Bournemouth Preview – Cherries to cruise into round five?
Scott Parker’s Bournemouth have bigger fish to fry as they hunt down promotion to the Premier League this season. The Cherries are in third position right now, amassing 52 points from 28 league games. After recent results, Bournemouth are six points behind leaders Fulham.
Scott Parker has been a very busy man in the transfer window, bolstering Bournemouth’s already talented squad for the run in. Things did need freshening up at the Vitality Stadium, as the Cherries have picked up just four Championship wins since October. However, they did win 1-0 at Barnsley in the last one.
Bournemouth were too good for National League side Yeovil Town in round three, with Emiliano Marcondes netting a hat-trick in a 3-1 success. A repeat win will do for the Cherries this weekend.
Boreham Wood Preview – Can the Wood cause an almighty upset?
Boreham Wood finished in the bottom half of the National League last term, but the Hertfordshire club are having a much better season this time around. Luke Garrard’s boys occupy fifth spot at present after 14 wins, seven draws and two defeats from 23 games.
On their way to the third round of the FA Cup, Boreham Wood saw off Barnet, Eastleigh and St Albans. They were then paired up against EFL League One side Wimbledon. Tyrone Marsh and Adrian Clifton were on target in a memorable 2-0 home victory over the Dons.

Bournemouth vs Boreham Wood Betting Advice
Bournemouth desperately needed the 1-0 win at struggling Barnsley last weekend after suffering back-to-back losses to Luton Town and Hull City. They now head into this cup tie in far higher spirits.
Key Facts – Bournemouth vs Boreham Wood Betting Tip
- Bournemouth have won eight of their 14 home matches this term
- Boreham Wood shocked Wimbledon in the previous round
- This will be the first ever meeting between the two clubs
Boreham Wood did superbly well to see off League One Wimbledon in round three, but this will be an entirely different task altogether. Bournemouth are not an easy nut to crack at the Vitality, and Parker’s boys should be too strong. We like the look of 7/4 for the hosts to win both halves.
Barnsley have won 12 times without conceding this season. You can get the decent price of 4/5 for Parker’s side to win to nil again this weekend.
