Bournemouth vs Southampton Matchday Stats Preview

Having won their first Premier League home game against Southampton in March 2016, Bournemouth are now winless in their last five against Saints at the Vitality Stadium in the competition (D2 L3).

Southampton haven’t conceded a goal in any of their last three Premier League away games against Bournemouth – only against Swansea between 2013 and 2016 have they kept four consecutive clean sheets on the road in the competition.

Bournemouth have lost five of their last eight Premier League matches (W1 D2) – they had won five of their previous eight games beforehand (D1 L2).

Southampton have picked up just one point in their opening five Premier League matches in 2024-25, their fewest at this stage of a league season since 1998-99 when they had no points after five games.

Bournemouth have lost five of their seven Premier League games played on a Monday (W1 D1); among sides to play 5+ matches on this day of the week in the competition, their loss rate of 71% is the highest. Opponents Southampton, though, have lost 54% of their Monday matches in the Premier League (28/52), the highest rate of a side to play 20+ times on this day.

Southampton are winless in their last 18 Premier League matches (D5 L13) since a 1-0 win over Leicester City in March 2023. The last side to have a longer winless run were Norwich City between March 2020 and October 2021 (20 games).

Although Bournemouth suffered a 3-0 defeat at Liverpool last time out, they had 19 shots; that was the joint most by an away team in a Premier League game at Anfield that Opta has on record since 2003-04.

Southampton have conceded the most goals via corners (4) and set pieces (5) in the Premier League this season, while they are one of four teams – one of which is opponents Bournemouth – who are yet to score a set piece goal in 2024-25.

Adam Lallana assisted Tyler Dibling’s goal for Southampton against Ipswich Town last time out. Lallana is 17 years and 306 days older than Dibling, with that the biggest age gap between a goalscorer and assister since March 2006, when Teddy Sheringham set up Nigel Reo-Coker for West Ham against Wigan (18 years and 42 days older).

The two players who’ve conceded the most fouls in the Premier League this season are Bournemouth duo Justin Kluivert (15) and Lewis Cook (14). Those two players are responsible for 43% of the fouls the Cherries have committed this season (29/67).
