AFC Bournemouth has been averaging at least 2 goals in their recent matches against Russell Martin's team, suggesting that they may have the upper hand when it comes to finding the back of the net. Betting on X2, indicating a possible win or draw for Southampton, could be a wise choice given the past performances of the two teams.
In terms of current form, the home team appears to be in a more favorable position to secure a positive result. However, Southampton also has a good chance of coming away with all three points, particularly as AFC Bournemouth has shown vulnerabilities in defense, even when playing at home.
On the other hand, Southampton has struggled defensively in away matches, which could provide an opportunity for AFC Bournemouth to capitalize on and score goals. Past head-to-head matchups have seen 2 wins for the home team, no draws, and 3 wins for the away team, indicating that the outcome of the match is far from certain.
AFC Bournemouth, managed by Andoni Iraola, has been averaging 1 goal per match, while Southampton, under the guidance of Russell Martin, has been scoring an average of 0.4 goals per match. This suggests that AFC Bournemouth may have a slight advantage in terms of attacking prowess, but Southampton cannot be underestimated, especially if they can exploit any defensive weaknesses in the home team.
