Bournemouth v Swansea Preview and Prediction

Date/Time:  Saturday 5th May / 3:00

On Saturday afternoon, Swansea face a potentially vital trip to the south coast to face Bournemouth, as the Swans look to move away from the relegation zone.

The Welsh side are now just a point above the drop zone, with three Premier League games remaining. A six-game winless run in the top-flight has seen Carlos Carvalhal’s side dragged back into the relegation dogfight.

However, after this clash the visitors face two of the bottom three on home soil, so this game may not prove to be vital in their survival, although a victory would give everything at the club a big lift.

Bournemouth are not mathematically safe from relegation, eight points clear of the drop zone. However, the Cherries look to have garnered enough points to stay out of the drop zone.

It is a good job they have too, as their recent league form has been poor. The Cherries are winless in five games top-flight. Eddie Howe’s side have also suffered three defeats in a row in the Premier League.

The Cherries tend to be involved in high scoring clashes, largely due to their inability to defend, as the visitors have conceded at least two goals in their last five league outings

Prediction

Home win and/or over 2.5 goals
