On Sunday, May 25th, in the final round of the English Premier League, Bournemouth will host Leicester at home. Kick-off is scheduled for 17:00 Central European Time. I'm offering a bet on the number of goals scored by one of the teams in this fixture.
Interesting facts and head-to-head history
- Bournemouth have won only 2 of their last 10 Premier League matches.
- Leicester are unbeaten in their last 3 games.
- There have been fewer than 3 goals scored in Bournemouth's last three home matches.
- In Matchday 7 this season, Leicester defeated Bournemouth 1-0.
Match preview
Bournemouth have enjoyed a very successful campaign this season. For a long stretch, Andoni Iraola's side were in contention for a historic first-ever qualification for European competition, but since March their physical levels have noticeably dipped. As a result, Bournemouth now sit 11th and have no chance of breaking into the European spots.
It's clear that Bournemouth will be eager to finish the season on a high note against Leicester, giving their fans something to cheer about, especially since the Cherries have looked unimpressive of late. In the previous round, Bournemouth lost to Manchester City (1-3), before that suffered a setback against Aston Villa (0-1), and prior to that claimed a win over Arsenal (2-1). Over the last five rounds, Bournemouth have collected just 5 points.
Leicester, meanwhile, have had nothing to play for in this campaign for quite some time. The Foxes have endured a disastrous season and are already preparing for life in the Championship next year. After 37 rounds, Leicester have picked up just 25 points and are 18th in the table. The legendary Ruud van Nistelrooy took over as head coach during the season, but it had no positive impact on the team's fortunes.
However, in recent matches, Leicester have unexpectedly started to pick up points. In their last outing—which was a farewell appearance for club legend Jamie Vardy—Leicester overcame Ipswich (2-0), after drawing with Nottingham Forest (2-2) and beating Southampton (2-0).
Probable lineups
- Bournemouth: Kepa; Smith, Huijsen, Zabarnyi, Kerkez; Scott, Adams; Tavernier, Kluivert, Semenyo; Evanilson
- Leicester: Stolarczyk; Pereira, Coady, Faes, Thomas; Ndidi, Skipp; McAteer, Buonanotte, El Khannouss; Ayew
Bournemouth vs Leicester prediction
Bournemouth are a much stronger side, while Leicester's defensive woes have been immense all season. My bet is on the hosts to score more than 2 goals.
