Bournemouth are set to play Leicester City at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday in the English Premier League.
Bournemouth come into this game on the back of a 0-0 draw against Thomas Frank's Brentford in their most recent game. Brentford boasted more shots on target but were unable to break through Bournemouth's defense.
Leicester City, on the other hand, beat Steve Cooper's Nottingham Forest 4-0 in the league. A first-half brace from midfielder James Maddison and goals from winger Harvey Barnes and Zambian striker Patson Daka sealed the win for Brendan Rodgers' Leicester City.

Bournemouth vs Leicester City Prediction
Bournemouth are currently 13th in the league and have won only one of their last five league games. The club sacked Scott Parker in August after a 9-0 loss to Liverpool, but since then, interim manager Gary O'Neil has managed to provide some stability.
The Cherries were criticized for their lack of action during the summer transfer window, and many continue to believe that Bournemouth will finish in the bottom three this season. It will be interesting to see whether the club appoints O'Neil on a permanent basis or searches elsewhere.
Leicester City, on the other hand, are currently 19th in the league, and have won only one game so far. Manager Brendan Rodgers has been under intense pressure after an extremely poor start to the season, and the win over Nottingham Forest will lift the malaise around the club, albeit only slightly.
Like Bournemouth, Leicester City did not enjoy the best of the transfer window, and it was further exacerbated by the sale of star centre-back Wesley Fofana to Chelsea. The only major positive will be the form of James Maddison, who has arguably been the one positive light for the Foxes this season.
Leicester City will be confident after their recent win and should find another victory here.
