Bournemouth will host Burnley at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday (January 7) in the third round of the FA Cup.

The hosts will go into this game following a terrible run of performances and they sit just a point above relegation zone in their league table. With only 16 points to show for their efforts this season, Bournemouth will have a lot to worry about going into this game as they head in on the back of a 3 game losing streak. In their last 5 games, Bournemouth have only managed to secure one win, suffering 4 huge defeats in that time. Their poor condition comes as no surprise as they have gifted opponents a whopping total of 39 goals in the premier League this season, making them the worst defense in the league. And on the attack, they are just as poor. Going into this game, they will not be very confident about their chances.

Burnley, meanwhile, are enjoying life under manager Vincent Kompany and will fancy themselves as promotion favourites. They won 2-1 at Swansea City in their last game, and they will be looking for a repeat of that result here. They sit atop the EFL table with 56 points and 5 points clear of second place Sheffield United. On the attack, Burnley have been very clinical, as they have found the back of the net an impressive total of 52times, making them the best attack in their home league. On the defense, they have been very good as well, giving opponents very little to chew on.

Looking at the records have shown that Burnley have the upper hand going into this game. In the last 5 meetings between these two sides, Burnley have come out on top with 4 wins, scoring 11 goals in that time period while keeping 3 clean sheets as well. Additionally, Burnley have won seven of their last eight games across competitions. They're in a much better form than Bournemouth and should come out on top. We are backing the visitors, Burnley, here as we expect them to do enough to avoid a defeat in this match, by either securing a victory or by earning a hard fought draw.

伯恩茅斯将在周六(1月7日)的足总杯第三轮比赛中主场迎战伯恩利。

在经历了一段糟糕的表现之后，东道主将进入这场比赛，他们在积分榜上只比降级区高出一分。伯恩茅斯本赛季的努力只得到了16分，他们在这场比赛中有很多问题要担心，因为他们是在3连败的情况下进入的。在过去的5场比赛中，伯恩茅斯只取得了一场胜利，在此期间遭遇了4场惨败。他们糟糕的状态并不令人惊讶，因为他们在本赛季的英超联赛中给对手带来了惊人的39个进球，使他们成为联赛中防守最差的球队。而在进攻中，他们也一样穷。在这场比赛中，他们对自己的机会不会很有信心。

与此同时，伯恩利在孔帕尼的带领下享受着生活，他们认为自己是升级的热门。他们在上一场比赛中以2-1战胜了斯旺西城，他们将在这场比赛中寻求同样的结果。他们以56分位居EFL积分榜榜首，比第二名谢菲尔德联队高出5分。在进攻方面，伯恩利表现得非常冷静，他们总共有52次破门得分，这使他们成为主场联赛中最好的进攻。在防守端，他们也做得很好，几乎没有给对手什么可咀嚼的东西。

从记录来看，伯恩利在这场比赛中占了上风。在这两支球队最近的5次交锋中，伯恩利以4胜位居榜首，在这段时间内打入11球，同时保持了3场零封。此外，伯恩利在过去的8场比赛中赢了7场。他们的状态比伯恩茅斯好得多，应该会排名第一。我们在这里支持客队伯恩利，因为我们希望他们在这场比赛中做得足够好，避免失败，要么确保胜利，要么艰难地赢得平局。
