Bournemouth vs Leicester Preview and Team News

Bournemouth Team News

Andoni Iraola will have taken huge positives from his Bournemouth side’s performances throughout this season. A top-half finish in the Premier League standings may still be attainable. However, they will need to get back on track after winning just once across their last four.

Bournemouth’s home form this season will be a slight concern, as they have won just 39% of their matches at the Vitality Stadium. Meanwhile, they’ve underperformed in terms of their xG of 1.75 after scoring just 1.17 per 90. But, they have conceded only 0.89 balls per home game with an xGA of 1.42.

Leicester Team News

Leicester’s one-season return to the Premier League mathematically ended last month. However, Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side have bounced back to form in recent weeks, taking seven points from their previous three matches. Last weekend, Jamie Vardy scored his 200th goal for the club on his first start for the team at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester have only won 11% of their events on the road so far, and have underperformed regarding their xGA of 1.93 after conceding 2.44 efforts per 90. However, they have narrowly overachieved in away matches in front of goal, scoring one per game. Their expected xG was 1.05.

Mads Hermansen, Bobby Reid, and Stephy Mavididi are all out due to long-term issues. Harry Winks is still banned by the club, and Abdul Fatawu remains out due to a serious knee injury.

Bournemouth vs Leicester Prediction 

• Pick: The Draw
• Odds: 5.40 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Bournemouth 1-1 Leicester

This clash at the Vitality Stadium has a real end-of-season feel to it. Bournemouth’s slim chances of a European place could end with a home draw against Leicester. 

Van Nistelrooy’s men come into the final round in their best form of the whole season, and have looked far more reliable defensively in the last month. 

Bournemouth’s counter-attacking style won’t be deployed on Sunday. That could set up perfectly for Leicester to end with a glimmer of hope that there could be brighter times on the horizon. 

Furthermore, five of the 13 Premier League meetings between these sides have ended in draws.
