Only a few games have been played in the Premier League so far, with Southampton placed 10th and AFC Bournemouth sitting in the 16th position.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Southampton form and stats

Southampton have less points than they have played home games in the Premier League so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 1 point.

Happy days for Southampton in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Sheffield United (placed 15th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Manchester United that ended 1-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Southampton have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found twelve games) they have won 4 times, drawn 5 and lost 3.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Southampton as they are travelling to their away game against Portsmouth in the Carabao Cup. That match is four days after this one.

Early season league goal statistics from Southampton's 2 home games: 2 goals, 3 conceded.

AFC Bournemouth have the goal stats of 3-4 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
