Southampton vs Bournemouth Prediction & Betting tips
Southampton is still fighting against relegation. This weekend, Southampton will visit Bournemouth’s own St. Mary’s Stadium visit, which can also use a victory in the Premier League.
Southampton:
At Southampton they have to keep in mind that they will be active in the Championship next season. Also under Mark Hughes, the results of Southampton have not yet proved to be good enough to achieve retention in the Premier League. Hughes started well at Southampton with a 0-2 victory in the FA Cup at Wigan Athletic. After that, Hughes and Southampton only got a point in five Premier League-games and so it becomes very difficult for Southampton to maintain. The Saints program in recent weeks has been incredibly heavy.
The Saints hit the last few weeks namely clubs like Arsenal, Leicester City and Chelsea in the competition. Chelsea was also the opponent in the semi-finals in the FA Cup of Southampton and The Saints did not manage to qualify for the final. In the first half of the Wembley Stadium, Southampton managed to hold on to the national champion last year. Just after half-time, however, they were sleeping in the defenders at Southampton and Chelsea made it 1-0. In the end it was also 2-0 and due to the elimination they can now fully focus at Southampton on the relegation battle in the Premier League.
Bournemouth:
Bournemouth is safe and the season of The Cherries seems to have succeeded. With a three-run deficit at Newcastle United, Eddie Howe’s team can still rise in the rankings and enter the left-hand row. However, Newcastle United has only played 34 games, while Bournemouth has already played 35. Moreover, it remains to be seen whether Bournemouth is entitled to a final classification in the left-hand row on the basis of the entire season. Compared to last season, this season may be slightly less in the men of Eddie Howe, but if you look at the material that Howe has at her disposal, Bournemouth can not be completely dissatisfied with this season.
The Cherries can be dissatisfied with the results of the last weeks. Because of those results, Bournemouth also dropped a lot in the ranking. Bournemouth did not win four games and The Cherries lost their last two matches. 3-0 was lost on a visit to Liverpool and last week, Bournemouth was beaten 0-2 by Manchester United. So the game against Manchester United was played last Wednesday and so The Cherries had more than a week to prepare for the away match against Southampton. At Bournemouth, however, they do not have to compete for this season; The Cherries knew only one of their last thirteen away games in profit to convert.
