AFC Bournemouth Odds
After their initial promotion to the Premier League in 2015, Bournemouth have been a consistent in the division. From the wins over Chelsea and Manchester United in their opening season to what they hope to be a consistent spot in the division going forward. In 2024, they started off by doing themselves no favours by picking up just three points in their first nine games, this included defeats to Everton and Wolverhampton Wanderers. However, the club ended up being closer to the European positions than relegation as the club dreamed about the possibility of bringing European football to the Vitality Stadium.
AFC Bournemouth Match Betting Odds
When betting on Bournemouth, it's important to note how they have performed since their manager took over. In this case, Andoni Iraola has taken over and the Cherries now play a much more expansive style of football, leading to more goals both for and against. This makes the club better in regards to placing a bet on over 2.5 goals or the Both Teams to Score market on our sportsbook.
In previous years, Bournemouth have been known as a team that ships a lot of goals at the Vitality Stadium but less-so away from home. They have likely hit their target of goals scored over the course of the season with a number of high scoring matches.
With Bournemouth's new style of play comes different styles of results, for example, in the 2023/24 season, Bournemouth got results against Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Manchester United and Chelsea while losing to Luton Town, Everton and failing to beat Sheffield United at home.
AFC Bournemouth Transfer Betting
If we're honest, when we look at betting on football transfers, AFC Bournemouth aren't usually the first names mentioned for players. However, that could change in the upcoming windows, with an ageing backline that includes the likes of Captain Neto and Vice-Captain Adam Smith, we might see some big signings to go alongside the youngsters that were signing in previous seasons.
In previous windows, the likes of Marcos Senesi, Illya Zabarnyi and Hamed Traore have been signed from foreign clubs and have been surprise signings for the Cherries, don't discount the pull that the club has and with the current play style alongside additional opportunities to qualify for Europe, the club looks an exciting prospect for future seasons, especially with star striker Dominic Solanke up-front. Solanke himself is linked with moves to other Premier League clubs but we believe the best bets are for him to stay at the Cherries in future years.
Betting on Bournemouth in Domestic Cups
AFC Bournemouth have never made it beyond the quarter-final stage of the EFL Cup or the FA Cup. They have made the quarter finals on four occasions. However, on three of those occasions, they have fallen to Chelsea or Liverpool, on their most recent visit in 2021, they lost 0-3 at home to local rivals Southampton.
Bournemouth are a side that don't tend to put out weakened squads for Cup games but now that their squad depth has improved, we might see that change and the AFC Bournemouth odds for games against lower league sides in the UK may decline but for now, Bournemouth are usually a good team to back in the earliest rounds of the competition.
