Recent form offers narrow encouragement
Both teams arrive with two wins from their last five recent matches. Bournemouth won 3-0 in their most recent outing after a 1-5 defeat before that; Sunderland also won their latest, 2-1, following a 0-2 reverse. The Cherries have drawn one of those five, while Sunderland have lost three.
A win for Bournemouth would take them to six points from seven matches, level with Sunderland's current tally but from one game more. A Sunderland victory would lift them to seven points from seven and open a three-point gap over the hosts, who would remain on three. A draw leaves Bournemouth on four points from seven and Sunderland on five from seven.
Five meetings, no pattern
The five head-to-head meetings on record contain 13 goals in total. Bournemouth have won one, lost two and drawn two, the most recent ending 1-1 in February. The market implies a 44.7 per cent chance of a home win, 27.9 per cent for Sunderland and 27.5 per cent for a draw.
