West Ham United take on the visitors Bournemouth at the London Stadium in the 2nd tour of the Premier League. The match will be played in London on Saturday, August 18th.
West Ham United have spent millions of pounds on the new signings before the start of the new season. First of all, the Hammers have appointed a new manager in the person of Manuel Pellegrini. Secondly, the team has signed multiple high class footballers. For example, Felipe Anderson from Lazio, Jack Wilshere from Arsenal, Issa Diop from Toulouse, Andriy Yarmolenko from Borussia Dortmund, Lukasz Fabianski from Swansea City.

Bournemouth have earned a reputation of a brisk team. However, they are also known to show good performances only in front of their home crowd. Last season the team won eleven matches in the Premier League and seven of them took place at their home field. In the first tour of the new season the Cherries beat Cardiff City exactly at their home field. Bournemouth have not changed their squad a lot this summer and the coach has remained the same. It is likely that the playing style of the Boscombe will also remain the same in the new season.
The squad of West Ham United and their manager are a lot more experienced and skilled than the squad and the manager of Bournemouth. Manuel Pellegrini should pick up with the local fans with a win in the upcoming fixture. He also needs to kind of apologize for the 0-4 loss to Liverpool in the first tour.
Prediction for the match: West Ham United to win.
