Bournemouth Team Overview
🔴 Last season was Bournemouth's most successful campaign in their Premier League history. Head coach Andoni Iraola, over two years, brought the club tantalizingly close to European competition spots-just two places and 9 points short, even though the team was in the top 7 from matchday 15 to 24. Of the two domestic cups, they found more success in the FA Cup, bowing out to Manchester City (1-2) in the quarterfinals. Their preseason went smoothly until a heavy defeat to Manchester United (1-4), having previously secured three consecutive victories with an aggregate score of 11-3.

West Ham United Team Overview
⚒ Graham Potter's winter appointment hasn't significantly improved West Ham's standing in the table, as they finished 14th overall. Not long ago, the London side clinched the UEFA Europa Conference League title in 2023, yet for the third consecutive season, they fail to climb above ninth place in the Premier League. Their domestic cup runs ended just a stage apart: the FA Cup at the Round of 64 and the EFL Cup at the Round of 32. In friendlies, positive results alternate with setbacks, including a loss to Manchester United between two victories.

Latest news
Bournemouth
📝 The heavy defeat by the "Red Devils" was largely due to the loss of key defenders: Milos Kerkez and Dean Huijsen, who were signed by Liverpool and Real Madrid for €59.5 million and €46.9 million, respectively. Additionally, the "Cherries" lost their main goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, whose loan spell came to an end. However, they have already addressed this by bringing in Djordje Petrovic from Chelsea for €28.9 million.
💸 Rumors suggest another defender, Ilya Zabarnyi, is close to leaving Bournemouth, with PSG having already agreed on a five-year contract with him. The clubs are still negotiating the transfer fee. The English club's recruitment department is responding to the situation by signing a 23-year-old defender from Rennes, Adrien Truffert, for €13.5 million as a positional replacement.
West Ham United
📝 The Hammers' management has been actively rejuvenating the squad this offseason. The club opted not to renew contracts with several veteran footballers: Aaron Cresswell (35), Lukasz Fabianski (40), Vladimir Coufal (32), Michail Antonio (35), Danny Ings (33), and Kurt Zouma (30). By lightening their wage bill, West Ham also profited from Mohammed Kudus' departure to Tottenham for €63.8 million. The funds were reinvested in Malik Diouf (€22 million from Slavia Prague) and Jean-Clair Todibo (€42 million from Nice).
⚡️ Transfer rumors continue to swirl around West Ham's key players. Manchester City have been pursuing winger Lucas Paqueta for several years now. This summer, betting allegations against him were dropped, making a transfer without reputational damage for the receiving club a strong possibility.

Editor's Prediction
Bookmakers slightly favor Bournemouth as the frontrunner. The stability in their coaching staff allows the Cherries to steadily progress. However, gaps in defense due to key players leaving the club could pose a challenge, as evidenced in the preseason: the team has managed just one clean sheet in four matches.
West Ham's friendly matches have been rather pragmatic; they lose narrowly and win by no more than two goals. In their last five head-to-head encounters, only once did one team claim victory-West Ham's narrow 1-0 win-while the other four ended in draws. We anticipate another likely draw this time, suggesting a scoreline of 1-1.
The Hammers' unbeaten streak in head-to-head clashes is also compelling-they haven't lost in nine consecutive matches. We believe a similar outcome is on the cards this time around: our bet is on West Ham not to lose.
