Bournemouth vs West Ham Prediction and Lineups: Cherries backed to continue fine form
Bournemouth and West Ham wrap up the Premier League action tonight when they face off at the Vitality Stadium, live on Sky Sports at 8pm.
Hosts Bournemouth are enjoying a three-game winning streak and look in a great position to extend their winning run against an inconsistent Hammers side.
Read on for our best bets on the south coast.
Bournemouth vs West Ham Prediction
For my first pick, I'm siding with Evanilson to have Over 1.5 Shots On Target at 31/20 with BetMGM.
The Bournemouth striker, who has three goals in his last seven games, has been in solid form this season, registering 32 shots, 15 of which have hit the target. He’s managed at least two shots on target in four of his last six games, including each of his last three home appearances.
Evanilson's dynamism and versatility should pose problems for an inconsistent West Ham side that have struggled defensively this season. The Hammers have conceded 3+ goals in three of their last four away matches and have let in goals in 14 of their last 16 on the road.

For example, a £10 bet on Antoine Semenyo to score first at 6/1 would see returns of £70, plus £40 free bets regardless of the outcome of the bet.
Bournemouth are the strong favourites at 4/6 to secure their eighth win of the season tonight. The Cherries have won their last three matches in a row and will be highly motivated to draw level with Manchester City on 27 points with a victory over West Ham. In fact, if they win by three or more goals, they’ll leapfrog Pep Guardiola's side into 5th place.
While Bournemouth certainly look like the smart pick to beat a struggling West Ham team with a manager under significant pressure, I see extra value in backing Bournemouth to win and both teams to score at 33/20.
Bournemouth have scored and conceded in six of their last seven matches, while their opponents have scored in five of their seven wins this term. The "both teams to score" bet has landed in each of West Ham's last three games and 10 of their last 14 across all competitions. With captain Jarrod Bowen in decent form and Mohammed Kudus back from suspension, the Hammers have the potential to get on the scoresheet.
Bournemouth vs West Ham Lineups
Marcos Senesi and Marcus Tavernier are both out for Bournemouth, with Dango Ouattara starting for the hosts.
Emerson Palmieri is suspended for West Ham and has been replaced by Vladimir Coufal, while Lucas Paqueta has come in for Crysencio Summerville.
