The Londoners approach this encounter on the back of a three-match winless streak in the Premier League. The team consecutively lost to Newcastle and Wolverhampton with identical scores of 0:1, and also drew with Everton (1:1). Notably, Graham Potter's side is experiencing significant difficulties in attack — in 8 of the last 9 Premier League matches, they failed to score more than one goal.
Currently, the club occupies the 16th place in the table but maintains a comfortable 14-point gap from the relegation zone. In 15 home games, the Hammers have secured only five wins, while losing in eight matches.
Bournemouth continues to face problems in the Premier League, going winless in five consecutive matches. During this period, the team suffered four defeats and drew with Tottenham (2:2). Even home advantage does not help the club: in the last two home matches, the Cherries lost to Brentford and Ipswich with the same score of 1:2.
Andoni Iraola's side has dropped to 10th place in the table, but they are only two wins away from the European competition zone. It is worth noting that in 5 of Bournemouth's last 6 matches in the Premier League, both teams scored. As for away matches, the club is unbeaten in 8 of the last 9 away games, claiming 5 wins and 3 draws.
