ℹ️ Team News: Bournemouth

It seems likely that The Cherries could go for a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one, utilising Djordje Petrovic, Adam Smith, Bafode Diakite, Marcos Senesi, Adrien Truffert, Alex Scott, Tyler Adams, David Brooks, Marcus Tavernier, Antoine Semenyo and Evanilson.

🗞️ Team News: West Ham United

West Ham United boss Nuno Espírito Santo has to choose a team with limited availability. Lukasz Fabianski (Back injury) and Oliver Scarles (Broken collarbone) miss out here.

We are inclined to think that The Hammers could decide to play in a 4-3-3 formation using Alphonse Areola, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Max Kilman, Jean-Clair Todibo, Malick Diouf, Mateus Fernandes, Soungoutou Magassa, Tomas Soucek, Jarrod Bowen, Callum Wilson and C. Summerville.

✨ Prediction

We believe that West Ham United should get enough chances to find the back of the net against this Bournemouth lineup, but that probably won’t be as many as they’ll concede.

Our selection here is for a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning score for Bournemouth by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. Let’s see what happens here.
