Bournemouth vs West Ham Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The Hammers are languishing in the relegation zone.

Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth gears up to host the Matchweek 12 fixture of the English Premier League, where former UEFA Conference League champions West Ham take on AFC Bournemouth.

Bournemouth are ninth in the points table, and a win could even take them to the top three, if results elsewhere stay in their favour. They are led by Spanish gaffer Andoni Iraola, who has previously managed teams like Rayo Vallecano and AEK Larnaca before taking on the reins of Bournemouth. They are coming after a 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa.

West Ham, who won the UEFA Conference League a few years ago, are now on the verge of being relegated. So far, they have managed to win just three games out of eleven and are placed 18th. Former Nottingham Forest gaffer Nuno Espirito Santo took over the reins mid-season, hoping to turn around the fortunes of the London-based outfit.

Players to Watch

Marcos Senesi (Bournemouth)

The Argentine centre back has been a towering presence in the back for Bournemouth. He has even contributed two assists so far. After a humiliating defeat in the last game, Senesi will be keen to clinch a clean sheet in the next match against West Ham.

Jarrod Bowen (West Ham)

The English winger must unleash his beast in the next game to propel West Ham out of the relegation zone. He has played for Hull City before joining the London-based outfit five years ago. Despite West Ham’s disappointing campaign, Bowen has managed to score three times in 11 games.
