Bournemouth have an away game to Cardiff City in their next Championship fixture and they will be targeting a win, which could take them top of the table. The two sides face off on Saturday, with hosts Cardiff ninth on 11 points while Bournemouth are third on 15 points. Cardiff are coming from a 1-0 loss to Coventry City, their third loss in four matches and for the eighth time in nine matches, they failed in their bid to keep a clean sheet. In their six matches so far in the Championship, both sides have scored but they have two clean sheets in their last 10 league matches. Three of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they’ve managed to score two or more goals in three of their last five Championship matches. In matches against Bournemouth, Cardiff are unbeaten in three.

Bournemouth head to this game on two straight wins, the most recent a 2-1 victory over QPR. They are just a point below league leaders Fulham and their target is going top. Last season they missed out on automatic promotion despite a fine late surge and this time they’d want to do their business early enough. The loss to Brentford in the promotion playoffs is the last time they tasted defeat in the Championship. They are one of the two sides yet to taste defeat in the league this season and go to this game with two clean sheets in the last three matches. With a seven-game unbeaten run in the Championship, Bournemouth will be confident heading to this game and they’ve also been great in attack, scoring two or more in six of their last seven league games. Away from home in the Championship, they are unbeaten in their last three, winning two.
