West Ham preview: Impressive Irons

West Ham United were not as impressive as they have been recently last weekend as they edged past League One side Burton Albion by a goal to nil after extra-time, courtesy of a Crysencio Summerville strike.

That result means that the Irons have now endured just one defeat in their last seven matches across all competitions, that coming away at Chelsea when they had been 2-0 up at half-time at Stamford Bridge.

Bournemouth preview: Back to some form

AFC Bournemouth have endured a mixed campaign but the Cherries appear to have come through the worst of it as they now begin the weekend’s round of fixtures back in the top-half of the table and chasing European qualification.

The visitors managed to defeat Everton by two goals to one at the Hill Dickinson Stadium in their most recent outing, extending their current unbeaten run of form to six matches in the Premier League.

West Ham vs Bournemouth prediction

These are two of the more in-form sides in the Premier League with differing aspirations. Even with their improved run of form, the Hammers still remain firmly inside the bottom three and the relegation places. Bournemouth are closing the gap on the top seven or eight and neither are necessarily close to achieving their respective goals, but they are improving and both teams scoring would seem a good bet for this one in the east end of the capital city.

West Ham vs Bournemouth tip: Both teams to score
