Southampton v Bournemouth Betting Preview – Premier League 1st April 5.30pm

A south coast derby going off then at St Mary’s and this should be pretty entertaining because both have been struggling for clean sheets. Bournemouth’s defence has been super leaky since the turn of the new year though and Southampton will fancy their chances of making it four wins on the bounce against them at St Mary’s.

Southampton v Bournemouth Betting Tips

We are looking forward to this one because it should be packed with end to end stuff on the south coast. Southampton have gone W5 D3 L4 at home this season, a little disappointing overall, and they have won just one of their last four there (L3). They haven’t played a Premier League home game since back on February 4th though so it’s been a while. Overall, home and away, before the international break, Southampton won two of their last three league games, scoring a total of nine goals in that sequence. Over 2.5 goals at Coral is a price of 8/11 and there’s a high probability of that going on. Southampton have won two of their three previous Premier League home games against Bournemouth (L1) and each of their last three home games against the Cherries, the Saints have won 2-0. You can have a 15/2 price at Coral on a Southampton 2-0 correct score. Losing the in-form Manolo Gabbiadini to injury is a massive blow for the Saints, leaving Shane Long and Jay Rodriguez as 11/10 outright favourites in the anytime goalscorer market. Southampton have scored just 14 goals in their 12 home games this season but they have only two clean sheets in their last eleven league matches.

You can take an option for both teams to score at Coral for a price of 3/4. Bournemouth have failed to pick up a win at Southampton in all competitions from their twelve previous jaunts along the south coast. Their record from those games is D4 L8, so they will need to snap some poor head to head form to get something out of this. Josh King is in fine scoring form at the moment with eight goals and one assist in his last eight Premier League appearances for Bournemouth and he is a 9/4 Coral anytime goalscorer option. The Cherries are on a two-match winning streak in the league and have remained unbeaten in three. However, away from the Vitality, they have gone just D1 L3 in their last four and they have won just one of their last eight away from home. The Cherries went down 3-1 at home against the Saints earlier in the season and they have conceded at least two goals in ten of their last twelve league games. They have conceded an average of 2.2 goals per game out on the road this season – 21 of which have come in their last eight on the road in the competition.

Southampton v Bournemouth Predictions

Southampton Home Win: The Saints should be able to find a way past the Cherries in this one, even though Manolo Gabbiadini injury is a massive hit for them. They are still likely to find enough goals in this one to win, but look for both teams to score.
