Our Predictions
With odds of 3.10 for a West Ham win, there’s value here. Despite their struggles, they can turn the tide at home. Bournemouth’s away form is less convincing with inconsistency showing, making this a ripe opportunity for the Hammers.
At 1.62, the odds suggest this is likely. Both sides have shown they can find the net, plus the tension of the match might spur some goal action despite the defensive setups.
Given West Ham’s need to climb out of the danger zone and Bournemouth’s ability to hit back on the counter, over 2.5 goals at 1.73 seems solid. We might see a 2-1 or even a 2-2 thriller if both teams shake off the nerves.
