Bournemouth vs. Swansea live stream: Watch Premier League online
By Adam Stocker
Bournemouth face Swansea at Vitality Stadium on March 18. Here is all the info you need to watch.
Bournemouth and Swansea have been trending in opposite directions the entire season. Swansea got off to an awful start and found themselves in a relegation battle. Bournemouth got off to a typical start for a mid-table team. When Swansea’s lucky began to change, the team started to turn their season around. Around the same time, Bournemouth went on a losing streak. Entering Saturday’s game, three points separate 14th-place Bournemouth and 16th-place Swansea City.
Swansea’s decision to fire manager Bob Bradley and replace him with Paul Clement has paid off for the club. Since Clement took over on Jan. 3, Swansea have won five of nine games and gotten out of the bottom three.
If Swansea want to remain out of the drop zone, they need to convert more opportunities that are created by Icelandic midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson. Had the Swans finished some of the chances created by Sigurdsson last week against Hull, they likely would have walked away with at least a point.
Under Clement, Fernando Llorente has started to find the back of the net more often. Llorente has scored three goals in the past three games and has 11 in 24 appearances this season.
Bournemouth have collapsed since the calendar turned to 2017. Bournemouth’s only win in 2017 came last week when Norwegian striker Joshua King scored three goals to lead Bournemouth past West Ham 3-2. King has scored 11 times this season for the Cherries.
Outside of last week’s win, 2017 has been a disaster for the Cherries. Eddie Howe’s team have earned six of a possible 27 points and dropped down the table. If Bournemouth can’t turn around their season they will finish in the bottom three and find themselves playing in the Championship next year.
