Key Factors

West Ham has dropped 20 points from winning positions this season, the highest in the league, indicating a severe vulnerability in the final 20 minutes.
Bournemouth is currently on a 6-match unbeaten streak with high xG consistency (averaging 1.6+ per game), while West Ham has frequently outperformed their xG, suggesting a potential regression to the mean.
Injuries & Absentees
West Ham is missing the injured Pablo Felipe (calf) and the suspended Freddie Potts, though Jean-Clair Todibo returns to the defense. Bournemouth travels without Justin Kluivert and Marcus Tavernier (doubtful), but their tactical system is designed to be 'plug-and-play', minimizing the impact of individual absences.
