AFC Bournemouth vs West Ham United Prediction: Cherries to pick up fourth straight win

A Bournemouth side high in confidence bid for a fourth successive victory when they host West Ham United on Monday night (20:00, live on Sky Sports Main Event) at the Vitality Stadium.

Read on for my AFC Bournemouth vs West Ham United predictions, featuring the odds and team news at time of publication.

AFC Bournemouth vs West Ham United Odds

Bournemouth are the 7/10 favourites, with the draw at 16/5 and a West Ham win at 18/5.

The South Coast club is aiming to beat the Hammers for the first time since January 2019, drawing three and losing four of their games against the Londoners since then.

Team News

Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi is out after undergoing thigh surgery, while Marcus Tavernier will also be unavailable with a hamstring problem.

They join Julian Araujo, Alex Scott and Luis Sinisterra on the sidelines for the hosts.

Michail Antonio is sidelined for West Ham, with the striker having emerged from a serious car accident with a broken leg.

Left-back Emerson Palmieri is suspended after picking up five yellow cards and could be replaced by Aaron Cresswell.

Bournemouth to win & both teams to score @ 15/8

Despite West Ham being something of a bogey team for Bournemouth in recent seasons, there is every reason for the hosts to be confident.

In a season in which Andoni Iraola’s side have enjoyed high-profile home victories over Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham, they are now showing some real consistency.

That is an element that West Ham have lacked under Julen Lopetegui, with each of their previous four victories in the Premier League being followed by a defeat.

The visitors do at least seem to be displaying some consistency in front of goal though, scoring in each of their last four games, while Bournemouth have conceded in six of their last seven matches.

Bournemouth 8+ shots on target @ 9/4

Much of Bournemouth’s success this season has been built upon their willingness to attack and create chances.

Only Manchester City have attempted more shots this season than the 241 fired in by Iraola’s men.

Some 79 of those efforts have been on target, which is the sixth highest amount in the Premier League.

With West Ham ranking fifth for the most shots conceded, the home side should keep the visiting goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski busy on Monday night.
