Bournemouth – Hull City

Bournemouth host Hull City in what promises to be a decisive clash in the lower reaches of the table. The Cherries sit 15th with three points from four games, having failed to win yet but keeping their goal difference respectable at ‑1 after scoring six and conceding seven. Hull City, meanwhile, sit a strong third, unbeaten with eight points, two wins and two draws, and a comfortable +3 goal difference from five goals scored and just two conceded. The two sides have yet to meet this season, but Hull’s solid defensive record will test Bournemouth’s desperate search for a first victory. A win for the Cherries could lift them out of the relegation zone, while Hull will look to maintain pressure on the promotion places.
