Bournemouth had a good start, the Cherries picked up 5 points in the first 3 rounds, but then came more serious opponents (Liverpool and Chelsea), to whom the team lost. It's too early to draw conclusions about Bournemouth's form, but Solanke's departure hasn't affected its performance much.
Southampton are extremely unsuccessful in their return to the Premier League, the ‘holy men’ lost the first 4 rounds, only in the last match the team was able to get the first points, playing a draw (1:1) with another debutant of the league, Ipswich Town.
Nominally, Bournemouth look favourites today, but Southampton are now forced to play more aggressively, score and pick up points to finally not get bogged down in the relegation zone. Bournemouth's defence is not yet stable, so we expect both teams to score today.
Prediction: both teams to score. We recommend the “BTTS - Yes” bet, odds 1.58
