Southampton vs Bournemouth Premier League Prediction Match Details
The Premier League matchday 25 action continues on Saturday at noon, with relegation-battling Southampton welcoming Bournemouth to the St. Mary Stadium. Can the Saints get another favorable result in their quest for survival, or will the Cherries ease past them?
Southampton Preview & Form
Southampton’s struggles in the Premier League continue but have shown some signs of improvement with performances under Ivan Juric. The last time out in the Premier League, the Saints ended a 13-match winless streak by beating Ipswich 2-1 at Portman Road a couple of weeks ago. The victory was the second win of the Premier League season, as they still sit at the bottom of the league standings with nine points, ten points from safety after 24 games. Ivan Juric’s men continued their struggles last weekend in the FA Cup as they were dumped out of the competition by Championship side Burnley.
Ivan Juric’s men have also struggled on their home soil, as they have suffered six home Premier League defeats in a row. The Saints’ defense has failed to keep a clean sheet in seven successive home games while also conceding at least one goal in 10 of their 11 home matches.
Bournemouth Preview & Form
Bournemouth has been one of the surprise packages this season as they come into this weekend game pushing hard for a historic first-ever spot in European competition. However, their momentum took a hit in their last Premier League outing, as the Cherries saw their impressive 11-match unbeaten run come to an end. They were beaten 2-0 by league leaders Liverpool at the Vitality Stadium a couple of weeks ago. Andoni Iraola’s men quickly recover from the loss by beating Everton 2-0 at Goodison Park last weekend in the FA Cup fourth round to advance to the next stage of the competition. Currently, the Cherries sit seventh in the Premier League standings with 40 points, a point behind Manchester City and Newcastle United.
On the road, Andoni Iraola’s men have avoided defeat in their last six league games, winning four and playing two draws. The Cherries’ attacking frontline is in excellent form, finding the net in each of their last eight away games and scoring at least two goals in each of their previous seven away matches.
