AFC Bournemouth form and stats

10 victories, 3 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what AFC Bournemouth have to build on here at Vitality Stadium in the Championship.

The AFC Bournemouth fans got no joy from their last match, a Championship game also here at Vitality Stadium: A 2-3 defeat against Barnsley (placed 6th). Preceding that game was the away draw at Preston North End that finished 1-1.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Bournemouth as they have a new game in only four days, a FA Cup match thankfully also at home. Southampton are visiting.

A decent goal production from Bournemouth in their home games so far, with 30 goals from 18 league matches. 19 goals have been conceded.

Swansea City form and stats

The visitors, who have the most clean sheets (18) in Championship, are W9-D4-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Championship.

Swansea play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Luton Town (placed 16th). A 1-1 draw at Blackburn Rovers's stadium before that.

A quick return to home after this game, as Swansea City are hosting Cardiff City in the Championship only four days away.

Swansea find the net regularly in their away games. 22 goals from 17 away fixtures in the league. Swansea City are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 15 times in 17 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
