Struggling teams Swansea City AFC (3-5-4, 13 points) and AFC Bournemouth (2-8-2, 8 points) will meet each other at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday for a 2015-2016 Premier League matchup.
Swansea has only won once in their last eight outings, against bottom-dweller Aston Villa, which dropped them to the 14th spot in the league table after 12 games.
The Swans lost to newly-promoted team Norwich City, 0-1, at the Carrow Road on November 7th courtesy of a header from the Canaries midfielder Jonny Howson off a headed pass by forward Dieumerci Mbokani at the 70th minute, as reported by SkySports.
Garry Monk's boys actually had 67 percent of the possessions according to the after-match stats, but still they could not pull off the road victory.
Bournemouth is much worse as they had been winless in their last six matches and had only won once in their last nine.
They dropped a disappointing 0-1 home game at the Vitality Stadium against lowly team Newcastle United to drop in the bottom three of the league table, via Daily Mail Online.
Newcastle striker Ayoze Pérez scored the lone goal for Boscombe's opponents as Eddie Howe's boys lost focus at the 27th minute.
The prediction is a tough 1-0 escape for Swansea City over Bournemouth. Monk's side is expected to snap their two-game slide while delivering the Cherries to their fifth straight loss.
Swansea City starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Fabianski; Williams, Fernandez, Taylor, Naughton; Sigurdsson, Shelvey; Sung-yueng, Montero, Ayew; Gomis
Bournemouth starting lineup (4-4-1-1 formation): Federici; Daniels, Distin, Francis, Smith; Ritchie, Surman, Stanislas, Gosling; Arter; King
