Saints v Bournemouth is a difficult one to call as it is their derby game and a derby game can throw up strange results

lol. I love this type of lazy analysis. I can tell you first hand from our own Derby there is very rarely a strange result. Bottom line is these bottom 8 teams are all poor with little to choose between them making the results a bit of a lottery.

I used to have a Saints season ticket back in the day as I lived down there. Portsmouth is there only true rival
 

This gives me hope for Thursday.

This league is never predictable and dogturd teams sometimes show up against form teams.

I love your interpretation of my post as 'analysis', it's a very lazy assessment of what I wrote. And if you don't understand that derby games take on a different style of football you haven't analysed many derby games. The reason you have not personally experienced many strange results is that RS have for a long time been that much better than Everton and it is more difficult to get a strange result with the gulf in quality. However, Everton do tend to raise their game against the RS and the home fans also raise their noise levels for the derby game. The fact that Bournemouth v Saints is a derby game will have an impact on the game.

Southampton v Bournemouth isn't a derby game.

I have friends of Pompey and saints, and they only despise each other regardless of currently being 2 leagues apart. They don't care about anyone else.

Bournemouth isn't a derby for Saints, only Bournemouth fans try and make it a derby. It's always been Pompey and always will be.

Single games are very difficult to predict but the league is easier to predict. It is no surprise that the bottom few teams are who they are equally it is no surprise the teams at the top. Yeah, you will get the odd anomaly but it is looking for the anomaly expecting to win games against the trend. In your example above, At the time, I think I am right in saying Liverpool hasn't won an away game this year, and nor had they scored an away goal from open play against any team in the bottom half. Maybe Bournemouth v Liverpool result wasn't as unsuspecting as you illude

If we can get within 3 points of Bournemouth it’s down to the last day, their goal difference is [Poor language removed] and Goodison would be bouncing 😁

Their fixtures before they play us:

Southampton A, Leeds H, Chelsea H, Palace A, Man Utd H

2 scenarios:

Southampton A (1) , Leeds H (1) , Chelsea H (0), Palace A (0), Man Utd H (0) - we would just need 4 points before we play them

Southampton A (0) , Leeds H (3) , Chelsea H (0), Palace A (0), Man Utd H (0) - we would just need 5 points before we play them

Not impossible.
