Bournemouth vs Burnley Prediction

Bournemouth Form

It could have been better, it could have been worse for Bournemouth, who have two draws to show from their last three matches. They came up short in a 0-1 defeat against Everton, followed by a 0-0 draw against Chelsea. They recorded yet another one in the latest round after a 4-4 match with Manchester United. Bournemouth claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the Premier League. They also drew three and lost one, scored seven goals and conceded four.

Dreaming of the Premier League title, Bournemouth are currently too far behind budget, so to speak, to seriously stake a claim at first place.
