Bournemouth v Leicester matched betting tips for the Premier League match at Vitality Stadium on Saturday 30th September. Read the match preview and predictions for Bournemouth v Leicester matched betting tips.

The two Premier League sides have recorded one win apiece this term and are fighting at the wrong end of the table. Both managers will be hoping for three points to lift their team away from the relegation zone before the international break in early October.

Bournemouth Team News

Eddie Howe has no new injury concerns following the 2-1 defeat at Everton last Saturday. Defender Tyrone Mings injured his back in the south coast clash with Brighton and is expected to be sidelined for six weeks. Striker Callum Wilson continues his recovery from a cruciate ligament injury and won’t be available to make his seasonal debut until later in the year.

Howe could name an unchanged side from the one that lost last weekend. Josh King opened his account at Goodison and looks set to continue in behind Jermain Defoe who has taken over from Benik Afobe as the main striker. Jordan Ibe will be hoping he showed enough to cement his place in midfield after being recalled to the line up against Everton

Craig Shakespeare will wait on fitness reports before deciding the lineup on Saturday. Jamie Vardy has had treatment for a knock but looks certain to play while Christian Fuchs will be assessed later in the week.

Vardy scored for the third successive game in the five-goal thriller against Liverpool and is expected to play in front of Shinji Okazaki in a similar 4-4-1-1 formation to this weekend’s opponents.

Bournemouth v Leicester Predictions

Bournemouth look to be facing a long, hard season after losing to West Brom and Watford in the opening two league games. There were better signs when Howe’s men lost to a 90th minute goal against Manchester City next time but their real problems stem from a lack of goals.

Having scored four in six games to date, Howe must find a way to create opportunities for Jermain Defoe who proved at struggling Sunderland, he still has what it takes to be one of the Premier League’s deadliest finishers.

Bournemouth’s sole win came in the most recent game at Vitality Stadium against newly promoted Brighton following home defeats to Watford (0-2) and Manchester City (1-2)

Leicester have played Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool already this season but despite plucky performances, were unable to earn a point. Like Bournemouth, the Foxes picked up their only win of the season against Brighton and looked below par when playing a 1-1 draw at Huddersfield in the last away game.

Leicester are scoring more freely than the home side and striker Jamie Vardy is on a hot streak. However, the visitors have yet to defeat Bournemouth in four top flight meetings, recording three draws and one defeat in four games.

Bournemouth have the quality to conjure up a goal while the Foxes have, for the most part, shown they still retain the fighting spirit of previous seasons. This could go the way of previous low scoring encounters with very little to choose between the teams.
