The Match Is Over. Score:
1-2
Stoke City v Bournemouth Predictions for Saturday's 3.00pm kick-off league fixture set to see Stoke City host a Bournemouth side at Bet365 Stadium. Stoke will be looking to bounce back after conceding 7 goals to Manchester City last weekend, losing 7-2 at the Etihad. Mark Hughes’ team have had a slow start to the season, gaining just 8 points in as many matches.
Stoke will see this game as an opportunity to kick-start their season, as Bournemouth have looked far from perfect themselves. Bournemouth have lost 6 of 8 games in the PL so far; only scoring 4 times in the process, they also boast a poor goal/game ratio of 0.5.
Josh King & Jermaine Defoe are struggling to retain their fine form of last season, in which they scored 31 goals between them. This PL season they have both managed just a single goal apiece after 8 games, half of Bournemouth's total tally.
Last season’s hot-tempered match between Stoke and Bournemouth at the Britannia saw 6 cards. 5 of the 8 matches involving Bournemouth this season have brought 4+ cards, whilst 3 of Stoke’s matches have resulted in 4+ cards.
Bournemouth: Asmir Begovic - Adam Smith, Simon Francis, Nathan Ake, Charlie Daniels - Junior Stanislas, Harry Arter, Andrew Surman, Marc Pugh - Joshua King - Jermain Defoe (4-4-1-1 formation)
Bournemouth: Adam Federici, Tyrone Mings, Brad Smith and Callum Wilson will not feature here as they all are with some shape problems.
