West Ham vs Bournemouth form
After a difficult and challenging start, manager Nuno Santo seems to have finally found the remedy to help West Ham improve. In their last five matches, The Hammers have won three, drawn one, and lost only one. This is a truly commendable run of results, especially considering that in their previous 21 games, the London team had only managed three wins.
Moreover, the opponents Jarrod Bowen and his teammates have recently faced have been formidable. They won 2-1 away at Tottenham, beat newly promoted Sunderland 3-1, suffered a heartbreaking 2-3 defeat to Chelsea after leading by two goals, and overcame direct rivals Burnley 2-0 away from home, becoming the first team to break Manchester United's winning streak under new manager Michael Carrick.
The significantly improved performance has brought increasingly brighter hopes of avoiding relegation for the Hammers. Before round 27, the London-based team remained in 18th place but were only 3 points behind Nottingham, who were just above them in the table.
Facing Bournemouth, Santo's team's objective will undoubtedly be to secure three points. With just over 10 rounds remaining in the 2025/26 Premier League season, West Ham needs to accelerate quickly to move ahead before it's too late.
In their last five home matches against Bournemouth, the home team has remained unbeaten, with three wins and two draws. However, five out of the last six encounters between the two sides ended in a draw. A similar scenario is entirely possible in the upcoming 90 minutes, as Bournemouth is currently displaying an impressive form.
Since their 2-3 defeat at the hands of Arsenal in the opening match of the new year, Andoni Iraola's team has rediscovered their winning form, after a run of 11 consecutive rounds of draws and losses.
The 3-2 victory over Tottenham opened the door to a six-match unbeaten run for The Cherries (four wins, two draws). Having ended their poor run and rediscovered their form, the visitors have returned to the top half of the table.
With 37 points in hand, Bournemouth are virtually free from the threat of relegation, a threat that had haunted them for over a month. In fact, their chances of qualifying for European competition remain very bright, as they are only 5 points behind sixth-placed Liverpool.
Ahead of their trip to London this weekend, Bournemouth are on a five-match unbeaten run away from home (in regular time only). In those last two away games, Evanilson and his teammates emerged victorious.
