Bournemouth are surprisingly winless in nine encounters with West Ham United, dating back to January 2019, albeit four of their last five clashes have ended all square.
Bournemouth vs West Ham preview
Can West Ham United continue their revival and climb out of the relegation zone? When the Hammers concluded November with successive defeats at the hands of Brentford and Leeds, thereby leaving them with just four points after nine games, they appeared destine for the drop. However, since then, Nuno Espírito Santo's side have enjoyed back-to-back victories at the London Stadium, breathing new life into their season.
First, they fought back from a goal down to defeat Newcastle 3-1, before goals from Callum Wilson, Tomáš Souček and then Kyle Walker-Peters were enough to overcome Burnley 3-2. Prior to this, the Hammers had not won any home game since February. West Ham do remain in the relegation zone, but there are signs of life under Nuno. Nevertheless, this is the start of a nightmarish sequence of fixtures, facing Liverpool (H), Man United (A), Brighton (A), Aston Villa (H) and then Man City (A) between now and Christmas. Thus, it is vital that the Irons leave Dorset with something on Saturday.
That though will not be easy, considering Bournemouth's ultra-impressive start to the campaign. While West Ham yielded just four points from their opening nine games, Andoni Iraola's side collected 18, putting together an eight match unbeaten streak after defeat at Anfield on the opening weekend.
However, the Cherries do actually come into this clash following back-to-back defeats. After a 3-1 reverse at Manchester City, Bournemouth put in their first very poor performance of the campaign last time out, demolished 4-0 by Aston Villa. The match was nowhere near as one-sided as the scoreline suggests, the two teams registering near-identical xG figures, but the fact that Antoine Semenyo saw a second half penalty saved underlined that nothing was going right at Villa Park. Back at Dean Court, Bournemouth will surely fancy their chances of beating West Ham.

Bournemouth team news
Tyler Adams did not go away with the USA last week, while both Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo featuring in their national team's first fixtures but not the second, sounding some alarm bells. Nevertheless, the trio are all forecast to be fit for this one.
Elsewhere, the returning Evanilson led the line against Aston Villa, thereby relegating free-scoring Eli Junior Kroupi to the bench. Lastly, both Álex Jiménez and Adams would sit out next weekend's trip to Sunderland if cautioned.
Bournemouth predicted lineup vs West Ham United: (4-2-3-1): Petrović, Smith, Milosavljević, Senesi, Truffert; Adams, Scott, Semenyo, Tavernier, Kluivert; Evanilson.
