Saints predicted team as Juric prepares for ‘must win’ game against Bournemouth

An assessment of Southampton’s local rivals Bournemouth before of the Premier League clash.

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola recently said that the Cherries will welcome the injured duo

ahead of the upcoming Premier League encounter. Given Bournemouth’s recent top-flight success, Iraola may have been at ease about the Southampton encounter.

Well, he and Bournemouth understand that this is a rivalry, and it’s against a team that has won its previous Premier League game. Many fans would claim that Southampton has been a disorganised

team throughout the season.

Agreed, but a chaotic period allowed them to leapfrog relegation rivals Ipswich Town in their

backyard. As a result, Southampton fans should not count out a positive outcome here simply

because they have been blown away by the Cherries’ Premier League performance.

Without a doubt, they have surprised several of the Big Six Premier League teams. Wins over Arsenal, Manchester City, and Manchester United are enough to validate their position in the top half of the table.

While Andoni Iraola has played a significant role, the entire Bournemouth squad has performed

above expectations. Players like Antoine Semenyo, Dean Huijsen, and Milos Kerkez, who make up the visitors’ core lineup, have been shining brightly.

Furthermore, Southampton fans do not need a reminder of the recent derby match. The former

scored against them, while the subsequent two did not, allowing the Saints to get back into the game.

Let’s hope Southampton comes away with at least one vital point from St. Mary’s.
