Ah, the clash of the titans. Bournemouth versus West Ham. Keep your eyes glued, ladies and gents, because this is going to be a page-turner of a match.
Bournemouth, backed by their goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga, who's showing a steady hand with a rating of 7.02 and 11 saves, seem to be a smidge ahead in the goalie department, given that West Ham's Fabiański also has 11 saves under his belt but drags at a close 6.80 rating.
In the players' arena, West Ham's shining knights seem to be Jarrod Bowen and Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Bowen, with an impressive 7.5 rating, not only got a goal but took 7 shots on goal. Wan-Bissaka is also turning heads with 2 goals and 2 shots on goal with a 7.22 rating.
On Bournemouth's side, we have Justin Kluivert, mastering the art of goal-scoring with 3 under his belt and 7 shots on goal. Miloš Kerkez is also proving his worth with a 7.27 rating and a solitary goal.
Digging back into the history books, the previous head-to-heads tell an ambiguous tale with one draw and one West Ham win. But if we roll the dice and look at the season records, Bournemouth is holding a more dignified stance than West Ham.
Turning our attention to the recent results, Bournemouth is out there, slaying dragons and saving damsels while West Ham seems to be stuck in a quicksand of inconsistent performances.
So after consulting the tea leaves, I'm predicting that Bournemouth will come out on top, but it's likely to be a tight affair, folks - no landslide victories here today.
