Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Vitality Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Bournemouth and Brighton. The Cherries aim to recover from a 3-2 loss to Brentford and they are surely capable of making life difficult for the Seagulls in front of home fans. A man to watch in the home team will be pacey winger Antoine Semenyo, who is enjoying a very successful Premier League campaign, while Ryan Christie serves a one-game ban.
Colombia international Luis Sinisterra misses out with a hamstring problem, while Dango Ouattara should be fit for Saturday’s clash. Brighton, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over reigning champions Manchester City. As Fabian Hurzeler’s troops should stick to their attacking style of play, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. All Solly March, Adam Webster, Lewis Dunk, and Yankuba Minteh are rated doubtful for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Joel Veltman):
Joel Veltman is a Dutch footballer who was born in Velsen on 15 January, 1992. Veltman started his youth career at VV Ijmuiden and in 2011 he was spotted by Ajax scouts. In the 2012/2013 Eredivisie campaign he played for the first team and he made seven league appearances for the Amsterdammers back then.
The centre back, who plays as a right back as well made six appearances for Jong Ajax as well, scoring one goal for the team in the Eerste Divisie. Veltman has 8 caps for Netherlands U20 team and he made his debut for the first team in November 2013 against Colombia. He started the match and he played 90 minutes in the goalless draw with the South American side.
Joel Veltman represented the Oranje at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. It has to be noted that the Dutch defender made 34 league appearances for Ajax in the 2015/2016 Eredivisie campaign, scoring one goal in the process. In the 2013/2014 season he won his second Eredivisie trophy with Ajax.
Highlighted Team (Bournemouth):
Bournemouth are a professional football club that was formed back in 1890. The Cherries secured promotion to the Premier League in the 2015/2016 season, with the team making it to the English top flight for the first time ever.
Bournemouth play their home games at Dean Court and the capacity of the stadium is 11,469.
The Cherries enjoyed a very successful season on their Premier League debut, with the team beating the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United in the national championship. Glenn Murray scored the winner for Bournemouth in the 1-0 win over the capital club at Stamford Bridge and that is probably the greatest victory in the club’s history.
Bournemouth have been participating in the FA Cup since 1913, but they have yet to win the trophy in the prestigious competition. It has to be noted that the club’s original name Boscombe Athletic Football Club was changed to Bournemouth back in 1923 as the club owners wanted the Cherries to be more representative of the district.
