Bournemouth Preview – Can Bournemouth continue promising start?
Although they suffered their first defeat of this new season during the week with an understandable loss away from home at Manchester City in the League Cup, Bournemouth still gave a good account of themselves, losing just 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium.
New Bournemouth manager, Jason Tindall, will have been encouraged by his side’s display and particularly The Cherries’ promising start to this season as the south coast club managed to beat Premier League club, Crystal Palace, in the League Cup as well as still remaining unbeaten after their first two matches in the Championship.
An opening day 3-2 home win over Blackburn Rovers was followed by a solid point on the road up in the north-east as they held Middlesbrough to a 1-1 draw at the Riverside Stadium; however, this looks a tough one to call this Sunday but seven of Bournemouth’s last 11 home matches in all competitions have seen both teams score.
Norwich City Preview – Can Norwich extend unbeaten run?
Norwich City, like their Sunday’s hosts, Bournemouth, will also be seeking a swift return to the Premier League following last season’s relegation and although the visitors were sent tumbling out of the League Cup at an early stage by fellow Championship outfit, Luton Town, The Canaries have since produced a recovery.
A valuable 1-0 win away from home at Huddersfield Town on the opening day of the new Championship season was followed by a 2-2 draw at home to Preston North End, and Norwich will no doubt be keen to extend their unbeaten run on the south coast in this clash.
Forward, Teemu Pukki, still hasn’t been snapped up by another club so Norwich stand a decent chance of hitting the back of the net here against a Bournemouth side who have yet to plug the hole left by former defender, Nathan Ake, who left for Manchester City in the summer, while fellow striker Hugill notched 13 goals for QPR last season.
