West Ham v Bournemouth result predicted by supercomputer
West Ham need to get back to winning ways this weekend, with a home encounter against Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth.
Graham Potter’s side fell to a disappointing 1-0 defeat away to Wolves last time out, extending their winless run to three following a draw against Everton and defeat to Newcastle.
Premier League safety is all but secured for the Irons, but the need for performances remains as strong as ever, with Potter still painting a picture in his head as to who and what he needs to improve in the summer.
Bournemouth are the opponents up next for the Hammers, in a game where they will need to show a much better account of themselves than they did against Wolves.
Potter needs a win against Bournemouth
Despite there certainly being an improvement defensively, concerns have emerged over Potter and his ability to get West Ham on the front foot in games.
The Irons have looked toothless in several of their encounters since his appointment, which has proven costly on more than one occasion, with their defeat to Wolves a good example.

| West Ham | 9 | 7 | 14 | 34 |
However, according to the latest Opta supercomputer prediction, that is unlikely to change this weekend with a draw forecasted for the clash at the London Stadium.
The Hammers have been awarded a 31.8 per cent chance of a win, while the Cherrries are slightly more likely to win with a 42.5 per cent chance.
A draw between the two sides is the most likely outcome, which would be the eighth time this season the Hammers have had to settle for a share of the points.
West Ham have little left to play for
It has been a poor season on all accounts for the Hammers, who, with eight games to go, are left playing for nothing side from their own pride.
That will need to change next season, though recruitment at West Ham will have a huge say as to whether or not that is possible.
As for now, the focus needs to be on building momentum and optimism ahead of the new campaign.
