Bournemouth are in Championship action this midweek
Bournemouth are in Championship action this midweek

Having lost their last three Championship games, Bournemouth will be desperate to get back to winning ways when they host Sheffield Wednesday at the Vitality Stadium on Tuesday evening.

Their latest loss came on Friday night at the Madejski Stadium, when they lost 3-1 to Reading. The Cherries conceded three goals in the first half of that game. That rendered Junior Stanislas' 85th-minute goal a mere consolation.

Bournemouth are still sixth in the Championship, though, and in the playoff positions. However, Jason Tindall knows his side needs to improve to start picking up results again, with several teams breathing down their necks at the moment.

An ideal opportunity to start the turnaround comes at home on Tuesday. Sheffield Wednesday are currently 23rd in the Championship, with only Wycombe Wanderers lower than them in the standings.

However, Wednesday have won three of their last four matches in the Championship, and will be looking to take a big scalp on Tuesday.

In their last match, Wednesday beat Preston North End 1-0, with Liam Palmer scoring the only goal of the game.


Bournemouth vs Sheffield Wednesday Head-to-Head

In the reverse fixture, Sheffield United beat Bournemouth 1-0 thanks to a Barry Bannan penalty. In that game, both sides were reduced to 10 men.
