Bournemouth take on West Ham United on Saturday in the Premier League, and HITC pundits give their predictions on the likely outcome.
Bournemouth 1-3 West Ham United
Can Bournemouth build on their draw at Old Trafford? Eddie Howe’s side need a win but it might not be so simple against West Ham. Bournemouth have struggled to keep clean sheets all season and I certainly don’t see them keeping one here.

The Cherries simply must build on their impressive draw against Manchester United. Fortunately, West Ham lacked attacking guile against Chelsea so Bournemouth’s creaky defence should have an easier ride.

Bournemouth 2-2 West Ham United
Bournemouth will take a lot of confidence from their point away at Old Trafford, but they still haven’t won a game in 2017. The current bottom three look poor, but the Cherries need to keep picking up points here and there, and they’d probably be happy with a draw against West Ham. The Hammers themselves are now three games without a win and will be looking to put an end to that record.
Bournemouth 2-2 West Ham United
Bournemouth will have taken a lot of confidence from their 1-1 draw against Manchester United last weekend and that should feed into this clash. West Ham were unlucky to lose to Chelsea on Monday evening but may have to make do with a point against the Cherries.
Bournemouth 1-1 West Ham United
The Cherries will be desperate to build on their hard fought point at Old Trafford, after a dreadful recent run that leaves them with no wins in 2017. I think they’ll secure a point against a West Ham side who are themselves winless in three, though Andy Carroll could make a difference if he performs for the Hammers.
Bournemouth’s Harry Arter
Bournemouth 1-2 West Ham United
It’s three months since Bournemouth last won a home league game, while West Ham have won three of their last five on the road. I’m expecting Slaven Bilic’s side to bounce back on the south coast.
