At Vitality Stadium on 22 November 2025, Bournemouth host West Ham in a Premier League fixture that promises tempo, intensity, and attacking intent from both sides. With each team showing clear strengths going forward but continuing to suffer from defensive inconsistency, this matchup sets up naturally for goals at both ends.
Bournemouth Solid at Home But Far From Error-Free
Bournemouth have built much of their stability this season on their home performances, where their attacking play tends to be more fluid and direct. They create chances regularly and are rarely subdued for long stretches in front of their own supporters. However, defensive lapses remain a recurring theme - especially when facing teams with physical forwards and quick transitions. That combination almost always opens up opportunities for both scoring and conceding.
West Ham Dangerous Going Forward
West Ham arrive with their well-known ability to threaten any defence. Whether through structured build-up or sudden breaks, they tend to create clear chances in nearly every match. Their main issue lies in defensive vulnerability, particularly away from home, where they frequently leave too much space between the lines. Matches involving West Ham often feature swings in momentum - stretches of pressure followed by lapses.
Prediction: BTTS – Yes
Both teams possess enough firepower to score, and both carry defensive issues that regularly cost them goals. With Bournemouth strong at home and West Ham consistently dangerous in attack, the matchup strongly points toward chances on both sides.
The selection is Both Teams to Score – Yes.
