Match Preview

15^th meets 16^th in our Premier League West Ham vs Bournemouth preview today as David Moyes Hammers gear up to face a Cherries side who have been making improvements in recent weeks. With relegation a very real threat for both clubs this season, every point won is extremely valuable.

Under the stewardship of former Man Utd and Everton boss David Moyes, the Hammers are certainly more organised. The Irons have only lost two of their last nine games and are in the midst of a four-game unbeaten run. Even though three of those fixtures ended level, Moyes has met his first remit as West Ham boss, in that he has made his team hard to beat. With just one win away from home this season, the Hammers rely heavily on their performances at the London Stadium for points.

Bournemouth are also unbeaten in four and coincidentally, they have drawn three of their last four contests too. However, if we delve a little deeper, we can immediately see that Eddie Howe’s troops have won just one game in their last twelve. That miserable run included a sequence of four defeats on the spin in mid to late December, though, in recent weeks, the ship has been steadied somewhat.

West Ham vs Bournemouth Prediction and Betting Advice

The clubs examined in our free West Ham vs Bournemouth bets have been drawing plenty of parallels lately in terms of recent performances and results. As we detailed earlier, the teams have drawn three of their last four fixtures each. One of those ties was, of course, the reverse league fixture between the sides in December.

At Dean Court that afternoon, the clubs shared the spoils after a hugely entertaining end to end battle that eventually finished 3-3. The to and fro nature of that contest suggests that we are talking about two very well matched teams, as does their side by side league table positions.

The Hammers and the Cherries have won five EPL matches each this season and a buffer of one point separates them in the standings. That further emphasises that the teams have plenty of similarities and qualities and there is every chance they could cancel each other out again next week. Bet-at-home’s outright latest Premier League football odds offer the best value around and our advice is to take advantage of their great offers.

While both of these sides have probably been exciting to watch this season for all the wrong reasons, it’s the Cherries in particular of late who have had fans on the edge of their seats. In their seven games prior to our West Ham vs Bournemouth predictions, there have been over 2.5 goals registered.

In fact, there were twenty-eight goals in total fired home across those seven matches, which is an incredible average of four goals per ninety-minute spell. Furthermore, Howe’s goalkeeper Asmir Begovic hasn’t kept a clean sheet since November, that’s a full eleven appearances in a row where he has picked the ball out of the net at least once.

As we explained above, the sides’ previous meeting this season produced six goals, while their encounter before that produced five. Goals are almost a guarantee with the ticket when these two face off, making an over 2.5 forecast a sound way to close our English football predictions for today. As always, Unibet ranked as one of the best bookmakers for lucrative goal market odds, so we recommend having a look at their prices.
