West Ham will be chasing a fifth straight home win when entertaining Bournemouth in Monday’s night Premier League clash.
The Cherries are doing better than most pundits predicted this term, lying four places and a couple of points above the Hammers in 13th in the table.
However, they are still odds-on to be relegated and 29/20 for a home win to nil is our first West Ham vs Bournemouth prediction.
West Ham United Odds
West Ham were left kicking themselves after going down 1-0 at Liverpool in midweek, a result which ended their five-match unbeaten run.
The Reds deservedly led through Darwin Nunez and created several other good chances, but the Hammers had a chance to snatch a draw from the penalty spot.
Unfortunately, Alisson pulled off a fine save to deny Jarrod Bowen and United suffered a sixth defeat from 11 top-flight fixtures this term.
Gianluca Scamacca also went close five minutes from time and David Moyes moaned: “I’m disappointed at the end we didn’t go away with something, we had a big opportunity to do so.
“We didn’t set up quite right in the first half, but we still had a threat and had chances and then got much better in the second.”
West Ham have enjoyed two top-seven finishes and reached a Europa League semi-final under Moyes, so they should soon be climbing up the table.
This is a good chance to start that process and 25/4 for a 2-0 success takes the eye from the West Ham vs Bournemouth odds.
Last West Ham line-up: Fabianski, Johnson, Cresswell, Zouma, Kehrer, Fornals, Downes, Soucek, Rice, Scamacca, Bowen.
Maxwel Cornet (calf) and Craig Dawson (thigh) have an outside chance of featuring. The Hammers are hoping midfielder Lucas Paqueta (shoulder) will be available soon, along with defender Nayef Aguerd (ankle).
Bournemouth Odds
Bournemouth were also beaten 1-0 on Wednesday night, losing out to Southampton at Vitality Stadium via an early Che Adams header.
That was a maiden defeat in seven outings under interim manager Gary O’Neil and saw Saints keep their first clean sheet in 17 Premier League games.
O’Neil felt the result was harsh and was left perplexed after appeals for a second-half penalty were waved away when the ball struck the arm of defender Mohammed Salisu.
He declared: “Did we deserve to lose this one? No, we didn’t. But we did.”
The Cherries have shown plenty of spirit of late, but O’Neil has been helped by a kind fixture list, with Newcastle (sixth) and Brentford (ninth) his only top-half opponents.
West Ham would usually be in that region and are fancied to prove just too strong at London Stadium.
Bowen will be keen to make amends for his Anfield penalty miss and 21/10 for him to score in a home win completes our West Ham vs Bournemouth betting tips.
All five of his goals this term have come at this venue and United have prevailed every time!
Last Bournemouth line-up: Neto, Fredericks, Mepham, Smith, Senesi, Cook, Lerma, Christie, Tavernier, Billing, Solanke.
Lloyd Kelly (ankle) and David Brooks (hamstring) remain unfit for service, while Siriki Dembele and Joe Rothwell, who both made their Premier League debuts on Wednesday, could see more playing time.
