Their latest match brought some consolation with a 3-3 against Arsenal. Southampton claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Premier League, which also saw them drawing one and losing four matches, in which they scored six and conceded 13 goals.
Bournemouth Form
Bournemouth won twice in their last three matches as Leicester were defeated by 0-1, before they beat Tottenham 2-3. West Ham proved too strong, though, and a 0-4 defeat followed. In their last six Premier League away matches, Bournemouth have three wins, they've drawn zero and lost one three. They scored seven while also conceding nine times.
