AFC Bournemouth vs. Leicester City 

Vitality Stadium, Bournemouth

On Sunday, May 25, 2025, AFC Bournemouth will face Leicester City in matchday 38 of the Premier League. For both teams, this will be the final match of the 2024-25 season, hosted at Vitality Stadium.

Bournemouth are unbeaten in all six of their Premier League home games against Leicester (W4 D2) and have won the last three by an aggregate score of 10-4. The Cherries will be looking to confirm this excellent record in the final match of the season.

Leicester's first Premier League win of the season came in the reverse fixture against Bournemouth. They last did the league double over the Cherries in the 2013-14 Championship campaign.

Bournemouth have lost their final game in four of their seven Premier League campaigns (W2 D1). This is the first time they're finishing a season in the top flight with a home game.

Leicester have lost their final league game in four of the last seven seasons (W2 D1), though they have won their last two as a Premier League side (vs Southampton in 2021-22 and West Ham in 2022-23).

Bournemouth have lost their last two Premier League games. They last lost three in a row last May, which were also their final three games of the 2023-24 campaign.

Bournemouth have scored 13 goals via substitutes in the Premier League this season – only Fulham (17) have netted more from the bench in the competition this term.

Bournemouth have conceded 46 goals in their 37 Premier League games this season – they had conceded at least 60 in each of their first seven campaigns in the competition. This represents a significant improvement in defensive stability.

Leicester have won two of their last three Premier League games (D1), as many as they had in their previous 26 (W2 D3 L21). They've also scored six goals across their last three league games, as many as in their previous 19.

Bournemouth have lost five of their last seven Premier League home games (W1 D1). Indeed, since the start of February only Ipswich (6) have lost more at home than the Cherries (5).

Leicester have opened the scoring in each of their last three Premier League games, as many as they had in their previous 27. They last did so in four consecutively in September/October 2022, with the fourth game in that run coming against Bournemouth.

The final duel of the season at Vitality Stadium promises an interesting clash between two teams with different trajectories at the end of the season. While the Foxes have found form in recent weeks, Bournemouth face a series of home disappointments. However, the historical record speaks clearly in favor of the home team.

DE BRUYNE'S FAREWELL TO ETIHAD FACES CHERRIES' ROAD INVINCIBILITY

Image
  May 20, 2025   Manchester City - AFC Bournemouth   Etihad Stadium, Manchester On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, Manchester City will face AFC Bournemouth in the 37th round of the Premier League. The match offers a likely farewell of the home star Kevin De Bruyne to Etihad Stadium against a team with excellent away form. Manchester City have won all seven of their Premier League home games against Bournemouth – only Arsenal (10 vs Stoke) and Manchester United (8 vs Wigan) have a better 100% home win rate against an opponent in the competition. The Citizens thus represent an insurmountable obstacle for the Cherries at their own ground. Bournemouth won the reverse fixture against Man City 2-1 in November, having been winless in their first 20 league meetings with the Citizens beforehand (D2 L18). The South England side thus achieved a historic success this season. Manchester City have won their final home league game in 10 of the last 11 seasons (D1), including each of the la...

Marks Could Be the Next Irving: NFL Draft 2025 Late-Round Gems

Image
  Bucky Irving proved last year that the fourth round can hide future stars. His 1,122 rushing yards and eight touchdowns made him the most productive rookie runner in the NFL. Now the search continues - which of this year's late picks will repeat similar success? The pattern is clear. Irving followed the path of Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City's seventh-round gem from 2022. Both had one thing in common - they weren't college superstars with astronomical numbers, but they proved efficiency and ability to maximize opportunities. Among this year's candidates, Marks from USC stands out most, selected by Houston in the fourth round. His transformation is remarkable - four years at Mississippi State never exceeded 600 yards per season, but a single season at USC brought 1,133 yards with impressive 6.8 yards per carry. Marks has an ideal situation for immediate impact. Joe Mixon ahead of him has injury history and Houston under new coordinator Nick Caley is looking for fresh b...
