Cherries take on Saints in Monday's episode of Premier League football.
As Bournemouth aim to halt their losing streak and Southampton seek their first win of the season, the Vitality Stadium sets the stage for a Monday night clash where both teams hope to rewrite recent woes in the Premier League.
AFC Bournemouth
Bournemouth will be looking to recover from last weekend’s 3-0 defeat to Liverpool as they face Southampton on home turf in Monday’s Premier League clash. Currently sitting in 13th place with five points, [1W, 2D, 2L], the Cherries hope to end their streak of back-to-back losses [DDWLL].
A challenging sequence of results has seen Bournemouth lose five of their last eight Premier League matches [1W, 2D, 5L]. Adding to this challenge is their track record on Mondays, where they have lost five of seven Premier League games [1W, 1D, 5L].
Despite these odds, Bournemouth aims for victory. A potential 4—2—3—1 formation might feature Evanilson leading the attack against the Saints. The 24-year-old Brazilian striker is still seeking his first goal after two appearances for the Cherries. Tyler Adams is Bournemouth’s only confirmed absentee.
Southampton
Southampton find themselves in 19th place, six spots below their opponents on Monday, with just one point from their first five Premier League games (0 wins, 1 draw, 4 losses). This marks their lowest point tally at this stage of a league season since 1998-99, when they also struggled to earn points early on.
Last weekend, the Saints were close to securing their first win of the season against newly promoted Ipswich Town. However, a stoppage-time goal from Sam Morsy dashed their hopes of claiming all three points.
Despite not yet securing a victory, Russell Martin's side managed to break a four-game losing streak in the Premier League (L-L-L-L-D). They are eager to address last weekend's missed opportunities as they head to the Vitality Stadium for Monday's Premier League showdown.
Southampton may draw confidence from their recent defensive successes, having not conceded a goal in their past three away matches against Bournemouth. A 4-3-3 formation featuring Cameron Archer, Tyler Dibling, and Fraser could be their tactical approach in attack for the upcoming clash.
Captain Jack Stephens remains suspended, serving the final match of his ban. Kamaldeen Sulemana and Will Smallbone are doubtful for the game, while Gavin Bazunu is ruled out.
