On Sunday Sep 24th, in week 6, AFC Bournemouth will travel to Falmer to battle Brighton & Hove Albion in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Premier League teams. In their last match, 5th placed Brighton & Hove Albion, recorded a 3-1 win against Manchester United. Danny Welbeck struck first for Brighton & Hove Albion in the 20th minute on a feed from Simon Adingra, then Pascal Groß added another in the 53rd minute. Brighton & Hove Albion should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches, while 15th placed AFC Bournemouth is fresh off their 0-0 scoreless draw against Chelsea. Neither AFC Bournemouth nor Chelsea could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 13 and 14 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a 0 – 0 draw,. AFC Bournemouth looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Brighton & Hove Albion won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Dominic Solanke has been the most prolific scorer on AFC Bournemouth in his last five matches with two goals. Evan Ferguson has been on a hot streak lately. In the last 5 games, the attacker has scored four goals for Brighton & Hove Albion.
