Our prediction for the match Bournemouth vs Southampton
“The Cherries” invited Andoni Iraola to coaching position in 2023. And the mentor, having spent some time initially acclimatizing in the Foggy Albion, eventually achieved a good result: 48 points and 12th place (and they fell behind Brighton only on additional indicators). “The Saints”, having managed to fall to the Championship in 2023, lost the battle for leadership there not only to Leicester, but also to Ipswich, but then managed to achieve success in the play-offs.
Before returning to the Premier League, Lallana and Brereton, Archer and Ugochukwu, Downes and Mateus Fernandes appeared at St. Mary’s. And the club signed Ramsdale, Fraser and Cornet at the deadline. Iraola, having let Neto go, made his fellow countryman Kepa the main goalkeeper. The club also sold Solanke, but the money received for Dominic was enough to sign his replacement, in the person of Evanilson, and for Huijsen and Araújo, and to buy out Sinisterra’s contract.
“The Saints” were frankly failing the season – having overcome Cardiff in the League Cup and, on penalties, Everton, the team started the Premier League with 4 defeats, and only the home struggle with Ipswich gave an opportunity to take a draw – it conceded in the 95th minute of the game. “The Cherries”, on the contrary, immediately flew out of the League Cup (a 0-1 result with West Ham in London), but took points in the first rounds: there happened the draws with Nottingham Forest and Newcastle and a victory over Everton. Still, then there were matches with the giants, Chelsea and Liverpool, which brought the defeats without scoring a single goal.
