Bournemouth signed coach Andoni Iraola from Spanish la Liga outfit Rayo Vallecano, where he has done excellent work with very limited resources for some time, and we can very much forget the sorry sight of Bournemouth last season who needed a miracle to stay up after a poor start to the season, this will be an English version of attacking, high pressure, quick and aggressive Rayo, whose key principles were speed in the wings.

The transition process will take some time, but the performances in the preseason were promising, and their choice of opponents was telling as they faced among others Atalanta and Lorient. I am expecting Bournemouth to fight for top-10 positions this season.

West Ham lost their two best players with the ball, Declan Rice and Lucas Paquet, and it shows badly even if there are no other major changes in the way they play since last season. The last 3 friendlies ahead of the season went badly, a draw with a pub team, and big losses v Rennes and Leverkusen.

On paper there are quite a few injuries at Bournemouth, but there is a big squad available and it is hard to see what the optimal lineup or Iraola would in the end be, so there will be still experiments and who fits best to all key positions. Whoever we see there today might not start the next round, especially remembering that the transfer window is still open.

The key man might be right back Antony Jaiden, but the most important thing is the cohesion and team defense.

At West Ham there is a late super signing from Southampton, James Ward-Prowse, but he is unlikely to feature today.

As both teams are more or less midtable the expected class difference is small, or there is none? With new coach, there are more question marks in Bournemouth, but current odds are a must to take for the home side. Good luck!

3-1

伯恩茅斯从西甲球队巴列卡诺签下了安多尼·伊奥拉，他在有限的资源下完成了一段时间的出色工作，我们完全可以忘记上赛季伯恩茅斯在赛季糟糕的开局后需要奇迹来保持状态的令人遗憾的一幕，这将是一个英格兰版的进攻，高压，快速和侵略性的雷奥，他的关键原则是在两翼的速度。

过渡过程需要一些时间，但季前赛的表现是有希望的，他们选择的对手是亚特兰大和洛里昂。我希望伯恩茅斯能在本赛季争夺前十的位置。

西汉姆联失去了他们最好的两名持球球员，德克兰·赖斯和卢卡斯·帕奎特，即使他们的踢球方式自上赛季以来没有其他重大变化，这也表明他们的表现很糟糕。赛季前的最后3场友谊赛都很糟糕，一场战平了一支酒吧球队，对雷恩和勒沃库森的比赛也输得很惨。

理论上，伯恩茅斯有很多伤病，但是有一个大的阵容，很难看到伊罗拉最终的最佳阵容是什么，所以仍然会有实验，谁最适合所有关键位置。无论我们今天在那里看到的是谁，都可能无法进入下一轮，尤其是要记住转会窗口仍然敞开着。

关键人物可能是右后卫安东尼·贾登，但最重要的是球队的凝聚力和防守。

西汉姆有一名来自南安普顿的超级球星，詹姆斯-沃德-普劳斯，但他今天不太可能出场。

由于两支球队或多或少都处于中游水平，所以预期的等级差异很小，还是没有?有了新教练，伯恩茅斯有了更多的问号，但目前的赔率对主队来说是必须的。好运！
