Two teams in transition meet on Tuesday, April 1st, in what promises to be a tightly contested Premier League fixture. Both Wolves and West Ham have made managerial changes this season, and while progress has been made, they remain precariously close to the relegation zone, 16th and 17th in the standings, respectively.

Wolves: Stabilizing Under Vítor Pereira
Wolverhampton Wanderers have shown signs of renewal since Vítor Pereira took over in December. Their recent form has lifted them nine points clear of the bottom three, with a run that includes just one defeat in four outings. Heading into the international break, Wolves secured a hard-fought 2-1 win over struggling Southampton, hinting at growing confidence and a more cohesive attacking strategy.
West Ham: A Work in Progress with Potter at the Helm
Graham Potter’s arrival has brought a more possession-oriented approach to West Ham, but the results haven’t clicked yet. Despite improved control of play, the Hammers are still struggling to convert that into goals. With only a handful of teams scoring fewer this season, the offensive challenge remains Potter’s most pressing issue heading into this fixture.
Tactical Preview & Prediction
Wolves have started to diversify their goal-scoring options, reducing overreliance on Matheus Cunha, which bodes well for their attacking fluidity. West Ham, on the other hand, may benefit from the open spaces at Molineux, particularly if Wolves commit bodies forward.
Expect a balanced contest where both sides create chances, but neither dominates. Given the tactical setup and vulnerabilities in both defenses, goals on either end feel likely.
Prediction: Both teams to score
