Our expert has assessed the betting markets ahead of this Premier League encounter.
Correct Score Prediction
The first of our predictions for Bournemouth vs West Ham is for the visitors to secure the victory in a tight match. The Cherries could be in for a good season but the Hammers have a good record against them.
Correct score prediction: West Ham to win 2-1.
1×2 Predictions
The odds suggest the bookmakers are having a hard time picking a favourite and it’s easy to see why. However, I’m predicting West Ham to come away with all three points.
The Hammers struggles in the league last season but they managed to beat The Cherries on both occasions they met. David Moyes’ team won those matches 4-0 and 2-0. The last meeting at this ground was the one in which they scored four and it came towards the end of April.
Bournemouth lost nine of their 19 home matches last season and lost four of their last five.
West Ham are 8/11 to win on the 1×2 market with Bet9ja.
Draw No Bet Predictions
These teams are very evenly split with the bookmakers so drawn no bet provides similar value each way. West Ham are 5/6 draw no bet so we get the added security of our money back should the match end in a draw.
BTTS Predictions
West Ham’s pre-season matches have seen a glut of goals. They have lost Declan Rice who played a pivotal role in breaking up opposition attacks.
The Hammers are in the market for several players but they have been unable to get those deals over the line in time for the opening day so the next of our tips is for both teams to score.
Moyes has an abundance of attacking options at his disposal. The likes of Ings, Benrahma and Bowen have the quality to get at Bournemouth. West Ham have scored 1.4 goals per game in their last 10 competitive matches but they have also conceded 1.6 per game.
GG (both teams to score) is 4/6 on Bet9ja.
Our Analysis of the Bournemouth vs West Ham Match
Bournemouth raised a few eyebrows by sacking Gary O’Neil. He steered them to safety when many condemned them to relegation just as the season began. They have now appointed Andonia Iraola from Rayo Vallecano.
He performed exceptionally well at his previous club but it will take time to implement his style at his new club.
The Cherries have had a mixed pre-season. They beat Lorient in their last match but have suffered defeats against Maccabi Tel-Aviv and Atalanta. Iraola favours a high-pressing style as Bournemouth follows suit in a trend that is sweeping the Premier League.
West Ham have willing runners in behind and they won’t be afraid to go long in order to evade the opposition’s press. There will be spaces for them to exploit and I can see them having success on Saturday.
Top Scorers Predictions for Bournemouth vs West Ham
The next of our tips for Bournemouth vs West Ham is for Danny Ings to score.
Danny Ings was once one of the most formidable strikers in the league at Southampton. He is a great physical presence and he has the nous to attack the space.
Ings has the quality to take advantage of a Bournemouth defence still adjusting to their new system and is 9/4 to score on Bet9ja.
West Ham to earn a narrow victory
West Ham won the Europa Conference League last season. The triumph lifted their squad and fanbase in what was an otherwise poor season for the club. They have lost Declan Rice this summer but are committed to rebuilding the squad under Moyes.
They had established themselves in the upper echelons of the league prior to last season and I’m banking on them making a faster start this term.
