This week’s fascinating match analysis
The match between Bournemouth and Burnley became a tense confrontation. Despite a lackluster start, Bournemouth under manager Andoni Iraola have been relentless in their efforts to turn things around. However, Burnley did not falter.
In the latest match, Bournemouth had a strong rise when scoring against Wolves in the 17th minute, thanks to Dominic Solanke’s strike. However, the joy only lasted for a split second when the Wolves’ Matheus Cunha equalized. The real shock came in the 54th minute when Bournemouth’s Lewis Cook was fouled and disqualified. This key number earned the Wolves the winning goal in the 88th minute through Sasa Kalajdzic’s strike.
This defeat means Bournemouth will continue to face a lot of difficulties this new season.
To this point in the season, no Premier League side has dropped more points than Bournemouth (11). Bournemouth and Sheffield United are two teams yet to win in the top flight of English football this season, and Bournemouth have failed in all four of their last matches. The poor results have left the London side 19th in the table, just two points behind Luton Town.
It appears that manager Iraola is running out of time to turn Bournemouth’s fortunes around, with reports suggesting he could be sacked if he does not quickly change the situation. After the loss to Wolves, Bournemouth continue to play at home, and this time they will host newcomers Burnley in the 10th round of the 2023–24 Premier League. The Bournemouth vs. Burnley match preview is a bit real on the home side’s side, and they have to work hard to get three points.
If he fails to win, the likelihood that Iraola will be fired is high. Keep in mind that after the game against Burnley, Bournemouth will face Liverpool, Manchester City, and Newcastle United, respectively. Obviously, the match in round 10 will be Iraola’s last chance to salvage his situation. The history of the confrontation shows that superiority belongs entirely to the visitors. According to the data, Bournemouth have lost six of their last eight matches against Burnley in the Premier League and have not won any points in their last four encounters with the London side.
As previously mentioned, Burnley’s head-to-head record against Bournemouth is outstanding. This team has won three times away at the opponent’s ground in the Premier League. Only United (5 games between 1914 and 1921) and Blackburn Rovers (4 games between 1962 and 1966) had a longer consecutive winning streak away from home in the English top football league.
On the force front, Bournemouth will face midfielder Lewis Cook being banned for three matches after receiving a red card against Wolves. At the same time, Tyler Adams (thigh), Ryan Fredericks (calf), and Emiliano Marcondes (ankle) were also unable to play due to injury. Therefore, Joe Rothwell is seen as the leading candidate to replace Cook in central midfield. Meanwhile, Max Aaro, Illia Zabarnyi, Lloyd Kelly, and Milos Kerkez will shoulder the duties in defense.
Opposite Bournemouth is Burnley, where Roberts will be out for one game after being suspended for being sent off at the weekend. Michael Obafemi and Jordan Beyer also remain in the treatment room due to injuries. Although Hjalmar Ekdal (knee), Manuel Benson (ankle), and Johann Berg Gudmundsson (calf) are likely to return soon, the game against Bournemouth was too urgent for them to recover.
Vitinho suffered a defeat against Brentford and was unable to play, but the Brazilian could be brought on this weekend to replace Roberts at right back. He will be placed alongside Ameen Al-Dakhil, Dara O’Shea, and Charlie Taylor in defense. It is likely that Kompany will consider a change in midfield. Josh Brownhill, Jack Cork, Aaron Ramsey, and Han-Noah Massengo are vying for the starting spot alongside Sander Berge and Josh Cullen.
A preview of the match between Bournemouth and Burnley
Despite being slightly outclassed by home advantage, Burnley were completely superior to Bournemouth in head-to-head results.

Based on the balance of forces, field advantage, performance, and results encountered, there is a high probability that this match will end in a draw.
In addition, this match is also expected to have many goals. Statistics show that in the last 10 matches between the two teams, up to 8 matcheshad had a total number of goals exceeding 2. Both Bournemouth and Burnley have also scored at least three goals in their last three matches.
