Match Preview
It has been a reliable season to this point for West Ham, as they remain in the hunt for a European stage as we come into the second half of the campaign. The Hammers have gone five without defeat in the Premier League, but they have been held to draws in each of their previous two matches in the competition. Still, a victory this week could see them end the round just two points off the top five positions.
Bournemouth have responded excellently after making a slow start to the campaign, winning seven of their last 15 matches in the Premier League. The Cherries could move to within a couple of points of the top half of the standings if they are able to collect maximum points at the London Stadium this week. But, they have lost their last two in the English top flight.

West Ham boast an excellent recent record in this fixture after winning three of their last four against the Cherries. But, Bournemouth have avoided defeat in their last three visits to West Ham in which they have found the back of the net. But, they have failed to score on each of their last two trips to the London Stadium.
West Ham come into this match in solid form after going five without a defeat. That is their best unbeaten sequence in the league since January 2021. But, they will be looking to avoid drawing three straight matches for the first time since April 2017. Interestingly, they haven’t conceded in their last three matches at the London Stadium.
West Ham vs Bournemouth Prediction
Bournemouth could easily bounce back to form after suffering defeats against Tottenham and Liverpool in their last two. However, there could be more confidence in the Hammers landing a home win to extend their unbeaten sequence in the Premier League.
