Leicester vs Bournemouth Prediction & Betting Tips (5 October)

Winner of the Championship last year, Leicester only needed one season to rediscover the joys of the Premier League. The promoted person will certainly have to work hard to avoid the descent. Still waiting for a victory after 6 days 3 draws and 3 defeats, the Foxes are currently 17th in the standings. Returning from the September international break, they shared the points with low-ranked Crystal Palace 2-2 and Everton 1-1. Last weekend, Leicester conceded an expected setback at Arsenal's lair 4-2.

Progressing since its return to the elite in 2022, Bournemouth is a club that works well under the orders of the Basque technician Andoni Iraola. This season, the Cherries hope to reach a new milestone by moving a little closer to the top half of the table. They currently occupy 11th place in the ranking with a balanced record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. After logical setbacks suffered against big names Chelsea 0-1 and Liverpool 3-0, Bournemouth reacted last Monday by taking over promoted Southampton 3-1.

Leicester must still do without solid Danish defender Verstergaard, strikers injured since the start of the season Daka and Opoku as well as replacement goalkeeper Stolarczyk, all on the flank. Last weekend, the dynamic full-back Justin stood out with a double. On the attacking front, veteran Jamie Vardy (2 goals in PL) should still take his place. Loaned by Brighton this summer, the promising Argentine attacking midfielder Buonanotte (19 years old, 1 goal and 2 assists in the PL) is available. Bournemouth remains deprived of the too often injured American midfielder Tyler Adams.

However, no other absences are to be deplored this weekend. The loss of striker Solanke obviously leaves a big void for the Cherries. Recruited from Porto to replace him, the Brazilian Evanilson opened his account on the last day (1 goal in 5 PL matches). He could be supported by Semenyo (3 goals and 1 assist in PL), Ouattara (1 goal and 1 assist in PL) and Tavernier (1 goal and 1 assist in PL).
