Bournemouth vs Burnley Prediction and Betting Tips | January 7, 2023 

Manchester United v AFC Bournemouth - Premier League
Bournemouth will host Burnley in the FA Cup on Saturday.

Bournemouth will host Burnley at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday (January 7) in the third round of the FA Cup.

The hosts have largely struggled on their return to the top flight, sitting just a point above the relegation zone. After a decent run of results in Gary O'Neil's interim spell in charge, the Cherries have lost every game since the Englishman's permanent appointment.

The most recently suffered a 3-0 defeat at in-form Manchester United. Bournemouth had picked up a 3-1 win over Yeovil Town at this stage of the competition last season and will want to repeat that result.

Burnley, meanwhile, are enjoying life under manager Vincent Kompany and will fancy themselves as promotion favourites. They won 2-1 at Swansea City in their last game, thanks to Ian Maatsen's two stunning strikes in the opening 25 minutes before Swansea bagged a consolation.

The visitors were knocked out at this stage of the FA Cup last season after a 2-1 defeat to Huddersfield Town and will hope for better luck this time.
