Bournemouth and Leicester City will battle for three points in the final matchday of the Premier League campaign on Sunday (May 25th). The game will be played at the Vitality Stadium.
The hosts will be aiming to bounce back from the 3-1 defeat they suffered away to Manchester City in midweek. They were two goals down at the break thanks to goals from Omar Marmoush and Bernardo Silva. Mateo Kovacic and Lewis Cook received red cards for both sides in the second half while Nico and Daniel Jebbison scored late goals at both ends.
Leicester, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a routine 2-0 home win over fellow Championship-bound team Ipswich Town. Jamie Vardy marked his final game at the King Power stadium by breaking the deadlock with a trademark finish in the 28th minute while Kasey McAteer made sure of the result in the 69th minute.

Bournemouth vs Leicester City Prediction
Bournemouth were in contention for European qualification in the home-run stage of the campaign but Andoni Iraola's side suffered a dip in form at the wrong time. A mid-table finish is their ceiling and winning four of the last five head-to-head games is a positive omen for the Cherries.
Leicester, for their part, are returning to the Championship after what has been a season to forget. The Foxes have conceded 2+ goals in 15 of their 18 away games this season but are unbeaten in their last three games, with the two wins in that run coming at home to relegated Ipswich and Southampton.
We are backing the home side to claim a comfortable victory with goals at both ends.
