Southampton hosts Bournemouth in round 6 of English Premier League. The match will be played on Friday, September 20th at St. Mary's Stadium (Southampton)
Southampton is not losing for three matches in a row. Two last games left a strong impression - a draw with Manchester United (1:1) and a victory over Sheffield (1:0). Obvious progress in club’s results is associated with an Austrian coach. Under the management of Hasenhüttl, the Saints began to act in the attack more professionally, and the club’s defense is worth its salt. In the four last matches, Southampton conceded only one goal from Manchester United.

Bournemouth cannot gather a full-fledged starting lineup so far. Ten players are injured, and it becomes a big problem for Eddie Howe. Truth be told, the club manages to win even with such a truncated squad. In the last round, the Cherries beat Everton (3-1). This victory confirms the high qualification of the attacking line. Bournemouth defends well and attacks dangerously in the games with equal opponents.
The upcoming match is a derby, and the teams have a special mood for such fights. The problems of Bournemouth’s formation of the squad are fading into the background. The players that remained at the disposal of Eddie Howe have proven their professional ability in the last round. Southampton has a problem with the conversion. Bournemouth cannot be defeated with one goal. It would win back. Theoretically, the host of a duel can become the master of the situation, but it will be incredibly difficult to do it in practice. In the last five head-to-head matches, a draw was recorded four times. In my opinion, there is no favorite in this pair now. I believe that Southampton is more likely not to lose this confrontation, and the match will not exceed three goals.
Prediction for the match: Southampton to win with +0.5 handicap and Under 3.5 goals scored
