Southampton vs Bournemouth Prediction & Betting tips
Southampton grabbed a point to visit Watford this week. This weekend, The Saints will be visited by AFC Bournemouth in its own St. Mary’s Stadium. A duel that really doesn’t matter anymore, but perhaps there is still some value to be found!
Southampton:
With a six point lead over Cardiff City, Southampton can no longer relegate. Officially, The Saints are not yet certain of retention, but if Southampton is still relegating, it is – jokingly said – a greater miracle than the national championship of Leicester City a few years ago. In any case, they have been worried about relegation at Southampton for a few weeks now, so manager Ralph Hasenhüttl has fulfilled his duties.
On Tuesday-evening, Southampton played an away game at Watford and history was written in that game. Even before all Watford fans were on their seats on Vicarage Road, Southampton striker Shane Long had already taken care of the 0-1: the 32-year-old Irishman was accurate after six seconds and broke the record of the fastest Premier League goal ever that Ledley King made after ten seconds in the Tottenham Hotspur shirt. Southampton, on the other hand, did not manage to take the full loot against Watford, as The Saints had to take the equalizer in the final phase.
AFC Bournemouth:
There are a number of football clubs that often cannot be tied to. Well that is the case this season at AFC Bournemouth. The Premier League club alternates great matches with bad duels and can win duel after duel one month and then lose eight out of ten matches. The results of Eddie Howe’s Bournemouth this season are so unpredictable that it is almost wise not to bet on Bournemouth.
A good example of this are the last two duels of The Cherries. Two weeks ago, Bournemouth unexpectedly won 0-5 against relegation candidate Brighton & Hove Albion. Last week a relegation candidate came to visit Bournemouth with Fulham and 0-1 was lost from The Cottagers. It is all intriguing to this season of Bournemouth, which, with a fourteenth place, does not perform particularly well in the Premier League. Certainly not when you consider that after twelve games, Bournemouth was still in sixth place in England, above clubs such as Manchester United, Everton and Watford.
