Bournemouth is a club that has never conquered the Premier League. Its most important title is the Championship (second national division), due in 2014/15, in addition to a second position in League 1 (third division), in 2012/13. In the current season, the team has been doing a relatively good campaign, winning 20 of the 42 points played so far, thus being at the top of the table, seven points behind the first team in the European League qualifying zone. . In the last five games that Bournemouth played at home, for more than one competition, in four of them there were more than 1.5 goals. We believe that in this match, Bournemouth, by playing at home, will be able to look for their goals and thus make a more open game.

In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Wolverhampton Wanderers, by (0-2). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Brighton & Hove Albion, by (1-2).

In the current season, the team has been doing a bad campaign in this start of the national championship, conquering only 10 of the 42 points played so far, thus being at the bottom of the table, one point ahead of the relegation zone. In the last five games that Huddersfield Town played as a visitor, all for the national championship, in all there were more than 1.5 goals. We believe that in this match the Huddersfield Town will play a more open game, in which they will look for their goals and also suffer with the attacking attack.
