Bournemouth have managed to avoid relegation battles in their two seasons in the Premier League but third time around it's not looking so good. Four league games have produced a quartet of defeats with just one goal scored and eight conceded.  This is the first of two home games against Brighton and Hove Albion inside five days as they also meet in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday. Bournemouth will want a win in this game far more than that cup game as they start the weekend one from bottom with only Crystal Palace below them. Their first point should have arrived in their last home game against Manchester City but a last gasp Raheem Sterling goal ruined that. Last week saw them lose heavily at Arsenal so a better performance has to be achieved here. Brighton and Hove Albion are 14th in the table with four points from their four games and they all come from their last two games with a draw at Watford and a first Premier League win at home to West Brom. Bournemouth have a good record against Brighton with no defeats in their last six games against their south coast rivals. A bet on under 2.5 goals looks to be the one to go for here.
