Bournemouth are set to take on West Ham in the Premier League Summer Series on Sunday, 3 August, as both of their US tours come to a close.
Both teams have won one match each during the Premier League Summer Series, and this match is likely to decide who finishes in second place behind Manchester United.
With the start of the Premier League season now less than two weeks away, there is a chance that this match will be played at a higher intensity than their previous pre-season matches.

Bournemouth vs West Ham prediction: A score draw is on the cards
Key stats
- West Ham have only kept one clean sheet in their last 14 matches.
- Bournemouth have scored two or more goals in four of their last five matches in all competitions.
- Four of the last five matches between these two teams have finished in draws.
Correct score prediction: Bournemouth 2-2 West Ham
Both teams have enjoyed relatively similar pre-seasons, which makes it difficult to call a winner here, particularly as both managers are expected to rotate their squads significantly. Recent clashes between the two clubs have also illustrated how evenly matched they are, so another draw wouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

Bournemouth preview: Life without Zabarnyi is set to begin
Centre-back, Illia Zabarnyi, is reportedly on the verge of a move to PSG, so he won't play any part in this one. While Bournemouth will now have to dip into the market to sign a new centre back, they at least already have a replacement for Milos Kerkez in the form of Adrien Truffert. The 23-year-old is set to make his third appearance for the club on Sunday.
Predicted lineup: Petrovic (GK), Hill, Mepham, Senesi, Truffert, Soler, Billing, Adams, Semenyo, Evanilson, Brooks

West Ham preview: Looking to build on Everton performance
West Ham were poor against Man Utd in their opening Summer Series match, but improved against West Ham last time out. Although Potter will want to give minutes to as many players as possible on Sunday, he will also be keen to build on the patterns that were evident against the Toffees. A 5-3-2 formation is expected once again.
Predicted lineup: Areola, Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Todibo, Kilman, Diouf; Ward-Prowse, Soucek, Paqueta; Bowen, Fullkrug

Player to watch: Niclas Fullkrug
After a disappointing first season in English football, which was marred by injuries and struggles in front of goal, Niclas Fullkrug will be hoping for improvements all round in year two. The 32-year-old is also, at present, West Ham's only recognised striker, so the club are placing a lot of faith in him. A few goals in pre-season could set him up for a good start to the Premier League.
