AFC Bournemouth are welcoming Brighton & Hove Albion for another important game after their 0-1 result against 20th-placed Norwich City.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
AFC Bournemouth form and stats
With 2 Premier League wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, AFC Bournemouth are certainly not brimming with confidence. It's trouble wherever AFC Bournemouth are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
AFC Bournemouth haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 415 minutes ago. D. Gosling scored that one.
The fans are hoping that AFC Bournemouth will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Premier League game against Norwich City (placed 20th). Preceding that match was the home game against Watford that was lost 0-3.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for AFC Bournemouth here at Vitality Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (10 from 11 games). Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.

With two straight losses from their last two away games, Brighton & Hove Albion are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
