West Ham United vs Bournemouth Premier League
West Ham United:
In their fifth attempt to secure the first victory of 2024, West Ham aimed for redemption at Bramall Lane following a disappointing FA Cup exit to Bristol City. However, a story of two second-half penalties ended in disappointment for the Irons. Despite James Ward-Prowse's successful spot-kick, Oli McBurnie equalized from 12 yards deep into second-half stoppage time, denying West Ham the win.
Bournemouth:
A 4-0 defeat at home to Liverpool marked consecutive Premier League losses for Andoni Iraola's side, following a 3-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur to close out 2023. Despite these setbacks, Bournemouth currently sits 13th in the table, with Fulham only ahead on goal difference, having played two more games. Apart from the anticipated losses to Tottenham and Liverpool, Bournemouth had a positive winter period, securing their eighth win in the last 11 games across all competitions with a recent FA Cup victory against Swansea City.
Analysis:
West Ham's impressive home defense might face a tough test against Bournemouth's potent attack. However, with Bowen back in action and Kudus eager to make amends after AFCON, the Irons have the firepower to compete.While acknowledging Bournemouth's cup performance, facing West Ham at the London Stadium is a different challenge. A third consecutive Premier League loss is likely for the Cherries in the capital.
