SunSport Prediction
With Bournemouth well on form defensively in their last two games, it's possible that the travelling Stoke side will struggle to net a vital goal, comparably the Potters haven't scored in their last two games.
Without a consistent prolific goalscorer that they've needed Stoke City will need to dig deep if they are to score away from home.
Bournemouth 2-0 Stoke City
Fact Me
- This will be just the fourth meeting between Bournemouth and Stoke in the Premier League, with the Cherries getting their first win over them in this season’s reverse fixture (L2 previously).
- Stoke City have won just one of their last six away games at Bournemouth in all competitions (D2 L3), although this did come on the most recent trip (3-1 in February 2016).
- There hasn’t been a draw between Bournemouth and Stoke since October 1999 in all competitions, with the Cherries winning three and the Potters winning six of the nine meetings since.
- The eight goals scored in this fixture in the Premier League have all been registered by different players (three for Bournemouth and five for Stoke).
- The Cherries have won their last two Premier League games – they’ve not won three in a row in the competition in over a year (March 2016).
- Stoke City haven’t scored in any of their last six Premier League away games, with their goalless drought now standing four minutes shy of 10 hours (596 minutes) since Peter Crouch’s 34th minute goal at Sunderland in January.
- Josh King has scored 12 goals in his 16 Premier League appearances so far in 2017 – this tally is just three fewer than Stoke City overall (15 goals in 16 games) in 2017.
- King now has 15 goals in the Premier League this season and needs three more in 2016-17 to equal the most scored by a Norwegian player in a single PL season: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (18 in 1996-97 for Manchester United).
- Mark Hughes has overseen 149 wins as a Premier League manager and his next victory will see him become only the 7th different manager to reach 150 Premier League wins.
- Bournemouth need just one point from their remaining three games of the season to equal their points tally from 2015-16 (42). They have already won the same number of league matches as they did last term (11).
- Stoke City’s lowest points tally in a single Premier League season is 42 in 2012-13; a season that ended with Tony Pulis’ dismissal as manager. The Potters are two points off that tally with three games remaining in 2016-17 (40 points).
