Bournemouth have been finding it hard to win lately, drawing three of their last five matches and losing one. They are not in terrible shape, but they do not look very threatening either. Brighton, however, are really struggling at the moment. They have lost four of their last five away games, including some heavy scorelines, and only picked up one win in that run. That win was a very strong one, but the rest of their form has been poor.

When these two teams have met recently, there have often been quite a few goals, with matches ending 2-1, 3-1, and 3-0 in recent seasons. The last game between them was a 1-1 draw. Because Brighton are in such poor form on the road and Bournemouth, while not outstanding, are at least steady at home, this looks like a match Bournemouth should be able to win.
