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.

AFC Bournemouth vs West Ham United Team News

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.

Likely Lineups

Bournemouth (Potential XI)

Petrovic; Smith, Milosavljevic, Senesi, Truffert; Scott, Adams; Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Evanilson.
Bench Options: Dennis, Cook, Brooks, Christie, Doak, Diakite, Jiménez Sánchez, Adli, Kroupi.

West Ham (Potential XI)

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.

AFC Bournemouth vs West Ham United Betting Tips

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:

• Bournemouth score freely at home and have been consistent with hitting multiple goals.
• West Ham concede regularly, especially away from home.
• Both teams feature attack-minded players who don’t tend to sit back.
• Over 2.5 goals has landed in most of their recent league games.

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.

AFC Bournemouth vs West Ham United Match Prediction

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.
