Bournemouth have avoided defeat in their last eight matches in the Premier League, but they face an interesting challenge in the FA Cup this weekend.
The Cherries continued their excellent form last weekend with a fine win against Everton, and fans will be hoping for a decent cup run in 2024-25.
Manager-less West Brom will be the visitors to the Vitality Stadium. Despite losing Carlos Corberan to Valencia, the Baggies have continued to be difficult to beat in the second tier, and they look a good chance to finish in a playoff spot this term.

Bournemouth vs. West Brom Prediction
The FA Cup is all about surprises, and one of the first big giant killings of the season could come at the Vitality.
West Brom have been incredibly difficult to beat in the Championship this season, while the Cherries could take their foot off the gas following a busy festive period. Therefore, the slight preference is for the away win, but the draw also can’t be ruled out.
