16/12 Today’s Football Predictions: Bournemouth vs West Ham + 9 more tips

Betting Predictions

In Monday night’s Premier League match, Bournemouth hosts West Ham at the Vitality Stadium to put another nail in Julen Lopetegui’s coffin.

Both clubs won by a score of 2-1 in game 15, with West Ham defeating Wolverhampton Wanderers in ‘El Sackico’ and Andoni Iraola’s team rallying to deny Ipswich Town a valuable victory. 

Head-to-Head

Sunday’s visitors defeated Bournemouth 1-0 in the EFL Cup in August and won three and drew two of their previous five matches in all competitions. Last time out, the Cherries traveled to Portman Road and won their third straight game. West Ham defeated Wolves in their most recent home match, “El Sackio” because of the pressure both managers were under before kickoff.

Team News

During his pre-game news conference, Iraola disclosed two fresh Bournemouth injuries: Marcus Tavernier would be out for “some weeks” due to a hamstring issue, and defender Marcos Senesi is expected to miss three or four months due to thigh surgery.

Unal’s highly fortunate equalizing goal in the victory over Ipswich shouldn’t cause him to replace Evanilson at the top of the attack, but the latter’s absence should allow Portman Road hero Ouattara to start wide. Tyler Adams, who was rested for the trip to Ipswich, should be available again, but Alex Scott (knee), Luis Sinisterra (hamstring), and Julian Araujo (hamstring) will not be playing in this one either.

The news of West Ham striker Michail Antonio being involved in a terrible traffic accident last weekend overshadowed the Premier League action. However, the Jamaican managed to escape with only a fractured lower limb and is presently recuperating after surgery. Aaron Cresswell may make his 300th Premier League appearance for the Irons on Monday since Antonio is one of just two players who will not be playing for the visitors, along with the suspended Emerson Palmieri, who received his fifth yellow card of the season the previous game.

Additionally, Lopetegui disclosed that a few players had “some issues” but would not name them. The Hammers manager must also decide whether to stick with Carlos Soler or put Lucas Paqueta back into the lineup.

Odds by Betway

Probable Line-Up

Bournemouth XI:

Kepa; Smith, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Christie, Cook; Semenyo, Kluivert, Ouattara; Evanilson

West Ham XI:

Fabianski; Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Cresswell; Soucek, Alvarez; Kudus, Soler, Summerville; Bowen

Verdict

Tip Bournemouth to Win❌

Reason

When the two teams play on Monday night, Bournemouth’s poor recent record against West Ham should be inconsequential because the Cherries have already defeated a number of the big boys at the Vitality Stadium and possess the attacking ability to do the same to the Irons. However, since Bournemouth has scored nine of their 23 goals this season—including five in injury time—you shouldn’t be shocked if the match against the South Coast is decided by a last-minute goal.

Tip: Tavierner to Score❌

Reason

The home team should defeat West Ham, who have given up 28 goals to their 26.7 xG faced and are in fourth place in terms of Expected Goals Against. Marcus Tavernier, who has been without a goal despite playing well in their last three games, should be able to get back to his scoring ways as a result. Despite having 10 shots on goal and 4.1 xG, he has only scored once; therefore, choose the midfielder to score on Monday.
