What an interesting match up we've got here folks! Bournemouth vs Leicester City. Hold on to your purses and wallets, because this is bound to get interesting.
On the goalkeeper front, Bournemouth has Kepa Arrizabalaga who is bringing a solid 7.07 rating and a generous helping of 12 saves to the table. Meanwhile, Leicester City is boasting Jakub Stolarczyk with a 6.77 rating and 6 saves and Mads Hermansen with a 6.10 rating and 2 saves. So far, so good fellas.
Top players for Leicester City have been showing off some solid numbers. Conor Coady and Jamie Vardy have been on fire with a rating of 7.10 and 7.15 respectively, and both delivering goals. Facundo Buonanotte is also someone to keep an eye on with a rating of 7.25 and 1 goal under his belt. Bilal El Khannouss isn't faring too bad either with a rating of 7.30. Maybe they light candles before each match? That's what I would do.
Bournemouth hasn't been twiddling their thumbs either with top players like Dango Ouattara hitting a 7.20 rating and Dean Huijsen delivering a 7.05 rating and a goal. Something must be in the water on the Bournemouth side, it's got their team members like Illia Zabarnyi maintaining a steady rating of 6.93.
Past matchups between these two seem like they've been pretty neck and neck. It's like a dance, one wins and they pass the victory over to the other. Could be anybody's game this time.
Leicester City doesn't have the most confidence boosting season record with 6 wins, 7 draws, and a whopping 24 losses. Ouch, it hurts to say that out loud. On the other hand, Bournemouth seems to have kept a steadier ship with a record of 14 wins, 11 draws, and 12 losses.
Looking at recent results, Leicester City delivered a mix of victories and losses, but Bournemouth has managed to bring in some more consistent performances. They must have had their Weetabix.
So, taking all these elements into account, it looks like a pretty tight race.
After all the number crunching and some minor internal debate, here is my prediction.
