Bournemouth have had a tricky first five games within their schedule to the new Premier League campaign. Facing Liverpool, Chelsea and Newcastle – as well as tricky away trips to Everton & Nottingham Forest – they’ve shown some really promising signs in these games and will count themselves unfortunate to not have more points on the board.
The Cherries will, however, be looking at the next two league games as real opportunities to take six points vs recently promoted Leicester and Southampton
Andoni Iraola’s side play some brilliant attacking football. This attack-minded side will be looking to capitalise on the Saints’ porous backline tonight. Having picked up just one point from their opening five league games – scoring just twice in the process – Southampton are creating very little going forward and giving away plenty of big opportunities, something I think Bournemouth will certainly capitalize on.
Bournemouth tend to rack up a lot of corners at home. In their last 9 home league games, they’ve won: 6, 8, 3, 8, 7, 9, 9, 11, 10.
