Bournemouth vs Leicester Prediction

Bournemouth Form

Bournemouth have been a bit bleak in their last three matches, although it opened with a 1-2 victory against Arsenal. Unable to follow that up, they went down 0-1 against Aston Villa, before handing over another win to Manchester City in a 3-1 defeat. Bournemouth only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at Vitality Stadium in the Premier League. They also drew one and lost four of these six encounters, in which they scored four and conceded seven goals.

Leicester Form

In their last three matches, Leicester beat Southampton 2-0, drew 2-2 with Nottingham Forest and beat Ipswich by 2-0. Leicester came through their last six away games in the Premier League without a single win. Of those six matches, they drew two and lost four in which, they were outscored by 12 goals to four.

They went into the season as candidates for the drop, and unfortunately for Leicester, they have lived up to expectations. As the season draws to a close, they are still in with a chance of escaping relegation, though.

Bournemouth need to show they are capable of rising to the occasion after the recent setbacks, losing their previous two matches. We favour them to get a real boost of out playing in front of their home crowd and to claim a win.

Bournemouth recorded 19 points following five wins from their last 11 games against teams placed among the bottom six. They scored 19 goals, but also conceded 12. Bournemouth are looking at a record of 14 wins, 11 draws and 12 defeats in the Premier League this season. Leicester are looking at six wins, seven draws and 24 defeats in the Premier League.
