West Ham
Match Time & Date:

02:30 PM
Prediction: 0-1
Bournemouth
London Stadium will host Thursday’s Premier League game between West Ham United and Bournemouth. The Hammers suffered elimination in the FA Cup round 3 and, as a result, they will be fully focused on the national championship in the remainder of the season. Both Mohammed Kudus and Nayef Aguerd are on international duty, while Said Benrahma and Vladimir Coufal are banned for the match. As both Michail Antonio and Lucas Paqueta miss out with injuries, home win should not be considered.
The Cherries, on the other hand, are brimming with confidence following a thrilling 5-0 FA Cup win over Swansea City and given the number of absentees in the home team, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the in-form visitors. Dango Ouattara is representing Burkina Faso at the Africa Cup of Nations, while the likes of Adam Smith, Hamed Junior Traore, Darren Randolph, and Ryan Fredericks miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Tomas Soucek):
Tomas Soucek is a Czech Republic international who plays for both Slavia Prague and the Czech national team. Soucek is a product of Slavia Prague football academy and after spending several years at the likes of Viktoria Zizkov and Slovan Liberec, he returned to the Sinobo Stadium outfit in the 2017/2018 season.
Tomas Soucek has established himself as a first-team regular at Slavia Prague and he made his debut with Czech Republic on November 15, 2016 in a friendly against Denmark. The 192-cm tall midfielder has 13 caps for Czech Republic U21 team as well.
His main position on the field is defensive midfield, but he is used as central midfielder and centre-back as well. Tomas Soucek was born in Havlickuv Brod on February 27, 1995. His preferred foot is right and his contract with Slavia Prague should expire on June 30, 2024.
Highlighted Team (Bournemouth):
Bournemouth are a professional football club that was formed back in 1890. The Cherries secured promotion to the Premier League in the 2015/2016 season, with the team making it to the English top flight for the first time ever.
Bournemouth play their home games at Dean Court and the capacity of the stadium is 11,469.
The Cherries enjoyed a very successful season on their Premier League debut, with the team beating the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United in the national championship. Glenn Murray scored the winner for Bournemouth in the 1-0 win over the capital club at Stamford Bridge and that is probably the greatest victory in the club’s history.
Bournemouth have been participating in the FA Cup since 1913, but they have yet to win the trophy in the prestigious competition. It has to be noted that the club’s original name Boscombe Athletic Football Club was changed to Bournemouth back in 1923 as the club owners wanted the Cherries to be more representative of the district.
