Before you lock in your Southampton vs. Bournemouth picks or Premier League predictions, you need to see what proven soccer expert Martin Green has to say.
After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Last year he was profitable in multiple areas on his soccer picks, including Euro qualifying (+6.30 units), the EFL Cup (+4.47), the FA Cup (+3.07) and the Champions League (+3.05) among others.
The expert is knows Bournemouth has been on the rise since making it back to the EPL two seasons ago. They avoided dropping back to the EFL Championship after finishing 15th last season and got off to a solid start in 2024-25, taking five points from their first three matches. They've lost a little bit of momentum with losses to Liverpool and Chelsea, but those are mammoth clubs with huge talent advantages and Bournemouth will be looking to surge back towards the top half with a win on Monday.
Green also points out there is hope for the Saints despite their inconsistent start to the season. Southampton finished last in the EPL in 2022-23 to end a successful 11-year stay in England's top flight but rebounded to earn promotion last season. The Saints finally earned a point in their last match against Ipswich Town, though a stoppage-time goal surrendered made it feel like two points squandered. However, expect them to get up for a big match against a rival.
