AFC Bournemouth, who have the most scored goals (35) in Championship, have performed here at Vitality Stadium this season with 7 wins from 10 Championship matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 1. Two home wins in a row for Bournemouth bring valid hopes of a third.

AFC Bournemouth shared the glory with Luton Town in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Wycombe Wanderers in a game that was won 1-0.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Bournemouth's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won three matches, drawn one and lost one.
