Bournemouth take on the visitors Southampton in the round 6 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, September 30th at Vitality Stadium (Bournemouth).
Bournemouth are entering their third season since returning to the Premier League. Last season, they were already under the guidance of Andoni Iraola. Initially, Iraola had to adapt to the realities of football in England, but by the end, his team showed progress, finishing in a respectable 12th place in the Premier League. Now, the Basque coach has a new challenge: restructuring the team after losing Solanke to Tottenham—a departure they weren’t fully prepared for. It’s uncertain if the new signing, Evanilson from Porto, will be able to fill the gap. So far, the results have been mixed, leaving room for improvement: an early exit from the League Cup at the hands of West Ham, and in the Premier League, after drawing with Newcastle and Nottingham Forest, and pulling off a comeback win over Everton, they’ve since lost convincingly to Chelsea and, especially, Liverpool.

Southampton continue to fall short of expectations. The "Saints" have frequently left the impression that they could achieve more. First, despite the active and strategic investments by new owner Dragan Solak, the club managed to drop to the Championship. Then, as favorites in the second tier, they lost out not only to Leicester but also to a more modest Ipswich, and even in the playoffs, there were doubts. However, they redeemed themselves with a return to the Premier League. But back in the top flight, while progressing in the League Cup (winning 5-3 away against Cardiff and advancing on penalties against Everton), they started the league campaign with defeats. Only in the last round did they manage to secure a draw against Ipswich, although they let the win slip away when Morsy equalized in the 90+5 minute.
The "Saints" had won three consecutive meetings, but their last official match, in the spring of last year, saw the "Cherries" emerge victorious. A stronger and more consistent team is playing at home. We recommend betting on Bournemouth to win this match.
Prediction for the match: Bournemouth to win.
