This weekend sees the Premier League return after the international break, and Saturday afternoon's fixtures include an intriguing-looking South Coast derby between Bournemouth and Brighton. Both sides enjoyed sensational victories in their previous Premier League games, with Brighton defeating Manchester City 2-1 at the Amex and Bournemouth winning 0-1 away at Spurs.
Despite losing key defenders such as Dean Huijsen, Milos Kerkez and Ilya Zabarnyi in the Summer, the Cherries have started the season in excellent form. They were desperately unlucky to lose 4-2 at Liverpool on opening night, before bouncing back to oust Wolves 1-0 and securing that impressive win over Tottenham.
Brighton have not been quite as impressive so far. They opened up with a disappointing 1-1 home draw against Fulham, then lost 2-0 to an inspired Everton at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium. However, the victory over Man City will have given Fabian Hürzeler's men a huge boost of confidence as they bid to improve on last season's eighth place finish.

Our Bournemouth vs Brighton Prediction
Bournemouth have done remarkably well to kick on despite the Summer loss of several key players. They look fluent in attack and, based on the early signs, we expect them to compete for the European places this season. Similarly, Brighton look equipped for another strong campaign, so we would not be surprised to see them also in the running for a top six finish. This should be a hugely entertaining game, but we cannot separate the two teams, so our prediction for AFC Bournemouth vs Brighton and Hove Albion is: Draw and both teams to score.
