Bournemouth v West Ham Preview
Teams' Form
Form and Preseason So Far
Bournemouth
Bournemouth opened their preseason with a 2-1 win over Hibernian before kicking off their Summer Series with an impressive 3-0 victory over Everton at MetLife Stadium. They dominated possession with 60% and registered six shots on target, with Philip Billing, Dango Ouattara, and Daniel Adu-Adjei all getting on the scoresheet.
However, their momentum was halted in their next match, suffering a 4-1 defeat to Manchester United in Chicago. In that game, Bournemouth struggled in possession with just 44% and posted a modest 77% pass accuracy, managing only three shots on target. Their sole goal came via a Matthijs de Ligt own goal late in the game.
The Cherries finished 9th in the Premier League last season and will be aiming to push into the European places under Iraola.
West Ham
West Ham began their preseason with a 3-1 defeat to Grasshoppers before falling 2-1 to Manchester United in their opening Summer Series clash. Despite having 57% possession and an 86% pass accuracy rate, they only managed three shots on target.
Jarrod Bowen scored their lone goal, while Bruno Fernandes netted a brace for United. The Hammers bounced back with a 2-1 win over Everton, recovering from a first-half deficit with goals from Lucas Paqueta and Niclas Füllkrug. They were much improved in that match, recording five shots on target, 63% possession, and an 82% pass accuracy.
The Hammers finished 14th in the Premier League last season after a strong 2023/24 season where they finished 9th. This team will be disappointed with last season’s league struggles and feel that they have the quality in the squad to push for a top-half finish again this season.
