It’s a battle of the south coast when Bournemouth travel to Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday, 15th February, at 3pm (UK time). The match will not be broadcast live in the United Kingdom.
Justin Kluivert anytime goalscorer, Penalty in match YES and Flynn Downes to be booked (9/1 with BetMGM)
Justin Kluivert has scored in four of his last five appearances across all competitions, netting six goals in total during that time. Only four teams have conceded more penalties than Southampton this season (4), while Bournemouth have also conceded two. However, the Cherries have won a league-high seven spot-kicks. Flynn Downes has been booked 10 times in 20 appearances in all competitions this season.

How both teams go into Southampton vs Bournemouth
At long last, Southampton have won a match. The Saints beat Ipswich away last time out to end a run of just two points from their last 13 matches since that 1-0 victory against Everton back in early November. However, Southampton are still rooted to the foot of the table with just nine points, 10 adrift of safety, so unless the win at Portman Road inspires a remarkable turnaround in form, it’ll still be the Championship again next season.
No such problems for Bournemouth who, despite losing 2-0 to Liverpool last time out, sit seventh in the table and just three points adrift of an incredible and unlikely Champions League berth.
Southampton team news
Nathan Wood, Ryan Fraser, Ross Stewart and Taylor Harwood-Bellis are all out for the FA Cup tie against Burnley but could return to the squad here, meaning Southampton would only be missing Jack Stephens.
Bournemouth team news
Adam Smith, Alex Scott, James Hill and Luis Sinisterra could all return for this match but it could be a week too early for all three, but Bournemouth will remain without Marcos Sensi, Julian Araujo, Evanilson and Enes Unal.
