Aiming to make it seven wins on the spin, SlipsTips shares a Bet Builder ahead of West Ham's clash with Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday evening.
West Ham vs Bournemouth, Saturday (17:30)
Two of the Premier League’s form sides go head-to-head on Saturday evening as West Ham United welcome Bournemouth to the London Stadium.
Although West Ham remain in the relegation zone, they now sit just three points adrift of Nottingham Forest in 17th place after collecting 10 points from their last five league outings.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, have pieced together a six-match unbeaten run to climb into the top half of the table, with their most recent success a hard-fought 2-1 victory away at Everton.
Jarrod Bowen 2+ shots
For the first leg of what will be a player-based Bet Builder double, I am including Jarrod Bowen to attempt two or more shots. The West Ham captain has long carried a reputation as a player willing to try his luck at any given opportunity, and this season has been no different. Across his 26 top-flight appearances this term, Bowen has averaged a healthy 2.36 shots per game.
A closer look at his underlying numbers highlights just how reliable he has been for multiple efforts at the London Stadium. The 29-year-old has registered at least two attempts in 12 of his 13 home league outings this season, including each of his last five.
The fact that Bowen managed exactly two shots in the reverse fixture against Bournemouth only strengthens the case for backing him to repeat the trick on Saturday evening.
Crysencio Summerville To Be Fouled 2+ Times
As for the second leg of the Bet Builder, I’m turning my attention to another of West Ham's chief attacking threats in the shape of Crysencio Summerville. The in-form Hammers winger is enjoying a real purple patch in the final third, and that surge in confidence has seen him attract plenty of close attention from opposition defenders. In fact, Summerville is winning an average of 2.32 free-kicks per game in the Premier League this season.
A deeper dive into the numbers shows that the volume of fouls Summerville is drawing has increased in recent weeks, having been brought down on two or more occasions in six of his last eight league appearances, including three or more times in two of those contests.
The fact that Bournemouth rank among the division’s most frequent offenders, committing an average of 12.19 fouls per game this term, adds weight to this selection. It is also worth noting that Summerville is likely to line up opposite Alex Jimenez, who has been guilty of multiple offences in five of his last seven Premier League appearances.
