Bournemouth vs West Ham Prediction – Premier League Prediction & Betting Tips 16/12/2024
Bournemouth vs West Ham Premier League Prediction Match Details
The final match of the exciting Premier League Matchday 16 round will see high-flying Bournemouth welcome West Ham United to the Vitality Stadium on Monday night. Will the Cherries mount more pressure on Julen Lopetegui?
Bournemouth Preview & Form
Bournemouth are flying high under the guidance of Spanish tactician Andoni Iraola as the Cherries are now dreaming of qualifying for European football next season, having delivered some remarkable results, and are just three points adrift of the top four. They are currently on a three-match winning streak, and they will be hoping to build on it against struggling Hammers. Their three straight victories started with a 4-2 win over Wolves, a 1-0 win over Tottenham, and a 2-1 win over Ipswich at the weekend. The Cherries are currently eighth in the Premier League standings with 24 points, and a victory in this match could take them to the top six.
The Cherries are in brilliant form when playing on their home soil this season, as they have won four of their last five home games, including beating Arsenal, Manchester City, and Tottenham at Vitality Stadium. Andoni Iraola’s men score nine goals in their last five home games while conceding only four goals.
Manchester United Preview & Form
West Ham United are still under pressure after a less than convincing start to the new season despite making some huge summer transfers. The Hammers have only won two matches in their last seven Premier League matches, resulting in the pressure on their head coach to start producing results. A 2-1 win over the Wolves on their home soil last Monday night helped relieve the pressure. The Hammers currently sit 14th in the Premier League standings with 18 points from 15 matches, six points clear of the relegation spots.
One major issue for Julen Lopetegui’s men this season has been playing away games, having recorded only one win from their last six away games. During the period, their defense looks vulnerable, having conceded 12 goals while scoring six goals.
