Bournemouth vs. West Ham: Preview and betting tips

Czech national team players Vladimír Coufal and Tomáš Souček will play in Bournemouth on Sunday. Both teams have picked up in an otherwise poor season, what to expect from the confrontation of two relegation candidates and what to bet on?

Bournemouth have picked themselves up after a quality winter strengthening and have won four of the last six rounds. The improvement is also characterised by the fact that they have grabbed the previous four wins in 26 rounds. They are now 14th in the table, six points above relegation.

Even West Ham have come on in April, winning seven of the last four rounds, plus they have reached the Conference semi-finals. They are 15th in the table, two points clear of the relegation zone.

Bournemouth’s key figures

Philip Billing caught the eye in the home jersey, the Danish midfielder scored seven goals and assisted once. Ligue 1 winter signing Dango Ouattara has adapted quickly in the line-up and is on one goal and three assists.

West Ham’s key figures

Declan Rice is an indispensable part of the team, the midfielder and team captain has netted three goals and assisted four times. At the tip of the attack, Mikhail Antonio, scorer of ten goals and four assists, is finally scoring.

What to expect and what to bet on?

Bournemouth have really come on after the end of the winter transfer window, losing only four of their last ten games. It also has the third best attack in the second half of the table with 31 shots after Leicester and Leeds.

West Ham, on the other hand, cannot rely on defence, although it has long been its weapon. It has already conceded 41 goals. In the last five games, it has conceded an average of 1.8 goals.

Considering Bournemouth’s very good form, especially the Cherries’ offense, which downed Tottenham in the last round, and West Ham’s busy schedule, I think the home side won’t lose.
