Game Preview
West Ham United will clash with Bournemouth at The London Stadium in a highly anticipated Premier League fixture on Thursday.
The Hammers will enter this match following an unexpected 2-2 draw against Sheffield United in the Premier League. In said match, West Ham United held 42% of the possession and made 16 attempts at goal, with 5 of them being on target. Maxwel Cornet (28′) and James Ward-Prowse (79′) were the goal scorers for West Ham United. On the other hand, Sheffield United had 21 attempts at goal, with 6 of them being on target. Sheffield United’s goals were scored by Ben Brereton Díaz (44′) plus Oli McBurnie’s late game miracle (103′).
In 5 out of the last 6 matches played by West Ham United, there were less than 3 goals per game. During this period, the opposing teams scored a total of 4 goals, while West Ham United managed to score 7 goals.
Bournemouth enters the match following a convincing 5-0 victory against Swansea City in their previous FA Cup encounter. In the aforementioned match, Bournemouth dominated possession with 54% and unleashed a total of 19 shots towards the goal, with 5 of them finding their mark. The goal scorers for Bournemouth were Lloyd Kelly (7′), Alex Scott (10′), Luis Sinisterra (14′), David Brooks (35′), and Dominic Solanke (44′). Conversely, Swansea City managed 8 shots on goal, with only 2 of them being on target.
Bournemouth has recently become a dark horse in the Premier League, especially after Dominic Solanke’s massive improvement in 2024. Fans are eager to break their rough recent head to head record against West Ham, which showcases 2 consecutive defeats last season.
Overall, the Cherries are set to continue their upset run mainly thanks to a shaky West Ham defense. We expect Bournemouth to flourish on the counter and via set pieces this time around.
