Bournemouth vs West Ham Tips
Bournemouth have won their last three matches in the Premier League and have claimed some big scalps in home games as Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham have all left the Vitality empty handed.
The Cherries are 3/4 to win the game with AK Bets, while West Ham, who beat Wolves in a key clash on Monday, are 18/5 with Betfred.
The Hammers recently won at Newcastle and were unfortunate to lose 3-1 at Leicester, so they look capable of finding the net.
Bournemouth Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
The Cherries are enjoying a successful season and they can be expected to go on the front foot against the Hammers after losing just three of their last 13 league home matches.
Midfielder Tyler Adams is expected to undergo a late fitness test before Monday’s game, but Marcos Senesi, Julian Araujo, Luis Sinisterra and Alex Scott will all be unavailable for the visit of Julen Lopetegui’s side.
Bournemouth Predicted XI: Arrizabalaga; Smith, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Christie, Cook; Tavernier, Kluivert, Semenyo; Evanilson.
West Ham Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
The Hammers have had a sticky start to life under manager Julen Lopetegui and the pressure eased on the Spanish gaffer on Monday when they beat struggling Wolves 2-1 at the London Stadium.
The club was rocked by the news that Michail Antonio suffered a broken leg in a car accident last weekend and it is not known when the striker will be back in action. Lopetegui will have to make a change at left-back as Emerson is suspended following five yellow cards.
West Ham Predicted XI: Fabianski; Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Cresswell; Alvarez, Soucek; Kudus, Soler, Summerville; Bowen.
Key Players to Watch in Bournemouth vs West Ham
Bournemouth midfielder Antoine Semenyo has had 58 goal attempts this term, and while he has not scored since the Cherries beat Manchester City 2-1 at the beginning of November, he has had at least four goal efforts in 10 of his 14 starts this season and looks a big price to take his tally to five for the campaign.
The West Ham goal threat could come from Jarrod Bowen, who was employed as a solo striker in Antonio’s absence against Wolves.
He will also be looking for his fifth goal of the campaign, after scoring the winner against Wolves on Monday.
Bournemouth vs West Ham Head-To-Head Statistics
West Ham have won nine of the 20 meetings and came out on top in their League Cup clash in August with a 1-0 victory at the London Stadium.
The Hammers are unbeaten in their last seven games against the Cherries and both of their Premier League meetings last season ended 1-1.
