Bet 5 – West Ham vs Wolves – Friday 10th April at 8pm
The huge clash at the bottom of the table on Friday supports a West Ham double chance with Wolves over 0 cards.
West Ham’s recent home profile shows control without dominance. Across the last six at home they are W1-D4-L1, which highlights how difficult they are to beat. The underlying data aligns with that trend.
Over the last four at home they post 1.38 NPxG and 1.03 NPxGA with 6.69 xPTS, showing they are regularly competitive and rarely outplayed. They also hold a clear edge in big chances, creating five and conceding just one, which limits the likelihood of defeat even in tight games.
Wolves’ away record is a major weakness. They are W0-D5-L10 on the road, scoring just seven goals across those 15 games. That lack of attacking output is reflected in recent data, with 1.10 xG across the last four away matches.
Defensively they remain vulnerable, conceding 1.81 xGA in that same period and allowing 9.3 shots in the box. That combination of low output and defensive exposure makes it difficult for them to turn draws into wins.
The cards angle is equally strong. Wolves are booked in 94% of away games, which is one of the highest rates in the league. West Ham matches also produce cards consistently, with both teams booked in 80% of their home games. The referee supports this further. Jarred Gillett averages 3.78 cards per game, with both teams booked in 83% of his matches.
With West Ham’s ability to avoid defeat at home, Wolves’ poor away record, and strong card trends backed by the referee profile, this combination bet is well supported.
