Since West Ham returned from the Championship in 2012, there have always been a mid-table team. That shouldn't change in the 2024/25 season, either. West Ham started the current season poorly with a 2-1 defeat at home against Aston Villa, but last weekend, Julen Lopetegui's team secured its first three points in the London derby against Crystal Palace. The teams were pretty even, and the points could go either way, but West Ham was fortunate to pick up their first victory.
Bournemouth belongs to the bottom half of the table, and the fans and the board would probably accept everything except relegation. The team from Dorset started the season with two draws, first in Nottingham and last weekend at the home stadium against Newcastle. In both matches, Bournemouth had solid chances even for the wins, so they again showed they have a very competitive Premier League squad.
West Ham vs Bournemouth pick: Under 2.5 goals
Interestingly, West Ham and Bournemouth had two h2h matches last season, and both games finished 1-1. We should expect a similar encounter on Wednesday night, so under 2.5 goals is a good option for this tie.

West Ham team news
The summer transfer window closes this week, and West Ham try to sign another attacker. According to some reports, the Hammers want to sign Tammy Abraham from AS Roma. Abraham missed almost the whole last season with a cruciate ligament injury, but he has recovered and could be an interesting option for West Ham.
West Ham doesn't have any missing players right now. However, we could expect the head coach, Julen Lopetegui, to rotate the squad for the cup tie against Bournemouth.

Bournemouth team news
Bournemouth have some injury problems. They will be without Enes Unal, Tyler Adams, and David Brooks on Wednesday. The rest of the squad should be fit to play, but the head coach, Andoni Iraola, will likely shake things up for the cup tie, too.
