West Ham United - AFC Bournemouth betting tips and odds

A quick look at the betting odds with some of the biggest bookmakers online is enough to tell you who the favourites are. Priced at 1.57, a home win seems the obvious choice. An upset is not quite impossible, mind you, which adds a small degree of risk but is ultimately food increasing profits.

Considering what they’re up against, AFC Bournemouth can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 6.50 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

When we talk about West Ham United’s previous Premier League result, it’s fair to say hosts can be pretty happy to have avoided a heavier defeat. They were the 7.70 underdogs last time out and a narrow Liverpool HT/FT loss is not something to scoff at.

AFC Bournemouth are coming on the back of a narrow home defeat to Southampton. The match could have gone either way, but the opposition displayed better form by grabbing an early lead and maintaining it until the 0:1 finish.

The home-pitch advantage appears to be quite important for The Hammers. Their last 3 fixtures at home were crowned by more than 5 goals in total.

Bournemouth have been known to be especially dangerous when playing as visitors. They’ve scored more than 5 times in their previous 3 away games and should be taken into account for those of you who’d like to make a goal-related bet.

West Ham could have certainly had a better start to the season, but there’s thankfully plenty of time to make it up. The first thing to do is move up from number 13th on the table by securing 3 points in this favourable matchup.

The Cherries’s only goal this early in the season is to put some more distance between them and the dreaded relegation zone. They’re currently number 12th in the standings, though, with some difficult matchups coming up.

Considering the teams’ respective records and histories, and Under 2.5 Goals bet here is a shoo-in. The returns are not exactly jaw-dropping, but that’s to be expected from a bet as safe as this one.
