Bournemouth Preview – Can Bournemouth bounce back?
Having lost 3 of their last 4 matches overall in the Premier League, Bournemouth’s situation has become a major concern for players and fans alike on the south coast as manager Eddie Howe seeks to find the magic formula which will lift his side out of the bottom three.
Recent defeats to Burnley, Brighton and West Ham have dumped The Cherries into the relegation zone, but they have a chance to redeem themselves and jump out of the bottom three when they entertain fellow strugglers, Watford, at their Vitality Stadium in this crucial relegation ‘six-pointer’.
2 of Bournemouth’s recent 3 defeats were inflicted upon them away from home while at their Vitality Stadium, the Cherries have also lost 3 of their last 4 matches too – losses to Wolves, Liverpool and Burnley doing the latest damage to The Cherries on home turf.
This upcoming match against Watford though represents a great opportunity for Bournemouth to return to winning ways and improve upon a home record which stands at 2-4-4 10/14. However, the goals market may be the best option as 6 of Bournemouth’s 10 home matches have seen both teams score.
Watford Preview – Can Watford continue revival?
The arrival of new manager, Nigel Pearson, certainly seems to have done the trick so far for Watford as The Hornets have putt together an impressive and encouraging 4-match sequence without defeat in the Premier League ahead of Sunday’s relegation clash down on the south coast.
Recent wins against Manchester United, Aston Villa and Wolves have lifted the spirits around Vicarage Road and although the visitors still occupy a place in the bottom three, they’re now just 2 points adrift of fourth placed Aston Villa and safety.
It should be noted however, that all three of Watford’s recent wins were all recorded on home turf at Vicarage Road where The Hornets have won 3 of their total of 4 wins to date this season, leaving them with just the one win on their travels so far this season.
An away record of 1-3-6 6/20 includes losing 3 of their last 4 away matches having lost at Southampton, Leicester City and Liverpool, so the goals market beckons once again instead.
