Bournemouth vs Southampton Match Preview

Bournemouth host Southampton in an exciting twelfth matchday of the English Premier League.

The hosts after the change of manager have a six-match unbeaten streak in which they have won two. Most recently they drew 2-2 away to fellow newcomers Fulham in a game they took the lead in the second minute and equalized in the fifty second. At home in five matches they have only one defeat, this one against the leaders Arsenal in the third matchday, while the other two defeats they have in the league came from Manchester City and Liverpool.

The visitors, on the other hand, in their most recent game drew 1-1 at home against West Ham, thus stopping the negative streak of four consecutive defeats they had. In addition, their away record is meager since they collected just three points in five matches, including the third matchday since the victory over the faltering and penultimate in the table Leicester.

In conclusion, I think Bournemouth can take advantage of the positive momentum they are in and with a win sink Southampton even more. However I will bet more conservatively, 3 points to home DNB at odds of 1.95 which is quite high given the form of the two teams.
