Form & Momentum
West Ham: Winless in 3, just 2 wins from their last 8. Home record poor – 5 wins in 15, 8 losses.

Bournemouth: 5-game winless streak, but more competitive on the road. They've scored in 11 straight away games and average 2.0 goals per away match, the most in their PL history.

→ Edge: Bournemouth, despite their slump. They’re at least scoring away, while West Ham have failed to score in 6 home games this season.

Head-to-Head

Bournemouth have seen over 2.5 in 4 straight.

Expected goals per match: 3.34 (WHU home: 3.07, BOU away: 3.60)

→ Contradicting trends. West Ham matches are drying up, but Bournemouth’s are opening up. The deciding factor? Bournemouth score late (35% of goals after 75’) and West Ham concede in those same windows.

West Ham BTTS at home: 53%

Bournemouth BTTS away: 80%

Overall BTTS average: 66.5%

→ Strong case for BTTS – Yes.

West Ham home games see 9.5 corners on average.

→ Lean Over 8.5 or 9.5 corners.

Player Watch
Kluivert (if fit) – involved in 14 goals in 14 away games this season. If he plays, consider him for goal/assist props.

Bowen – West Ham’s best attacker by rating (7.06), but team around him isn’t creating enough.

Prediction
West Ham are inefficient, predictable, and lacking confidence. Bournemouth have issues too, but they’re more dynamic and dangerous in transition. Despite not winning in five, they’re scoring away and creating more chances.

Scoreline lean: West Ham 1-2 Bournemouth

Best Bets
✅ Bournemouth Draw No Bet – Safer than ML. West Ham's only edge is history.

✅ BTTS – Yes – Historical trend + Bournemouth’s attack

✅ Over 9.5 Corners – Strong statistical backing

⚠️ Over 2.5 Goals – Value exists, but West Ham are inconsistent in attack
