Bournemouth
In their last match, Bournemouth suffered a narrow 1-2 defeat against Tottenham. This result extended their winless streak to three matches in the Premier League (1 draw, 2 losses).

West Ham
West Ham comes into this match after a convincing 3-0 victory over Leicester City. This win marked their third consecutive victory in the Premier League. The team is currently in the top half of the table and is aiming for a European spot. However, their away form has been less impressive, with only one win in their last five away matches.

Bournemouth vs. West Ham: Match Prediction
Bournemouth has shown resilience at home, managing to score consistently, but they have struggled to secure wins. West Ham, on the other hand, has been strong at home but less effective on the road. Considering both teams' current form and statistics, I expect a closely contested match with limited goals. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
