Shane’s Free Pick
Southampton had a great chance to pick up three points against Arsenal, but they blew it, and that is going to stick with them here. Southampton is going to really struggle to get any type of offense going, and that is going to be the difference here. AFC Bournemouth will score two or three goals and that will be the difference here. Back AFC Bournemouth on the money line.
