Bournemouth Form

Bournemouth are 13th in the Premier League table after taking five points from as many league matches.

The Cherries were unbeaten after three games, drawing 1-1 with Nottingham Forest and Newcastle and beating Everton 3-2. Andoni Iraola’s side couldn’t keep the good form going and lost 1-0 at home to Chelsea, despite having 1.54-0.93 XG.

The South Coast side had 1,47 XG at Liverpool in their following match but lost 3-0. Conceding three first-half goals put Bournemouth on the back foot and they couldn’t respond.

Tyler Adams is the Cherries’ only confirmed absentee for this clash. The midfielder is sidelined with a back injury.

Forward Antoine Semenyo has scored two and assisted once in the Premier League this season. He is likely to start in attack on Monday.

Southampton Form

After taking just one point from five Premier League matches, Southampton are joint-bottom of the table.

Russell Martin’s side started the season with 1-0 losses at Newcastle and against Nottingham Forest. These results came before defeats against Brentford (3-1) and Man United (3-0).

The Saints secured their first point of the season with a 1-1 home draw against newly promoted Ipswich. Tyler Dibling gave Southampton the lead after four minutes but they couldn’t hold on and conceded a late leveller.

Verdict

Bournemouth v Southampton

Bournemouth’s home results haven’t matched their positive performances and something is building at the Vitality. Southampton’s defence concede a lot of chances and the Cherries can get their first home win of the season.
