Bournemouth vs Brighton – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Bournemouth return to the Vitality Stadium with renewed purpose after an impressive start to the season.

The Cherries bounced back from an opening-day defeat with two consecutive victories, including a notable win away at Tottenham.

They now face a tough test against their south coast rivals, Brighton, a team that has dominated this fixture in recent years. Therefore, this match is a key opportunity for Andoni Iraola’s side to end that poor run and prove their resilience.

Bournemouth team news

Andoni Iraola’s preparations are affected by a couple of key injuries. He will certainly be without striker Enes Ünal, who is recovering from a knee problem. In addition, experienced defender Adam Smith is sidelined with a hamstring issue, while Julian Araujo is available again after suspension and could slot in at right-back.

The attack, meanwhile, is full of confidence. New signing Evanilson will continue to lead the line after scoring the winning goal against Spurs.

He will be supported by a creative unit in excellent form, like David Brooks, who created the most big chances in the Premier League so far this season. Furthermore, the Cherries will look to the dynamic Antoine Semenyo and Marcus Tavernier to provide a threat from the wide areas.
