West Ham Form
AFC Bournemouth welcome West Ham United to the Vitality Stadium on 22/11/2025, with kick-off set for 3pm. It’s a matchup that already feels lively on paper, and if recent form is anything to go by, you should expect goals and plenty of momentum swings. So, here’s your full AFC Bournemouth vs West Ham United prediction and match breakdown, written like we’re chatting football over a pint.
Bournemouth head into this one in good spirits. They’ve picked up five wins from their 11 Premier League outings and have been especially strong at home, winning four of their last five at the Vitality. Scoring goals hasn’t been a problem either. They’ve hit at least two goals in six league matches and have seen five of their last six outings land over 2.5 goals. The only concern? Clean sheets. They’ve only managed four in the league so far, which is something West Ham will want to exploit.
West Ham, meanwhile, arrive with a mixed bag of form. They’ve already suffered seven league defeats and have struggled on their travels, losing three of five away matches. Even though they come off two morale-boosting home wins, their defence has been leaking goals — at least two conceded in four of their last five Premier League matches. Like Bournemouth, their games haven’t been short on action, with over 2.5 goals landing in eight of their 11 outings.
Both sides seem well-stocked based on the provided squads and lineups — no injury notes were included, so we’ll stick strictly to what you gave me.
Petrovic; Smith, Milosavljevic, Senesi, Truffert; Scott, Adams; Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Evanilson.
Bench Options: Dennis, Cook, Brooks, Christie, Doak, Diakite, Jiménez Sánchez, Adli, Kroupi.
Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Kilman, Todibo, Diouf; Fernandes, Potts; Paqueta, Bowen, Wilson, Summerville.
Bench Options: Hermansen, Walker-Peters, Julio, Lira dos Santos, Rodríguez, Magassa, Soucek, Irving, Golambeckis.
You’re probably looking at this game and thinking: goals. And honestly, based on what these sides have produced so far, it’s hard to argue against that angle.
Here’s what jumps out:
So, if you’re leaning toward goal-based angles, you’re definitely thinking along the right lines.
Because Bournemouth rarely keep clean sheets and West Ham usually find a way to score, a both-teams-to-score angle also makes sense within the context of the data.
Here’s what I think…
Bournemouth’s home form feels like the biggest swing factor. They’ve been sharp in front of goal and seem comfortable playing on the front foot. West Ham, under Nuno Espírito Santo, are capable of showing fight, but the defensive numbers you shared don’t inspire much confidence for them on the road.
So the expectation is a tight, entertaining match — the kind that never really settles. Bournemouth’s edge at home, plus their consistent scoring record, gives them the slight upper hand.
Match Prediction: Bournemouth to win. Bet with bet365.
If you’re looking for a scoreline that matches the flow of the numbers, one stands out clearly:
Bournemouth 2–1 West Ham United.
It gives Bournemouth the win you’d expect from their home form, keeps West Ham competitive, and fits perfectly with the goal trends from both sides.
Correct Score Prediction: Bournemouth 2–1 West Ham United. Bet with bet365.
So, the most natural angle here is:
Lean toward Over 2.5 Goals.
Under 2.5 would feel like going against the grain — not impossible, but certainly less aligned with everything we’ve seen.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
Here’s a simple, yet likely bet builder:
This reflects both teams’ scoring habits and Bournemouth’s strong home form.
Bet Builder Tip: Bournemouth double chance, both teams to score, and Semenyo to score anytime. Bet with bet365.
