Supercomputer predicts whether West Ham will continue impressive Premier League trend vs Fulham

West Ham have enjoyed playing Fulham at the London Stadium in the Premier League over the last few years.

Nuno Espirito Santo will be hoping for a positive result when the Hammers face Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday.

Last time out, West Ham were beaten 3-0 by Manchester City, which means the Irons are without a win in six heading into the Fulham clash.

Nuno’s job is to keep West Ham up, but at the moment, things are proving difficult for the Portuguese head coach.

Ahead of the weekend’s clash, Opta‘s Supercomputer has shared the verdict on who is more likely to walk away with three points.

West Ham slim favourites to beat Fulham

West Ham‘s last win in the league came back in the start of November, with a 3-2 victory over Burnley before the international break.

Fast forward to the end of December, and the Irons have slipped back into the relegation zone, and a win over Fulham is desperately needed.

However, the Hammers may be in luck, as Opta‘s Supercomputer has predicted West Ham to have a 37.8 per cent chance of beating Fulham, with the visitors at 35.8 per cent chance of winning.

This leaves the possibility of a draw at 26.4 per cent, but that won’t be the aim for Nuno.

The last time the sides played at the London Stadium, West Ham won in a game which gave Graham Potter his first win as Hammers boss.

Given West Ham’s home record against the Cottagers, it almost makes sense as to why the Hammers have been tipped as the favourites for this one.

West Ham have only lost once to Fulham at the London Stadium

West Ham have been dropping points, whereas their relegation rivals have been picking up momentum recently.

The London Stadium hasn’t seen many wins this season, but signs have been there to show that Nuno can get the job done.

The Hammers boast an 80 per cent winning ratio over Fulham on home turf, and it may be a goof omen that aids Nuno this time around.
