Bournemouth managed to keep their place in the Premier League last season. The team gained 42 points with 45-67 aggregate goal difference and finished on 16th place. The start of the season was quite rough for the team as they lost to Manchester United, 1-3, and to West Ham, 0-1. However, these two teams considered as contenders for highest place so those defeats came as no surprise.
The opponents faced one another in League 2 several years ago. One match ended with triumph of today’s host, the Cherries were victorious twice and one match ended with a draw. However, Bournemouth have improved greatly since then and they are of much higher level side now so we should expect nothing but a victory of the visiting side.
Prediction for the match: Bournemouth to win.
