Recent form

Bournemouth

Bournemouth's recent form has been struggling, with only one win in their last six matches across all competitions. The team is currently on a two-game losing streak in the Premier League, having failed to score in both matches against Liverpool and Chelsea. Despite their 13th position in the league table, Bournemouth's defensive record is a concern, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last six outings. Their offensive output has also been lackluster, scoring just 0.83 goals per game on average. Interestingly, 67% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards lower-scoring affairs. The team's only win in this period came in a high-scoring 3-2 victory against Everton, which stands out as their most prolific attacking performance.

Southampton

Southampton's recent form has been concerning, with the team struggling in the Premier League and currently sitting in 18th position with just one point from five games. Their last six matches across all competitions have yielded only one win, two draws, and three losses, indicating a difficult run of form. The team's defense has been particularly vulnerable, conceding an average of 2 goals per game and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last six matches. However, their offensive output has been somewhat better, scoring 1.33 goals per game on average. A highlight in their recent performances was a high-scoring League Cup match against Cardiff City, which Southampton won 5-3, showcasing their attacking potential. The team's inability to secure victories in the Premier League is a pressing concern, with their last three league matches resulting in two losses and a draw.

Recent home/away form

Bournemouth

Bournemouth's recent home form shows a mixed bag of results, with no clear winning or losing streak evident. Their last six home games have produced three wins, one draw, and two losses, indicating inconsistent performances. The team has been involved in some high-scoring encounters, particularly the 3-2 victory over Girona in a friendly match and the 3-0 win against Brighton in the Premier League. Bournemouth's goal-scoring record at home is respectable, averaging 1.5 goals per game, while their defense has been relatively solid, conceding an average of just one goal per match. The team has managed two clean sheets in their last six home games, showcasing their ability to shut out opponents on occasion. Interestingly, half of their recent home matches have seen both teams score, and there's an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals, suggesting a balance between defensive stability and offensive output.

Southampton

Southampton's recent away form has been inconsistent, with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses in their last 6 away games. Their most notable performance was a high-scoring 5-3 victory against Cardiff City in the League Cup, showcasing their offensive capabilities. However, they've struggled defensively, conceding 10 goals in 6 games (1.67 per game) and keeping only one clean sheet. The team's goal-scoring average of 1.33 per game is overshadowed by their defensive vulnerabilities, resulting in a negative goal difference. Interestingly, 67% of their away games have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards tighter contests despite the occasional high-scoring outlier. Their recent draw against Everton in the League Cup broke a pattern of alternating wins and losses, potentially indicating a shift in their away performance.
