Bournemouth vs West Ham United Match Prediction
The international break came at the perfect time for Bournemouth, who are having their first dip of the season after losing consecutive games at Manchester City and Aston Villa while conceding seven goals in the process.
You have to go back to May 2024 for the last time the Cherries lost three Premier League games on the bounce, but that doesn't look likely to happen given West Ham's away struggles.
But the Hammers make the trip down the South Coast with a spring in their step after consecutive home wins before the break moved them within goal difference of safety.
The Londoners have an excellent recent record against Bournemouth and are unbeaten in their last nine meetings in all competitions (W4 L5).
