A huge match at the bottom of the Premier League standings will take place on Saturday, as Bournemouth continue their search for a first league win of the season when they host Burnley. A victory for either this weekend could see them move out of the relegation places.
Premier League Preview
It may seem a little too early to call this showdown a relegation six-pointer, but it is a huge showdown at the bottom end of the Premier League standings for both sides. Bournemouth will have the home field advantage this weekend, as they look to bounce back after suffering a fourth straight defeat against Wolves last Saturday. That defeat means that they are now winless in nine in the Premier League this term.
Burnley haven’t fared much better over the opening months, as they have picked up just a single victory from their opening nine matches. That leaves the Clarets just a point and a place above the Cherries coming into the weekend. Defensively, they will need to improve, as they have already allowed 23 goals in the Premier League this term.
That defensive record is the second worst in the competition at this stage, and it will be an area that Vincent Kompany must address if the club are to avoid relegation back to the Championship this term. The Clarets were very poor last weekend, as they were brushed aside by Brentford away from home.
Bournemouth’s troubles in the Premier League started at the end of last season, as they have now gone 13 without a victory. Over that period, they have suffered ten defeats. They will be looking to avoid losing five on the bounce in the Premier League for the first time since July 2020 this weekend.
Bournemouth vs Burnley Head to Head
The Cherries have a poor record in this fixture, as they have lost six of their previous eight against the Clarets. That includes defeats in each of the previous four. Burnley have also won each of their previous three away matches against Bournemouth in the Premier League.
Bournemouth vs Burnley Prediction
Burnley’s record in this fixture could be the key trend to consider this weekend. The Clarets have won their last three at the Vitality in the top flight, and we could see them getting a fourth straight success on Saturday to end Andoni Iraola’s reign at Bournemouth.
