A Clash of EFL Cup Aspirants
Key Stats
– Stoke City’s away form has seen them go winless in their last seven competitive matches on the road.
– Dominic Solanke, Bournemouth’s top scorer, averages a BettingTips4You rating of 6.88, making him a player to watch.
In a highly anticipated EFL Cup third-round matchup, Bournemouth set their sights on hosting Stoke City, marking their second encounter against Championship opposition in the tournament. This clash has special significance as both sides look to build momentum amidst varied form.
Previous Encounters:
Bournemouth exhibited resilience in their five-goal thriller against Swansea City during the second round, while Stoke City displayed their might with a commanding 6-1 victory over Rotherham United. Recalling recent Premier League action, Bournemouth faced Brighton & Hove Albion, who were reeling from a Europa League defeat. Despite an initially promising start, Bournemouth couldn’t capitalise, extending their winless streak in all competitions to three games. They’re desperately trying to find form, with only a few draws against top-tier teams like Chelsea, West Ham United, and Brentford keeping them afloat.

Stoke City’s most recent outing at the bet365 Stadium against Hull City painted a bleak picture. Their performance reflected their current plight, with the team accumulating just one point from their past four Championship games. As they sit 20th in the rankings, it’s evident that their confidence has been dented.
Historical Insights:
Bournemouth’s history in the EFL Cup is chequered. They boast of three quarter-final appearances, yet memories of a recent third-round exit to Burton Albion serve as a cautionary tale. Meanwhile, Stoke City’s away record is concerning. Their track record against top-flight opposition in this competition has seen them experience several third-round exits.
In the 2021-22 Championship season, Bournemouth held the upper hand over Stoke, registering wins both at home and away. With a single loss in their last eight face-offs against Stoke, the Cherries might feel they have the psychological edge.
Team News and Lineups:
Bournemouth’s defence may face a dilemma. Following a demanding game against Brighton, Lloyd Kelly might be unavailable due to calf tightness. This could pave the way for Marcos Senesi. Stoke City has its challenges too, with injuries to key players like Tyrese Campbell and Wouter Burger, making them doubtful starters for the upcoming game.
Projected Starting XIs: Bournemouth: Radu; Smith, Senesi, Zabarnyi, Kerkez; Rothwell, Billing; Brooks, Traore, Ouattara; Semenyo. Stoke City: Bonham; Hoever, Rose, Wilmot, McNally, Johnson; Sidibe, Thompson; Laurent; Wesley, Gayle.
Predictions:
- Match Outcome Prediction: Considering Stoke’s woeful away form and Bournemouth’s need for a morale-boosting win, we predict a Bournemouth victory. Their recent encounters and the home advantage offer them a better chance, although Stoke’s unpredictable nature could provide a twist.
- Correct Score Prediction: Analysing the given data, a 2-1 victory for Bournemouth seems a plausible scoreline.
- Goalscorer Prediction: With Dominic Solanke boasting a commendable BettingTips4You rating and being the top goal scorer for Bournemouth, he’s a strong candidate to find the back of the net.
- Corner Prediction: Bournemouth average 4.2 corners per game while Stoke averages 7.1. Given their attacking intent, we can expect a total of approximately 12 corners with Stoke edging Bournemouth in this department.
