    03/23 EPL Wolves/West Ham

    I'll run with Lakerboy's theme and try to get some centralized thoughts on the lone EPL match tomorrow.

    The line has wolves +.5 which I think could be great value for a draw match. Wolves have been on good form and drew with Aston Villa Sunday. West Ham has been crappy on form lately but they have faced the top 3 clubs In the last 4 matches.

    Thoughts?

    These days taking an over in the EPL seems to be a good bet. Though West Ham can't score and i wouldn't want to rely on Wolves to score. Tough match, the draw and under seems likely.

    I would swerve the game, but if anyone wants to put money on it, I'd tell them to back the Hammers. They are half decent at home and will be looking to get wins over the teams around them to keep them in the Premiership. Out of their last five home games, the Hammers have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1.

    Also, overs could be a good bet too, since 60% of West Ham's games have gone over 2.5 goals.

    agree with SoV, one to stay clear of, Wolves and west ham could both do with the point, draw would not surprise me,

    I would tend to agree. Both clubs are battling being relegated and a point to either club has to feel like a necessity. Plus Zola could be out of a job quickly unless he gets results so I don't know how willing he would be to unleash the dogs (or poodles) and risk dropping everything.

    Lean to the Hammers...Zola's on a two game leash and their next game is home to Stoke which is more likely to end in a draw. Considering their run in, this may be their best shot at all 3pts and a chance to do the double over the Wolves (their only away win). Plus, they rested some players against the Gunners so they should have some fresh legs. Wolves were quality at Villa Park, but that was a local derby so there could be a bit of a letdown, although that's tough to argue since this is potentially a 6 pointer and Wolves may feel a little insulted over West Ham 'sitting' players for this one. Can see this ending 2-1 Hammers or 2-2. Maybe those 30,000 clap banners they're giving away to fans will help give the Hammer's the edge! lol.

    Yeh, draw looks good. Hard to pick overs and unders though.

    Playing Draw/Over , have a strong lean on both teams scoring at least 1

    Draw (+260) 78>202
    Over 2.5 (-101) 202>200

    I'm leaving this well alone, i think there are better games out there. Wolves have shown themselves to be very solid at time and west ham look like they want to give up at times

    From a relegation battle perspective this has to be a West Ham win. I know Wolves have had good form, but West Ham are strong at home and very desperate for a win, not a draw. They lost 3 games, those were all top 3 teams, if they lose in this spot then they really deserve to be relegated.
