Don't expect a high scoring affair for AFCB v Swansea City

The last home match for AFCB this season against Swansea is huge for both clubs but while they will both chuck everything into this game, it doesn't look like being a high scoring affair. Bournemouth have scored 42 goals this season at an average of just 1.16 goals per game, while Swansea City are struggling to find the net with 27 goals and an average of 0.77 goals a game.

The Cherries need to find their home form to get safe
because leaving it to the last game of the season could still spell relegation.
While Swansea City have let in 51 goals this season it is better than AFCB who have conceded 60 goals. Both teams are more used to drawing or losing games and while AFCB have been the more creative side with 388 chances at an average of 10.78 chances per game, AFCB need 9.02 chance before they score, StrataBet calcucates. 

Swansea City may have only created 271 chances in their games or 7.74 chances per game, but they only need 9.34 chances to score a goal. So there isn't much between the two teams in their goal getting power and the Cherries with four goals from their last five him matches are finding it difficult to score two goals at Dean Court at the moment. Swansea have been well out of form in away games with just two goals from their last five away games. I'm beginning to feel this match could be last on Match of the Day if it wasn't for the importance of the result.

Despite not winning since March, Carlos Carvalhal insists his side were unlucky not to get something against Chelsea and that they fancy their chances in their next three games to get the points they need. 

Brighton's win against Man Utd last night has made it clear how close AFCB are to the trap door. Eddie Howe will need to find some sharper shooting to ensure that AFCB get the points they need, because if they don't score two goals in this match the indications are that Swansea will get at least one goal and a share of the points if not better.
