Command Analysis

West Ham United

Current form

Under the leadership of Julen Lopetegui and with a significantly updated squad, West Ham suffered a defeat at home to Aston Villa (1:2) in the first round of the Premier League. However, in the second round, the Hammers demonstrated their solid potential and beat Crystal Palace at their opponent’s arena with a score of 2:0 in the London derby.

AFC Bournemouth

Current form

Bournemouth are having a hard time entering the new season after their previous successes. True, they managed to avoid a failure at the start – draws with the same score of 1:1 with Nottingham Forest and Newcastle. It is noticeable that there is a lack of sharpness up front, there is no speed when switching to attack. It is obvious that without Solanke the Cherries are having a hard time. Let us note from last season that Iraola did not allow himself to field a completely reserve team in the League Cup, then, by the way, Bournemouth made it to the fourth round of the tournament, where they lost to Liverpool.

Tip and bets

TipWest Ham with a handicap (0)

1.61

In cup matches in England, the key moment is often the lineup of a particular team. It is difficult to predict this moment, but it is impossible not to pay attention to the fact that West Ham has significantly strengthened its lineup, there is a full reserve to play in several tournaments, especially since this year there will be no need to play in European cups. Clearly, the Hammers will be closer to victory on their home field today, especially since they have not lost to Bournemouth in their last four face-to-face matches.

Our prediction is a West Ham win with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 1.61

Will the prediction win?
