AFC Bournemouth vs Southampton

, KO: 19:30 Oct 19, 2022, Vitality Stadium
Southampton

Southampton are aiming to snap a run of poor results as they travel to Bournemouth for a midweek Premier League fixture. The Saints have been all over the place this season and could find things difficult against the Cherries who have impressed in recent weeks.

Bournemouth have put their early season struggles behind them and are beginning to show topflight quality under manager Gary O’Neil. They are unbeaten in their last six Premier League matches and at now up to 10th on the table.

The Cherries are coming off a 2-2 draw at Fulham in their previous Premier League fixture. They twice took the lead through Dominic Solanke and Jefferson Lerma but were pegged back both times by the Cottagers.

Bournemouth have also maintained a solid record at the Vitality Stadium where they have lost just once this season. They triumphed 2-1 over Leicester City in their previous Premier League fixture in front of their fans.

While Bournemouth are showing signs of improvement, it has been all downhill for Southampton in recent weeks. They have now slipped into the relegation zone having failed to secure a win in their last five matches.

Southampton are coming off a 1-1 draw with West Ham United in their previous Premier League fixture. They failed to build on an early effort from Romain Perraud and were pegged back midway through the second half.

The Saints have also struggled on their travels with four defeats in their last five away matches. Goals have also been a problem for Ralph Hassenhuttl's men lately as they have failed to score in their last three away matches.

How the bookies view it

The bookies appear to be split on this one with a win for Bournemouth priced at 37/20 by Unibet while a Southampton victory is valued at 7/4 by 10bet. A draw is set at odds of 23/10 by bet365.

Head to head

Southampton have a 9-2 advantage with four draws from 15 previous matches with Bournemouth. The Saints have also emerged victorious on their last two visits to the Vitality Stadium.

Players to watch

Dominic Solanke was on target last time out at Fulham and could be worth keeping an eye on for Bournemouth. BetVictor has the striker at odds of 2/1 to get on the score sheet on Wednesday.

Southampton have struggled in attack this season and will be relying on Che Adams to rediscover his scoring touch. The striker is priced at odds of 11/4 by bet365 to find the net on Wednesday.

Anything else catch the eye?

Bournemouth opened the scoring last time out at Fulham and could be backed to score first at 11/10 with bet365.
