Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Bournemouth
Match Time & Date:
11/08/2018
10:00 AM
Prediction: 3-1
Cardiff City
Vitality Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Bournemouth and Cardiff City, who face each other on day 1 of the 2018/2019 Premier League campaign. The Cherries rolled over Olympique Marseille 5-2 in their last warm-up game and that is certainly giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the season opener. Bournemouth are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash against Cardiff City and we predict that they are going to kick off the new season in style. The Bluebirds aim to impress on their return to the English top flight, but seeing that they are not regarded as good travelers, we believe that the Cherries are going to give fans some cheer this weekend. It has to be noted that the two teams meet for the first time ever in the Premier League.

Highlighted Player (Joshua King):
Joshua King is a Norway international who plays for Premier League side Bournemouth as a striker. King was born in Oslo on January 15, 1992 and he started his career at the youth team of Romsas. In 2006 the Norwegian footballer moved to Valerenga and two years later he joined Premier League giants Manchester United. Nonetheless, he did not see any game action at Old Trafford as he was immediately sent on loan to Preston.
Joshua King played for the likes of Borussia M’gladbach, Hull City and Blackburn Rovers on loan as well before signing a permanent deal with the Riversiders in January, 2013. The pacey attacker scored only three goals in 56 appearances in the league for Blackburn Rovers, but in 2015 Bournemouth chiefs decided to bring him to Vitality Stadium.
Joshua King impressed in the 2016/2017 Premier League campaign, with the Norwegian striker scoring 16 goals in 36 appearances for the Cherries. King provided two assists for his teammates in the process as well.
Highlighted Team (Cardiff City):
Cardiff City are a Welsh football club that compete in the English second tier (Championship). In 2009 they moved from Ninian Park to Cardiff City Stadium, the venue that officially holds 33,280 spectators.
The Bluebirds played their first ever Premier League match on 18 August, 2013, but they were beaten by West Ham United (0-2) on their debut in the English top flight. However, a week later Fraizer Campbell (two goals) and Aron Gunnarson helped Cardiff City record their first ever win in the Premier League.
The Bluebirds outplayed Manchester City back then, but they eventually dropped to the Championship at the end of the season. Fellow Welsh outfit Swansea City are considered Cardiff’s fiercest rivals and the two teams take on each other in the South Wales derby.
The colour of Cardiff City’s home kit is blue, whilst they wear red shirts and shorts when playing on the travels.
