An encounter at the Vitality stadium featuring teams that were once on a sweet ride but lost the wheel all of a sudden.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth has just the first half of the table to fight for as they are already assured of a place in the league next season unless an unprecedented turn of fate hits them hard, unlike their opponents.

The team have been quite in bad form lately with just one win from their last eight premier league games with their latest loss coming against Leicester city last weekend.

They sit 12th in the table, five points away from midway point in the table and 10 away from relegations zone and with 18 points still to play for, Eddie How's team would be hoping they don't make it worse than it already is and at least, avoid relegation.

Burnley

The Clarets started the season as parf of the teams playing in an European competition qualifier. Speaks volume of how impressive they were last season but it appears the team has spent the summer vacation on more of enjoyment than work.

The first half of the season is one to forget for Sean Dyche's men but they appeared rejuvenated in the second half of the season, embarking on an 8 match unbeaten run and suddenly took foot off the pedal again.

Although they won 2 nil last weekend against Wolves after losing four consecutive games albeit against giant teams. Burnley sit five points off relegation zone and would need nothing short of a fight to avoid dropping into the relegation zone.

Predictions

For all it is worth, Bournemouth looks quite good to pick the win at the Vitality. They have lost just four games there and they were all against the top teams. They have also shown to be good in front of goal with at least two goals scored by them in five of their last seven home games, so this one might see more than just a goal.

This will be a very interesting match because Burnley has got relegation to runaway from. Their solid and gallant defence which kept them secured last season is found wanting this season with just three wins and nine losses. Burnley are also known to be letting in the goals and this has in turn, pushed most bettors to go for an over.

My Tips..

Bournemouth Over 1.5.

Burnley x2
