4 · Results vs performance

Bournemouth's results undersell them by 6 points

Bournemouth have 11 points from their last 10 league games, but their chances were worth 17. We rate teams on their chances, so Bournemouth get more credit than their results.

5 · Head to head

Not much history to go on

All of the last 2 meetings were drawn or won by one goal. Past meetings count for little in the model.

What would change our mind

The biggest single factor is Bournemouth's attack. If Bournemouth's attack were only average, the home win chance would drop to 38%.

Verdict

Bournemouth 2–1 Leeds, home win, solid
