A massive game at the bottom of the Premier League standings is set for Thursday evening, as bottom-placed Southampton host Bournemouth. The pressure will be on the home side, as they chase a much-needed victory to keep their hopes of survival alive this term.
Before Betting On Southampton vs Bournemouth
Southampton’s stay in the Premier League could be coming to an end this term. The Saints remain bottom of the standings, and they are currently four points from safety. This home game against Bournemouth will be crucial in their bid to remain in the top-flight, as they chase a seventh success of the campaign. Southampton at least ended a three-game losing run in their previous match, as they picked up a vital point away from home against Arsenal.
However, Southampton’s home form is a huge concern coming into this showdown. They have lost ten games at St Mary’s this season, which is their highest number of losses in a Premier League campaign. Meanwhile, they have picked up fewer home points and wins than any other side in the top-flight this term.
Bournemouth’s Premier League survival chances were dealt a blow in their previous fixture, as they were hammered at home by West Ham United. That defeat ended a two-game winning run, and means that they sit just five points clear of the drop zone coming into this mid-week round of fixtures.
The Cherries also have a poor midweek record in the Premier League, as they have gone nine without a victory. They have also failed to score in each of their five games played in the middle of the week this season. Bournemouth landed victory on their previous visit to St Mary’s in 2019, but they lost 1-0 in the reverse clash in October.

This should be a very tight game between two sides that will be battling for the points. However, each of the previous four meetings between the teams have been won by the side playing away from home. Therefore, a chance will be taken on Bournemouth to continue that trend.
