Relegation-threatened West Ham United welcome Europe-chasing Bournemouth this weekend as the English Premier League enters Matchday 27. The Hammers come into the weekend sitting third from the bottom and three points from safety. Their visitors, on the other hand, are much higher up the table, in ninth place, five points from the European places. Read on to find our prediction of the match.
This is the second meeting of the season between these two. The first, hosted by the Cherries, saw the two teams share the spoils after a 2-2 draw. It was the fifth successive meeting in the EPL between the two that failed to produce a winner.
Another draw on Saturday is considered the least likely of results by bookmakers who fancy West Ham to win. The Hammers are unbeaten in 10 meetings with Bournemouth, who last won away to West Ham in 2018. Here’s our preview of the game.

West Ham - Bournemouth: Form Analysis
With 12 games left to play, West Ham have accumulated 24 points after managing just six wins and losing 14 times. Nuno Espirito Santo’s men are in a far better position to achieve survival than the other two teams below them. They must, however, not allow their recent upturn in fortunes to fade.
West Ham have been in strong form in 2026. They have managed five wins in nine outings across all competitions. The London-based club had managed just three wins in 20 games before the turn of the year. The Irons, who’ve lost just once in their last seven games, defeated Burton 1-0 in the FA Cup last weekend.
West Ham are unbeaten in 10 matches against Bournemouth.
Bournemouth arrive at the London Stadium unbeaten in five matches. They have won three times in this stretch. Andoni Iraola’s men were not in FA Cup action last weekend and have had almost two weeks to prepare. The Cherries will hope the ample time they have had sees them end a 10-game winless run against the Hammers.
Bournemouth, whose last win in this fixture came in 2019, have accumulated 37 points. They are tied with eighth-placed Everton and are just one point ahead of the 10th and 11th-placed sides. The South Coast club earned a hard-fought 2-1 win away to Everton last time out.

West Ham & Bournemouth Squad Analysis
West Ham will have Jean-Clair Todibo back after serving a three-match suspension. It is a big boost for the hosts, who have Pablo and Lukasz Fabianski out. Crysencio Summerville has been the key catalyst for West Ham’s resurgence.
In his form, the Hammers will be positive about making another big step forward. The attacker has scored six times in the last seven games and is now just two goals behind the leading club scorer, Jarrod Bowen.
West Ham United’s Freddie Potts is suspended for this match.
Bournemouth have had injuries to some key players, and for this trip, four are ruled out. Marcus Tavernier, who has netted five times in the league, continues to be sidelined with a thigh problem. Justin Kluivert is another crucial absentee as a result of a knee injury.
Long-term absentees Julio Soler and Ben Gannon-Doak are the others missing. In the absence of Kluivert and Tavernier, the Cherries have been boosted by new signing Rayan. The Brazilian forward, signed in midseason, has already netted twice in three matches. Evanilson and Junior Kroupi, who’ve scored a combined 13 league goals, are other options Bournemouth have in attack.
