LiontipsBournemouth vs Southampton. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022-23 English Premier League (October 19, 2022).
Command Analysis
Bournemouth got a draw against Fulham last weekend, thus extending their unbeaten streak to six matches. If the Cherries do not lose tonight, they can repeat the achievement of the 2017-18 season, when they went undefeated for seven straight games. It is unlikely though, because Southampton is a very uncomfortable opponent for Bournemouth - the Cherries have only defeated Southampton twice in the 21st century.
Gary O'Neil's charges have collected 13 points from three victories and four draws and are occupying the 10th line in the Premier League standings, which is a very good start for a newly promoted team.
Kelly, Pearson and Brooks have been ruled out of this fixture.
Southampton really need to earn points today. The team is dangerously close to the relegation zone, and Ralph Hasenhuttlis losing the team's trust. The Austrian manager was off to a bad start in the 2019-20 season, too, but in the end, Southampton finished in 11th place in the Premier League.
The Saints have earned 8 points from the first ten games. They haven't won since August and are currently in 18th place. Last weekend, Southampton shared the spoils with West Ham (1:1).
The visitors will be without Lavia, Bella-Kotchapand Livramento.
