Our Predictions
Bournemouth are unbeaten in their last five, have scored more away, and the away win offers strong odds at 2.30 with slight edge in attacking quality.
Both teams average over 1 goal per match and are evenly matched in attack and defense, making BTTS likely at 1.75.
With in-form attackers on both sides and past meetings often close but competitive, over 2.5 goals at 2.00 is good value.
