Leg 1: Over 9.5 Corners
Matches involving these two teams rank in the top seven for corners obtained this season. Bournemouth average exactly five per game and conceded 4.80, whilst Southampton’s metrics read 4.8 and 4.40. Both teams are expected to lineup in a 4-2-3-1 formation and have wide players who can stretch the field both inside and out.
The other aspect to consider is that this is a local derby when players can become desperate. There will be times when the pressure is applied on both defences and in these types of matches taking the safety first option is often wisest. Saints conceded ten corners at home to Ipswich last week and when on the back foot they will put bodies on the line to block crosses. They are likely to be under similar pressure here which could help contribute towards the corner count.
Leg 2 : Bournemouth to Have 5+ Shots on Target
The Cherries are going under the radar for shots and shots on target this season. They racked up a hefty 19 efforts away to Liverpool last week at Anfield. Only Man City and Spurs average more shots per game (16.80) and they rank fifth for shots on target (5.60). Bournemouth have a lot of attacking players who like to try their luck such as Semenyo, Tavernier, Evanilson and Kluivert.
Southampton concede 15.80 shots per game on average and we can expect their backline to come under significant fire again in this clash. Taking the home team just to have five shots on target or more looks like a nice addition to any Bournemouth vs Southampton bet builder. It’s below their seasonal average at home as a short priced favourite facing a newly promoted team.
Leg 3: Antoine Semenyo to Have 3+ Shots
Staying with the Bournemouth shots angle and it makes sense to take a look at some of their individual players. Antoine Semenyo averages a ridiculous 5.03 shots per 90 mins. He is thriving as a starter out on the right wing and possesses a number of technical and physical qualities required to cause opposition defences some concerns.
He’s scored a couple of goals already this season and probably should have converted some more opportunities. With Bournemouth the strong favourite in this match you have to expect Semenyo to have plenty of opportunities to fire and he can’t resist a shot if presented with the chance. Rather than relying on him to score or to hit the target, taking the Ghanaian to have three or more shots looks the safest addition to your bet builder.
Leg 4: Bournemouth to Commit 12+ Fouls
This is a local south coast derby and the stakes are high between the two sets of fans. It’s Monday Night Football under the lights and cameras so we can probably expect a bit of spice and feistiness. Both sides play quite an energetic style and average significant fouls per game. Bournemouth rank in the top five for fouls per contest (13.40) and taking their whole team to commit 12 or more looks well within their wheelhouse.
Southampton average 60% possession so there will be ample opportunity for The Cherries to win the ball back and in the process generate some cheap fouls. Saints are one of the most fouled teams in the Premier League (12.80 per game). They are not necessarily a side who are looking for fouls but it naturally happens a lot because they have so much of the ball. Bournemouth are a high pressing team and could get over-eager in some cases.
This looks a very obtainable figure of fouls for the hosts to add to your bet builder.
