**Bournemouth and West Ham Set for Final US Summer Series Showdown: Goals Expected, But History Points to a Draw**

**[City, Date]** – Bournemouth and West Ham United are set to conclude their Premier League Summer Series campaigns in the US with a highly anticipated fixture. While pre-season results are often unreliable indicators, experts predict a tight contest with a high likelihood of both teams finding the back of the net.

Both sides have shown attacking prowess in the tournament thus far. Bournemouth have averaged two goals per game, netting four in two matches, while West Ham have scored three. However, both managers will likely be concerned about their defensive records, as they have both conceded three and four respectively.

Head-to-head history suggests a closely fought battle. Four of the last five matches between these two clubs have ended in a draw, including both Premier League encounters last season. Notably, 80% of their previous five head-to-heads ended with fewer than three goals scored on the day.

While a goal-fest may not be on the cards, the statistics suggest goals at both ends are likely. West Ham have seen both teams score in 100% of their last five matches, and Bournemouth in three of their last four. Four of the last five head-to-heads have also seen both teams score.

Bournemouth enter the match having played more pre-season games (four) than West Ham (three), winning 75% of their games. However, a heavy defeat to Manchester United has likely dampened their spirits. West Ham, buoyed by a recent comeback victory against Everton, will be eager to end the series on a high note.

With Bournemouth’s European qualification hopes for the upcoming Premier League season, and the recent signing of new players, they will be hoping to get a victory from the match.

The match promises to be an intriguing encounter as both teams look to fine-tune their squads before the start of the Premier League season.

**Predicted Lineups:**

* **Bournemouth:** Petrovic; Araujo, Zabarnyi, Soler, Ouattara; Senesi, Hill; Semenyo, Billing, Tavernier; Evanlison
* **West Ham:** Foderingham; Wan-Bissaka, Mavrapanos, Kilman, Aguerd; Soucek, Rodriguez, Ward-Prowse; Paqueta, Todibo, Bowen
