The key stat: XI attacking output. This is where the two sides are furthest apart. It goes to Bournemouth: 2.92 to 2.08. When this gap appears, whoever fielded the greater attacking threat tends to win, in around 70% of cases. The measures below it were chosen the same way.

  • The callBournemouth to win: 56% against 20%, with the draw at 24%. Confidence fair.
  • WhyThe call rests on home advantage, the long-run strength gap and recent shots on target – the strongest pull the other way is a cup tie in the other side's legs.
