Any West Ham vs Wrexham prediction starts with a clear favourite, as the flying Hammers welcome the Red Dragons to the London Stadium on Friday night in the English Championship.
West Ham dropped down from the Premier League and have hit the ground running, sitting second with 11 points from six games and already looking every bit the promotion contender in this division.
Wrexham arrive in 14th on seven points from their opening six matches, still finding their feet at this level after a solid but unspectacular start to life in the Championship.
The gap in the table tells the story, and the hosts head in as strong favourites with the visitors chasing only their second league win of the campaign.
West Ham vs Wrexham Form
West Ham are flying, sitting third in the form table and undefeated in 14 of their last 15 Championship matches. They have scored at least two goals across 15 of their last 18 outings in the division, netting three or more in each of their three most recent. Jarrod Bowen is the man in form, having attempted three or more shots in all six of his last six appearances.
Wrexham sit 14th for form and have won just one of their opening six Championship games, salvaging a draw with Burnley in midweek. Their strength is in the air, where they rank highly, but finishing has been a weakness. Kieffer Moore leads the line and has recorded a shot on target in each of his last four appearances.

West Ham vs Wrexham Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: This is a comfortable home job on paper. West Ham are second, scoring for fun and unbeaten across 14 of their last 15 Championship outings, while Wrexham have won just once in six. We are backing the hosts to control the game and edge it 2-1. West Ham to win looks the play at 3/5 with AK Bets.
Best Bets
Joel Veltman Over 0.5 in the Player Shots On Target market. With Veltman set to come in at right-back and West Ham heavily favoured to dominate at home, he shapes up as strong value here, rated well ahead of the market to register at least one effort on target.
George Thomason in the To Be Shown A Card market. Thomason carries a hefty implied probability of picking up a booking in a contested midfield battle, comfortably ahead of the implied market expectation and offering plenty of value in the cards market.
West Ham vs Wrexham Bet Builder
Our four-leg bet builder leans into West Ham's firepower: Jarrod Bowen over 2.5 shots, Bowen over 1.5 shots on target, over 2.5 home goals, and Valentin Castellanos to be carded.
Bowen has attempted three or more shots in each of his last six Championship appearances, so backing him over 2.5 shots looks a sensible starting point for the build.
On top of that, Bowen has recorded two or more shots on target in each of his last three outings, making over 1.5 shots on target another leg with plenty behind it.
West Ham have scored three or more goals in three of their last three Championship matches, so over 2.5 home goals fits neatly given their scoring form at this level.
Castellanos completes the build having been carded in three of his last five Championship appearances, a solid record even with the striker missing this particular fixture through injury.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 18/1 and is as short as 16/1 elsewhere.

West Ham vs Wrexham Talking Points
West Ham arrive on the back of a 3-2 win at Bolton, where Jarrod Bowen bagged a brace and Dinos Mavropanos added the other, and the Hammers have racked up 14 goals across their opening six Championship fixtures. This is Wrexham's first-ever competitive match at the London Stadium, and the Red Dragons will need their aerial strength and disciplined defending to keep a rampant home side quiet. Bowen against a Wrexham backline that has struggled to contain in-form attacks is the standout duel, and the numbers point firmly towards the hosts.
