Before Betting
Bournemouth will be hoping to get their Premier League campaign back on track this week after losing their previous two.
The Cherries were swept aside in their previous outing after losing 3-0 against Liverpool.
Andoni Iraola will certainly have some defensive issues to address, as the Cherries have conceded six goals across their last three in the league.
Bournemouth’s main strength so far this term has been in their attacking play. They have already netted five times. However, they have failed to register in their last two.
This could be a perfect fixture to respond, as Southampton have been outclassed across the opening five matches since their promotion back to the Premier League.
Only Everton and Wolves have allowed more goals than the Saints. Russell Martin’s side gained a first point of the season last weekend against Ipswich, but they likely should have held on for maximum points after conceding late into stoppage time.
The Saints have scored just two league goals this term, which means that they have the worst attacking record in the competition.
But, their fortunes could be altered with a win at the Vitality, as they could end the round in 14th.
Bournemouth vs. Southampton Prediction
Bournemouth’s defensive record is a huge concern for me this weekend. The Cherries got out of jail against Everton in their only win this term, but that could have been mostly down to the performance of their rivals.
The away trend of victories in this fixture is fascinating, with each of the last five across all competitions being won by the team on the road.
Southampton have won on their last three visits to the Vitality, and are unbeaten in their last six trips.
