Bournemouth vs Southampton Betting Tips & Predictions

Bournemouth will be very pleased that they managed to put together a good run of form in the middle of the season, because it’s that that is saving them. They are five points clear of the Premier League relegation zone and come into this match having lost three and drawn one of their last four matches in all competitions. Their only point has been against fellow ex-Championship side Watford at the weekend.

Southampton allowed Chelsea to come back from a goal behind and win the match on Saturday, marking the first time Fraser Forster has conceded a goal since his return from injury. Their record of six clean sheets in their last seven games is still very impressive though, as is the five wins they have picked up during this spell.

The visitors have picked up seven points from their last three away days in the Premier League and they’re coming up against a Bournemouth side on a run of three straight home defeats in all competitions. Southampton also have the added incentive of potential European football next season as well, so they will need all the points they can get.

The additional quality within the Southampton ranks should be enough for them to get a win against a Bournemouth side who have conceded seven goals in their last three home matches and are low on confidence at the moment. The fact that Bournemouth have only netted one goal in their last four outings makes me think that they’ll find it very difficult to get past a Southampton defence being organised by the exceptional Forster. A loss for the Saints looks very unlikely indeed, so a Southampton 0.0 Asian Handicap Win at 1.850 looks very good value.
