Andoni Iraola will be hoping for a response from his side when they return to domestic action on Monday evening. The Cherries have suffered successive defeats in the Premier League without scoring, which has seen them drop to 13th in the standings. A much better performance will be required this week after being humbled at Anfield in the previous round of matches.
There will be work for the coach to do in a defensive regard, as the Cherries have conceded six goals in their last three. Their xGA is among the worst in the league at 7.23, having conceded 59 shots on goal so far this season from open play.
Southampton are still looking for their first league win since returning to the Premier League. The Saints have failed to win in five this term, and have played out just one draw. Their first point of the season came last weekend, as they let a 1-0 advantage against Ipswich slip in the final minutes at St Mary’s.
It is interesting to consider their xGA when predicting the outcome of this clash. The Saints have an xGA of 9.48, which is considerably among the worst in the competition. Furthermore, they have been weak when defending set pieces, after allowing four goals from 18 set piece attempts.
Bet hereBoth of these sides need to bounce back to form, but we will be following head-to-head trends when making a Bournemouth vs Southampton prediction.
Southampton have won on their last two trips to the Vitality, and are unbeaten in league matches at the home of their rivals since March 2016.
Goals have been in short supply for the Saints this term, but we like the chances of Adam Armstrong to score when making our Bournemouth vs Southampton prediction. The forward has attempted 2.89 shots per 90 this season, and he could break his duck in 2024-25 at the Vitality on Monday.
