Wolverhampton Wanderers will need to be defensively alert, as West Ham United will continue their tactical usage of attacking through balls. West Ham United will hope that Wolverhampton Wanderers attack wide so they can prevent danger with their superior defence on the wings. West Ham United should be able to pick up some extra possession as they have performed better than Wolverhampton Wanderers in the air. Although West Ham United have recovered from early goals frequently, Wolverhampton Wanderers are experts at protecting the lead.
