Head-to-head records
West Ham arrive in solid form having won three of their last four matches in all competitions, including a 3-0 victory against Derby and a 4-2 win over Wolves. They have scored in every fixture so far, averaging two goals per game in the Championship. In contrast, Bolton are on a three-game losing streak and conceded four goals at Millwall last time out. With key midfielder J. Sheehan suspended, the visitors have a strong probability of avoiding defeat.
West Ham have found the back of the net in all four of their league fixtures this season, averaging 2.5 goals per match on home soil. Derby enter the fixture with multiple absences including P. Agyemang, D. Murkin, L. Travis, M. Clarke, and C. Morris, leaving them depleted against a West Ham attack that has registered eight goals in four league games.
Yes — 73% confidence
Both teams have scored in 100% of their Championship matches so far this season. West Ham have found the net four times across three matches but conceded in every outing, while Wolves have scored nine goals and conceded four without keeping a single clean sheet. Defensive lapses on both sides make goals at both ends highly probable.
Wolves or Draw — 76% confidence
Wolves enter this fixture in superior league form, having won two and drawn one of their opening three Championship fixtures while scoring nine goals. West Ham are still searching for their first league victory of the campaign after taking two points from three games and losing their only home fixture 2-1 against Charlton. Wolves carrying positive momentum gives them a strong probability of coming away with at least a point.
These two calls are about different parts of the match (both teams to score 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.

Watford remain undefeated in league play with a win and a draw, winning their sole home Championship fixture 2-1 against Southampton. West Ham are winless in their opening two league encounters (one draw, one defeat) and have conceded an average of two goals per game in the Championship.
Both Watford and West Ham have scored in 100% of their Championship fixtures this season (three goals scored in two matches apiece). Concurrently, neither team has recorded a clean sheet in the league, with Watford conceding two goals and West Ham allowing four. Midweek matches also saw both teams find the net, indicating sustained offensive rhythm and defensive vulnerabilities on both sides.
Southampton come into the tie with strong recent momentum, winning four of their last five matches. West Ham have won only once in their past five games and enter without T. Soucek and Pablo. Given that three of the last five meetings hosted by Southampton have ended in draws and the overall 10-match head-to-head history averages just 2.2 goals per game, backing Southampton in the Double Chance market provides a well-calibrated, high-probability position.
