Goals are expected again

The impressive Bournemouth are in 6th place with 16 points after 8 games. Not only this is their best start in the category but they have also a great performance. Before the international break, they registered a huge win 4-0 in Watford's home. The 'cherries' were imposing and scored the first goal at 14' and they formed the 2-0 from 11m distance while they were playing with an extra player because the home team were suspended during a penalty. At the end of the half they scored the third goal. At their first goal attempt in the second half they managed to score the fourth goal and gain this glory win.

Maybe this wasn't the ideal start for Southampton as they registered only 1 win, 2 draws and 5 defeats in 8 games so far and they are just a breath away from the relegation zone. In the previous round, they suffered a 3-0 loss in home from Chelsea. They conceded the goals almost every half an hour and their goals attempts were few. These bad concecutive results brought pressure and disappointment to coach Mark Hughes and if things don't change he may not be on Southampton's bench anymore. 

Bournemouth are the favorite to win in this game as they are clearly superior than their opponent. I expect them to look for a fast tempo and many goals attempts, while Southampton are also ready to keep up with this pace in the game.
