Match Prediction: Southampton 2-1 Bournemouth
Match Preview: Southampton has won the FA Cup once, in 1976, and their highest-ever league finish was second in the First Division in 1983–84. Southampton was relegated from the Premier League on 15 May 2005, ending 27 successive seasons of top-division football for the club. They returned after a seven-year absence, and have played there ever since. In the next match, they will play with the 4-4-2 formation. Shane Long and Danny Ings are their trusted center-forward and they are backed by Romeu, Nathan, James, and Oriol. They have also pretty good defense which makes them a solid team.
Bournemouth has won the second and third tiers of English football and were twice runners-up of the fourth tier. They have also won the Football League Trophy, and the Football League Third Division South Cup. David Brooks is a star player for their team and they would definitely want to win the match against Southampton. In recent games, they are also playing with the 4-4-2 formation. David brooks play in the right-wing where Ryan Fraser plays in the left-wing, and they are backing their center-forward Joshua King and Callum Wilson from both sides with the help of center-mid Dan Gosling and Jefferson Lerma.
In my prediction, Southampton will probably win the game against Bournemouth by 2-1, because Southampton is favorite in their home ground for the upcoming match.
