Cardiff vs Bournemouth PREVIEW & PREDICTION 02/02/2019

Cardiff – Bournemouth is the last Saturday match in the 25th round of the Premier League (17:30), and in the stands will feel the tragic accident after which Emiliano Sala, the new striker of the white-blue club, disappeared without follow. Bournemouth comes after a big success with Chelsea and has the first chance in terms of betting houses.

The atmosphere at Cardiff is one of emotion, after the death of Emiliano Sala, the recently transferred striker from Nantes. The sad event united even Roy Hodgson’s group, which has very important sports issues to solve. The attack of the Chelsea seems inaccurate, even if the white-blue players scored the last round on Arsenal’s field (1-2). Bournemouth has a permissive defensive defense, where he lost the last 6 consecutive duels, and this statistic should worry Eddie Howe, the southern manager.

Bournemouth has received at least two goals in each of the previous six championship shifts, but the guests have a psychological advantage due to their 2-0 victory. In fact, Bournemouth lost one match in the last 7 games against Cardiff, and the visiting team seems more dangerous at the moment, thanks to their effective offensive game. With Wilson and King in the outposts, guests will always terrorize the slow defensive against Etheridge.

Bournemouth is on the 10th place (37-42 golaveraj) and plays without pressure, being far away from the European area, but further away from the relegation area. Cardiff, in turn, needs as many points as possible in the basement, for the Welsh band is only 18th (20-46) and has only won 4 matches this season in front of their fans. Cardiff has tilted in the last two stages, 0-3 in Newcastle and 1-2 in Cardiff, while Bournemouth comes after two consecutive successes in front of Londoners from West Ham (2-0) and Chelsea (4-0). The addition of vitality, experience and technical quality could balance the balance in favor of Bournemouth.

CARDIFF – BOURNEMOUTH PROBABILITY TEAMS:

Cardiff City: Etheridge – Peltier, Ecuele-Manga, Sol Bamba, Bennett – Camarasa, Gunnarsson, Ralls – Paterson, Niasse, Reid

Bournemouth: Boruc – Clyne, Cook, Ake, A. Smith – Stanislas, Surman, Gosing, Fraser – Brooks, J. King
