Player to Watch – Dominic Solanke

Bournemouth’s slight edge in the win probability combined with Solanke’s lethal form makes them favorites, but Brighton’s past success against Bournemouth and attacking options ensure this match could be a thrilling, high-scoring affair.

With the game’s potential for numerous goals and the unpredictability of both teams’ defenses, a 2-1 win for Bournemouth is a reasonable prediction. Fans can expect a lively game at Vitality Stadium with plenty of goal-scoring opportunities.
