With a virus having swept through the club during the Christmas and New Year period, Gary O’Neil was dealt a tough hand when it came to trying to secure results during that time. Three of the four games where the squad were affected were at Newcastle United, Chelsea and Manchester United, their solitary home fixture being against Crystal Palace on New Year’s Eve.
Bournemouth failed to score in any of those four matches, extending the recent record under O’Neil to eight defeats in 10 games and the only two wins both being against Everton. On a positive note, Bournemouth remain outside of the top-flight drop zone by one point, something which everyone at the Vitality Stadium would have taken after the early weeks of their campaign.

Despite 20 games of the Championship remaining, there is every sign that Burnley will coast to promotion, helped by a combination of their own form and the inconsistency of the teams below them.
Vincent Kompany’s side have lost just three times in all competitions this season, those defeats coming at Watford, Sheffield United and Manchester United. While that will provide Bournemouth with confidence, the Clarets have won their last six fixtures in the Championship, the last two triumphs coming at Stoke City and Swansea City respectively.

This has all the makings of being a tight match, regardless of the teams that are selected by the two managers. O’Neill will attempt to find a balance between naming a strong side and handing minutes to those who need to get back up to speed after illness. However, with Bournemouth low on confidence, we expect the visitors to edge this fixture by the odd goal in three, potentially via a late strike.
Bournemouth 2-1 Burnley, predicted by us.
