The crushing defeat of the Burnley in the last round (0: 3) clearly showed that the Bournemouth is not the same. The team of Eddie Howe is not just a normal recession, the Cherries have deeper problems. Perhaps the rivals have adapted to the Bournemouth game, or maybe the players have lost motivation, as the club is floundering in the same place. According to the results of the tour, Cherries remained on the 16th line, since all competitors also lost. In the last ten matches in the Premier League, Bournemouth has won only twice. Both Cherries won in the last five meetings, defeating Brighton (3: 1) and Aston Villa (2: 1). Other results were far less reassuring. The Howe team lost to Norwich (0: 1), Sheffield (1: 2) and Burnley (0: 3). With representatives of the top six Bournemouth at home in this championship earned four points. Cherries tied with Arsenal (1: 1) and defeated Manchester United (1: 0). Bournemouth lost to Manchester City (1: 3), and Liverpool (0: 3). Away, the Howe team sensationally defeated just Chelsea (1-0). Bournemouth no longer has serious personnel losses. In the infirmary near the “Cherries” are Chris Mepham, Arno Danjuma, Charlie Daniels, Lloyd Kelly and David Brooks. The participation of Jefferson Lerma is in doubt.
Shakhtar spent their debut match in the Ukrainian Premier League on Sunday and the team’s fans had to be nervous. Despite the complete dominance of the field and according to all statistical indicators, the Orange-Blacks could not break through the defense of the Chernihiv team for 95 minutes. Only in the last seconds of the meeting, Marlos brought another victory, which became the 17th in 19 games, and the gap of 14 points from the second Dynamo was preserved. In the first match of the Europa League, it is worth noting beautiful goals from Alan Patrick and Kovalenko scored after excellent combinations worthy of football textbooks, as well as the correct game of the Donetsk team players who did not receive a single yellow card and justified our predction for the game. In today’s match Dentinho and Solomon will not be able to enter the field.
