Bournemouth vs Southampton: Premier League Prediction Match Details
Bournemouth take on Southampton on Monday night in a South Coast derby at the Vitality Stadium as Gameweek 6 of the 2024/25 Premier League season concludes. Can the Saints pick off their first win of the new season?
Bournemouth Preview & Form
Bournemouth has struggled in the new Premier League season, with only one win under their belt, but they have shown significant improvement under the guidance of Andoni Iraola. The Cherries are coming into this clash on the back of two successive defeats, as they were narrowly defeated by Chelsea 1-0 at home before suffering a heavy 3-0 defeat to Liverpool at the Anfield Stadium. Prior to their first win of the season, they suffered an early exit at the Carabao Cup against West Ham United, with the match ending 1-0. Currently, the Cherries sit 13th in the league table with five points gathered from their first five outings.
Andoni Iraola’s side are yet to secure their first three points at home this season, as they played a draw in their first home game and lost the second. Getting three points from the game against struggling newly promoted boys will boost their position in the table to 11th position, leaving them above Brentford and Manchester United.
Southampton Preview & Form
Southampton are one of six teams heading into this Premier League weekend without a win, as Russell Martin’s team has found life difficult in the Premier League after being promoted from the Championship. The Saints have lost their opening four consecutive Premier League games before gathering their first point of the season against Ipswich. In a game, Russell Martin’s side scored an early first-half goal at home before Ipswich Town captain Sam Morsy scored in the 95th minute to ensure the game ended 1-1. The Saints sit 19th in the relegation zone in the league table with only one point, but getting three points in this match will see them move to 17th place.
