Bournemouth Stats & Team News
- Overall Record: 11-15-7
- Home Record: 6-8-2
- Road Record: 5-7-5
- Top Goal Scorer: Junior Kroupi (10)
Any fears that Andoni Iraola’s announcement that he would depart the Cherries at the end of the season would disrupt their campaign have quickly been dismissed. Bournemouth sit sixth in the EPL standings, and could move to within three points of the Champions League places if they land a third straight victory on Wednesday.
The Cherries have lost just once in 2026, but they have played out draws in their previous four at the Vitality Stadium. Junior Kroupi has been one of the standout stars of the season, and the talented teenager scored in his previous appearance against Leeds earlier this term.
Team News:
Julio Soler (Thigh), Lewis Cook (Thigh), Justin Kluivert (Knee)
Likely Line-Up:
(4-2-3-1): Petrovic (GK); Jimenez, Hill, Senesi, Truffert; Christie, Scott; Rayan, Kroupi, Tavernier; Evanilson

- Home Record: 7-5-5
- Road Record: 2-7-7
- Top Goal Scorer: Dominic Calvert-Lewin (11)
Daniel Farke deserves huge credit for the job that he has done at Leeds. The Whites could move past the magical 40-point mark with at least a point on Wednesday, and their recent form has been very consistent.
Leeds have recorded wins in back-to-back rounds, and they have avoided defeat in their previous four. On the road, Leeds have improved massively since the turn of the year, avoiding defeat in their last eight in all competitions. In fact, the Whites haven’t enjoyed a long unbeaten run on their travels since January 1979.
Team News:
Daniel James (Groin), Anton Stach (Ankle)
Likely Line-Up:
(3-4-2-1): Darlow (GK); Justin, Bijol, Struijk; Bogle, Ampadu, Tanaka, Gudmundsson; Aaronson, Okafor; Calvert-Lewin
Bournemouth vs. Leeds Prop Pick
Noah Okafor has been in excellent scoring form for Leeds, with the forward scoring in each of his last two appearances. He has been a key figure in away league wins for the Whites in 2025-26, with the forward scoring in both of their victories on the road.
Head-to-Head Trends
- Bournemouth have picked up four points from their last three league matches against Leeds.
- Leeds have suffered just two defeats in their previous 15 league encounters against Bournemouth.
Bournemouth vs. Leeds Picks
Both of these teams come into this round in excellent recent form. However, the upturn in away form, and Leeds United’s excellent head-to-head record against the Cherries, indicate that there could be good value in siding with the points being shared.
