Joe Cole’s West Ham v Wolves Predictions: Goals Galore Expected
Hammers Set to Sink Wolves in Monday Night Thriller
London Stadium is set to host a Premier League clash brimming with tension as West Ham United take on Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday night. Former Hammers midfielder joe Cole believes his old side will emerge victorious, predicting a 3-1 win for David Moyes’ men.
Cole, speaking exclusively to Paddy Power News, highlighted West Ham’s attacking prowess despite their recent loss to Leicester City.”West Ham had 31 shots the other night against Leicester, 31, and they lost 3-1!” he exclaimed. “Going forward things are functioning, putting them away will come in time.”
The arrival of Niclas Fullkrug adds another dimension to West Ham’s attack, according to Cole. “He’s getting back up to speed,” Cole said. “You want Lopetegui to play Fullkrug and make him stay between the sticks. He can be the type of figure that Raul Jimenez was for Wolves, a pure finisher.”
Cole believes a partnership between Fullkrug and Michail Antonio coudl be the key to unlocking West Ham’s goalscoring potential. ”Michail Antonio’s been a great, great player but he needs support,” he explained. “He can’t play for 90 minutes every game so, between the two of them, you’d imagine ther’s enough goals there.”
However, Cole acknowledges West Ham’s defensive vulnerabilities. “Defensively West Ham need to do better,” he admitted. “There’s been wholesale changes at the back and I think Max kilman has been very good but the defensive structure needs to be better and they need to stop conceding goals.”
Despite these concerns, Cole remains optimistic about West ham’s chances. “I saw enough in West Ham during the week to make me think they’ll go and win this,” he declared. “A win would steady the ship and hopefully we start to see that midfield blend a little bit.”
Cole’s Predictions:
West Ham to win
Both teams to score
Mohammed Kudus to score
Lucas Paqueta to score
