West Ham or Draw — 78% confidence
West Ham enter this fixture leading the Championship table, having won four of their last five matches across all competitions. Wrexham have built their season on stubborn defensive organisation, drawing four of six games and conceding only once in three away fixtures. Covering both the home victory and the draw reflects the hosts' superior attacking returns while acknowledging the visitors' high draw rate.
These two calls are about different parts of the match (team total goals and double chance), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
