Bournemouth will be looking to continue their good form when they host West Ham United at the Vitality Stadium on Tuesday. The Cherries have lost just one of their last eight Premier League matches, but the Hammers are also in a good streak of their own: unbeaten in their last eight matches. The reverse fixture was a spectacular one as Bournemouth stunned West Ham at Upton Park with a 4-3 victory.
Bournemouth are currently 16th in the Premier League table, four points above the drop zone, after a good run of three wins, four draws and just one loss. They have also strengthened their squad already with forward Juan Iturbe on a six-month loan from Roma and Benik Afobe from Wolves in a permanent deal. Afobe could make his debut on Tuesday, while Simon Francis will be available again after suspension.
West Ham had quite a few great results this campaign, including away wins over Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool and Cystal Palace. They are on a three-game winning streak after last weekend's 1-0 FA Cup success over Wolves. Last week they beat Liverpool 2-0, with Andy Carroll and Michail Antonio on the score sheet. Dimitri Payer is ready to make his return after being out injured since November.
Probable line-ups:
Bournemouth: Boruc - Smith, Distin, Cook, Daniels - Surman - Ritchie, Gosling, Arter, Stanislas - Murray
West Ham: Adrian - Jenkinson, Ogbonna, Collins, Cresswell - Antonio, Kouyate, Noble, Payet - Carroll, Valencia
My prediction: 2-2 draw.
Here are the odds for the match at Bet365:
Bournemouth win - 2.10 Draw - 3.60 West Ham win - 3.70

West Ham good run this season continue in that game too and this one was another great result for them, they've had managed to score 3 unanswered after loosing 1-0 and this makes the end result even more impressive.

This will be a match with small number of goals I believe, and I could assume that final score easily will be 0:0. This is kind of match in which attackers will not have a lot of chances, because both of teams will focus themselves to defense. Of course it's possible to get a goal here, but I will make my bet on correct...
