Southampton

Current form
Southampton are the main contenders for relegation, only a miracle can save the team from returning to the Championship. The Saints have only nine points on their account, the last place in the table is 10 points behind the saving 17th line. Nevertheless, the team of Ivan Yurich, who recently became the head of the team, does not give up. In the last round, we managed to defeat Ipswich 2-1 on the road. Onuach scored the decisive goal in that meeting at the end. Unfortunately for the fans, it was not possible to develop success in the cup meeting – in the 1/16 finals, a home defeat against Burnley was recorded (0:1).

AFC Bournemouth

Current form
Bournemouth is having one of the best seasons in the Premier League and after 24 rounds has a real chance to compete for a place in the top 4 and, consequently, a ticket to the Champions League. The Cherries scored 40 points, are in seventh place, but are only three points behind Chelsea, which occupies the fourth line, and the aristocrats have already lost their match of the 25th round. Andoni Iraola's team lost the last match, but Liverpool was the leader in the competition (0:2). After that setback, Bournemouth recovered in the cup game of the 1/16 finals with Everton, winning 2-0 on the road.

Tip and bets
It's hard to find arguments in favor of the hosts, given the tournament position. However, Southampton are still not giving up, they won the Premier League for the first time in a long time in the last round and will obviously try to build on their success at home. Bournemouth is performing beyond all praise, but the team has a lot of losses in the squad, it's hard to produce positive results from match to match without rotation, and a recession is inevitable. We believe that today there may well be a surprise from extremely motivated hosts.
Our forecast is for Southampton to win with an Asian handicap (+1) by a factor of 2.14
Bet on the total
Southampton have nothing much to lose, they just need to play to win and attack with great strength. At the same time, Bournemouth has a good implementation and is able to support open football. We are waiting for at least three goals in the match.
The second bet is a total of more than three goals with a coefficient of 1.78
A bet on yellow cards
It is impossible to ignore a promising trend in yellow cards. Bournemouth players have received at least three warnings in six of their last eight Premier League away games. It's definitely worth taking a chance and making a bet with a high coefficient on statistics.
Forecast – the total number of Bournemouth yellow cards is more than 2.5 with a coefficient of 3.00
