Bournemouth to win or draw
Bournemouth to win or draw
Leicester were relegated to the top three in the Premier League at the end of the season. The team lost 6 out of the last 7 matches and fell to the penultimate place. The threat of relegation to the second division forced the management of the club to say goodbye to coach Brendan Rodgers. While bosses are actively looking for a new manager, Mike Stowell is in charge of the team’s play. Under his leadership, the Foxes played one match against Aston Villa (1: 2), but lost due to a missed goal in the 87th minute.
Key midfielders such as Tielemans and Dewsbury Hall will not help in the upcoming Leicester meeting.
Bournemouth have clearly increased their productivity in the last period in the last 10 matches. In that time, he was able to score 11 points to beat Liverpool 1-0 with an expected goal tally of 1.41 xg. This is well above its average of 0.97 xg. The arrivals of Hamed Traore, Antoine Semenho and Dango Ouattara in the winter transfer window helped increase the club’s volatility and attacking potential.
The only thing that could prevent Bournemouth from scoring in this fixture is a non-essential away game where they took just 8 points from 14 rounds.
My guess is that advancing Bournemouth will be able to capitalize on the absence of two key players from Leicester’s midfield at once.
