Going into this game, the form guide shows that Southampton:

Inspecting their prior head to head meetings dating back to 28/04/2018 tells us that Bournemouth have won 1 of these games & Southampton 3, with the tally of drawn matches being 2.

A total of 18 goals were scored between them in this period, with 7 for The Cherries and 11 being from The Saints. That’s an average goals per game of 3.

The Bournemouth manager Gary O'Neil has a full complement, with no fitness worries at all ahead of this match with a fully injury-free group available for selection.

We think that The Cherries will possibly kick off with a 4-2-3-1 system for the game and select Neto, Ryan Fredericks, Chris Mepham, Marcos Senesi, Adam Smith, Jefferson Lerma, Lewis Cook, Ryan Christie, Philip Billing, Marcus Tavernier and Dominic Solanke.

Out of a mainly available group of players, there’s just a single fitness worry for the Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhüttl to be concerned about. Tino Livramento (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t be playing here.

We reckon that The Saints seem likely to play in a 4-3-3 lineup with a starting lineup of Gavin Bazunu, Kyle Walker-Peters, Duje Caleta-Car, Mohammed Salisu, Romain Perraud, James Ward-Prowse, A. Maitland-Niles, Mohamed Elyounoussi, Joe Aribo, Che Adams and Adam Armstrong.

💭 Prediction

We believe that Southampton and Bournemouth may well both score, with little between these two teams.

Shouldn’t be much in it, and a draw looks quite a realistic result. With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very close game with a score draw when the referee blows the full-time whistle.
