Swansea City vs Bournemouth Prediction

Swansea City have played some attractive football under the management of Steve Cooper. Attacker Andre Ayew has been leading the line with purpose, while Jake Bidwell and Marc Guehi have been in fine form as well.

Bournemouth, on the other hand, may have lost key players in the summer, but they sit second in the league table. Manager Jason Tindall has done a good job of replacing Eddie Howe, with the likes of Dominic Solanke and Arnaut Danjuma impressing.

A close match is on the cards, and a goalscoring draw is a likely result.

Prediction: Swansea City 2-2 Bournemouth
