However, they trailed at half-time against Burnley and Birmingham City, losing 1-2 to Birmingham City. The two matches in which Wrexham were level at half-time both ended in draws, showing their ability to hold results in tight situations, but they need improved attacking efficiency to take control against stronger opponents.

[Full-Time Trend/Data Impact]

The match handicap favors West Ham United by one goal, making them the side to focus on. West Ham United have drawn three of their last five matches at half-time but remain unbeaten at full-time with four wins and one draw, showing strong adjustments and continued attacking ability later in games. Wrexham have drawn frequently recently, but their defense can become vulnerable late against stronger opponents.

Considering the recent half-time/full-time trends of both teams, West Ham United are expected to use home momentum and attacking pressure to create threats early and aim to establish a lead before half-time. If Wrexham are forced to focus on defending, their formation may drop deeper, allowing West Ham United to apply pressure through wing attacks and second-phase opportunities.

In the second half, West Ham United's squad depth and superior attacking quality could allow them to continue controlling the match tempo. Wrexham have some counter-attacking ability, but their recent record of chasing games after falling behind has been inconsistent. The hosts have a strong chance of protecting their lead and extending the advantage. However, if West Ham United slow their attacking tempo after taking the lead, Wrexham may still score through counter-attacks, so different result scenarios should be considered. Therefore, win/win is the preferred half-time/full-time choice, with win/draw as the safer option.
