Bournemouth host Southampton at the Vitality Stadium in the Premier League on Wednesday, with both sides having had contrasting starts to the season.
Bournemouth are currently 10th in the league, three points off the top five. Gary O'Neil's side have been in good form of late and are unbeaten in their last six games across all competitions. They will look to extend their streak with a win against Southampton this week.
Southampton, on the other hand, are currently 18th in the table, three points off the bottom of the table. Ralph Hasenhuttl's side have been in poor form of late and are winless in their last five games across all competitions. They will hope to turn things around with a win against Bournemouth on Wednesday.
Both sides are looking to win the game for different reasons and that should make for an interesting matchup.
