Bournemouth vs Sunderland Prediction

Bournemouth Form

Bournemouth lost twice in their last three matches, as they were defeated 0-1 by Liverpool and 5-1 against Chelsea. They turned the table by winning 3-0 against Sturm Graz. Bournemouth only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at Vitality Stadium in the Premier League. They also drew four and lost one of these six encounters, in which they scored nine and conceded seven goals.

A mid-table finish seemed likely for Bournemouth but in current form they could be dragged into a relegation battle.

Sunderland Form

In their last three matches, Sunderland lost against Manchester City and Brighton by 5-3 and 0-2, respectively, and beat Torreense by 1-2. Sunderland only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Premier League. In these six matches they drew two and lost three as well as being outscored by 14 goals to 12.

Sunderland entered the season dreaming of medals, but find themselves far off track following a lousy run of form.

Sunderland and Bournemouth seem to find it tough getting their defensively lines in order, as they both concede too many goals. We hope the trend continues this coming Sunday, as we aim for both teams to score.

Bournemouth won zero points from their last zero encounters with teams from the bottom six, like their upcoming opponent. They won zero, scored zero and let in zero goals. Bournemouth are looking at a record of zero wins, three draws and three defeats in the Premier League this season. Sunderland enjoy a record of one win, one draw and four defeats in the Premier League.
