West Ham vs Bournemouth Prediction & Betting Tips (1 February)

Candidate for European places, West Ham is currently 6th in the Premier League but is 5 points behind 5th place. The Hammers are difficult to maneuver and have not conceded any setbacks in the last 5 days, 3 wins and 2 draws. On the other hand, they remain with a disappointing result at the red lantern Sheffield United 2-2. Eliminated from the League Cup and the FA Cup, West Ham on the other hand won 1st place in their Europa League group and is waiting to know the identity of their opponent in the round of 16. Destined to fight not to go down this season , Bournemouth worried all its fans at the start of the championship before displaying a clear recovery in form.

This allows the Cherries to appear today in 12th place in the Premier League with 9 points ahead of the first relegation. After going 7 games without a setback, 6 wins and 1 draw, they suffered the law of the big names Tottenham 3-1 and Liverpool 0-4 during the last 2 days. Last weekend, Bournemouth had no trouble defeating Swansea in the round of 16 of the FA Cup 5-0.

For West Ham, executives Edson Alvarez and Paqueta must still take their turn this week. This is also the case for potentially starting striker Antonio while right back Coufal is suspended. The important Moroccan defender Aguerd is still affected by the CAN. However, this is no longer the case for Ghanaian striker Kudus (6 goals in the PL) who could play this Thursday. Striker Bowen (11 PL goals) plays a leading role for the Hammers this season. This winter, West Ham obtained the loan of England international Calvin Phillips (Manchester City). German defender Kehrer has, for his part, gone to Monaco.

Bournemouth's squad is reduced by the defections of potentially starting defenders Aarons and Smith, goalkeeper No. 2 Randolph and long-term absentees Adams and Fredericks. In addition, replacement winger Ouattara (Burkina Faso) is currently playing in the CAN. Eliminated with Ghana, winger Semenyo (3 goals in PL) returned to the Cherries last weekend, without coming into play. The essential Solanke (12 goals in PL) is available after scoring in the FA Cup. During the winter transfer window, replacements Traoré (Naples), Marcondes (Hibernian) and Rothwell (Southampton) left the club.
