Battling for Survival
Key Stats
– West Ham’s defense has kept clean sheets in just two of their 14 away matches this season.
– Bournemouth’s Adam Smith has received nine yellow cards in the Premier League this season.
AFC Bournemouth and West Ham United will clash at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday in a match that could be vital for both teams’ Premier League survival aspirations. The Cherries’ are coming off an impressive and unexpected 3-2 away win against Tottenham, and thanks to that result, they have significantly boosted their chances of staying in the Premier League.

They are currently sitting in 14th place, with a six-point cushion over the relegation zone. They will be keen to follow up with a positive result on their home ground, which should further consolidate their position against fellow relegation battlers West Ham.
West Ham’s Recent Form
The Hammers have also eased their own relegation fears, having been able to pick up four points from their last six available. Last weekend, they showcased some great character by holding league leaders Arsenal to a 2-2 draw. In midweek, they also secured their place in the Europa League Conference League semi-finals thanks to a convincing 4-1 win over KAA Gent.
AFC Bournemouth vs West Ham United Main Betting Tip: Draw
Everything points towards a rather balanced affair. Both these sides have had issues this season, but they are currently in a positive mood after the recent results, and the priority for both managers would be to avoid a defeat in this crucial relegation ‘six pointer.”
AFC Bournemouth vs West Ham United Value Bet: Bournemouth To Score In Both Halves
Even if we expect a balanced affair, goals are likely to be on the cards, as both sides have been pretty effective when it comes to scoring goals but also very leaky when it comes to defending goals. The Cherries’ have scored eight goals in their last ten Premier League matches and have done so even against top teams like Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham.
A key problem for David Moyes this season has been the fragility of the defence, and the Hammers are heading south with only two clean sheets in their last 14 away matches this season. In a match where we expect both teams to score, it makes sense to back Bournemouth to score in both halves at the enhanced price of 4/1 (was 17/5) with William Hill.
Bournemouth’s recent form, featuring eight goals in their last ten Premier League matches, is due in part to some astute January signings. They have scored against Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham, and should be confident of breaching West Ham’s fragile defence.
AFC Bournemouth vs West Ham United Correct Score Prediction: 2-2 Draw
There isn’t too much to separate these two teams, which are effective when it comes to going forward but also concede far too many goals. An high-scoring draw looks like a decent bet in the correct score market, and my pick is for a thrilling 2-2 affair, which has very interesting odds.
