Victoria West Ham – 2.09*
In this West Ham vs Bournemouth prediction, the home team will advance to the next round. Julen Lopetegui’s team has the chance to be in the third round again, so they will go out with all their strength to get the better of a rival that will not make it easy for them either. However, they have four games without losing against Bournemouth, with two wins and two draws in that period.
Total goals: over 1.5 goals – 1.22*
In this West Ham vs Bournemouth prediction there will be over 1.5 goals scored between the two teams. This achievement is one of the easiest to achieve because both teams have names that can create danger regardless of whether they create many chances or not. On the other hand, they have achieved this in 15 of the last 16 games between the two teams, so there should be no problem for them to do it again.
Jarrod Bowen Goal – 3.50*
In this West Ham vs Bournemouth prediction, Jarrod Bowen will be the key to the goal. The English winger is in great form, with a good goal in the last match of the Premier League. In addition, last season he managed to be the top scorer for the local team with 20 goals in 44 matches.
