Bournemouth host Leeds in the Premier League on Wednesday evening with the hosts looking to close in on European football, while the visitors are looking to take another step towards safety. Kick off is set for 8:00pm, and below you can find our match preview and predictions.
Best Bets & Predictions
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why I’m Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bournemouth to Win & BTTS | 3/1 @ Betfred (25%) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Andoni Iraola and Daniel Farke have shifted towards attacking football in recent weeks, with Leeds showing impressive attacking intent at Old Trafford and Bournemouth pressing both Arsenal and Newcastle aggressively. This tactical approach should create goal scoring opportunities throughout the match, and Bournemouth’s superior quality should see them claim victory, but with both teams getting on the scoresheet. |
| Kroupi to Score | 2/1 @ Bet365 (33%) | ⭐⭐⭐ | At just 19 years old, Junior Kroupi has made an immediate impact in the Premier League with 10 goals in his debut season, including two strikes in his last four appearances that have cemented his status as Andoni Iraola’s first choice forward. The French prospect has previous experience against Leeds, having scored a memorable last minute equaliser in a 2-2 Elland Road encounter in September, and his impressive scoring trajectory could earn him consideration for Didier Deschamps’ France World Cup squad if his form continues through the campaign’s final weeks. |

How both teams go into Bournemouth vs Leeds
A week on from beating Arsenal at the Emirates, Andoni Iraola kept things rolling. Bournemouth won 2-1 away at Newcastle United with goals from Marcus Tavernier and Adrien Truffert. That makes it 13 Premier League games unbeaten, a club record, and lifts them into eighth, level on points with Chelsea and Brentford in a tight table.
Bournemouth want to send Iraola off with European football, but the future is already set with Marco Rose arriving this summer. Next up is a push to avoid another home draw, which would be a fifth in a row. It will not be straightforward either. They have not beaten a promoted side in five attempts this season and their record against Leeds United is poor, with just two wins in 15 league meetings.
April has been big for Leeds United. They reached the FA Cup semi finals after beating West Ham United on penalties, then followed it with Premier League wins over Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers. A 3-0 win against Wolves pushed them eight points clear of danger with five games left.
Daniel Farke has never lost to AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League and Leeds already took a point off them this season. Away form has been poor overall, but they are unbeaten in five on the road and eight in all competitions. Still, their last visit to the Vitality Stadium ended in a 4-1 defeat under Javi Gracia.
Bournemouth team news
Bournemouth are still without Justin Kluivert, but Lewis Cook and Julio Soler could return after training. Andoni Iraola is not expected to change much, so Tyler Adams may be on the bench again, with Alex Scott and Ryan Christie set to continue in midfield.
Leeds team news
For Leeds United, Daniel Farke says Anton Stach and Daniel James are close to returning from injury, but this game may come too soon. Joe Rodon is back fit and pushing to start in defence, with competition from Pascal Struijk, Jaka Bijol and James Justin, who scored last time out.

Head-to-Head
Recent Meetings
These two don’t do dull. Three meetings, 16 goals, and not a single clean sheet between them. Last time out it finished 2-2 at Elland Road—expect more of the same.
| Date | Score | Competition |

| 27/09/25 | Leeds United 2-2 AFC Bournemouth | Premier League |
| 30/04/23 | AFC Bournemouth 4-1 Leeds United | Premier League |
| 05/11/22 | Leeds United 4-3 AFC Bournemouth | Premier League |
Conclusion
Bournemouth and Leeds have both been in good form of late and we see goals in this clash on Tuesday with the hosts coming out on top and both teams to score at 3/1. For those looking to dip their toe in the player props markets, we like the look of Junior Kroupi to find the net anytime at 2/1.
