the Premier League on 3 January 2026. Wolverhampton Wanderers sit 20th on 20 points and West Ham United are 18th on 39. Wolverhampton Wanderers have won 0 of their last 5 (LLLLD), while West Ham United have won 0 of 5 (DLLLD). In their last 2 meetings, Wolverhampton Wanderers won 1, West Ham United won 1 and 0 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.

How this is worked out

Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.

Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
