The Irons are on a three-game winning streak at the moment, scoring 10 goals in that period. Interestingly, they have suffered just one defeat in all competitions this season, with that loss coming at home against Charlton Athletic in the Championship last month.
Valentin Castellanos is nursing a hamstring strain and remains a doubt for this match. He missed the trip to Bolton. Tomas Soucek has an ankle injury and could return to action later this month.
The Red Dragons have drawn their last two league games and will look to extend their unbeaten run here. Notably, they have gone undefeated on their travels in the Championship this season, keeping two clean sheets in three games.
Max Cleworth and Josh Windass were subbed off with knocks against Burnley and will undergo late fitness tests. Liberato Cacace is yet to make an appearance this season, and his involvement remains doubtful. Nathan Broadhead was on the bench against Burnley, but Ben Sheaf is expected to sit this one out.
The Irons have won four of their last five games. The visitors, meanwhile, have managed just one win across all competitions. With that in mind, we back West Ham to secure a win.
