The Oracle weighs up the latest odds against hard data to uncover value angles for Matchday 17.</p> <h3>Form and Context</h3> <p>Bournemouth sit mid-table (13th) and still profile as a difficult home assignment: 1.88 points per game at Vitality, conceding just 0.63 per match with a 50% clean-sheet rate. Burnley are in deep trouble — 19th, seven straight defeats, and just 0.38 points per game away. Importantly, their away profile is both high-variance and high-scoring: 4.25 total goals per game with 100% of matches going Over 2.5.</p> <h3>Tactical Matchup and Flow</h3> <p>Expect Bournemouth to control territory and chances, but the game’s true edge lies after the interval. Bournemouth boast a positive second-half goal difference at home (6 scored, 3 conceded). In stark contrast, Burnley’s away second halves are chaotic: 7 scored but 14 conceded, with defensive structure unravelling late (eight goals conceded between 76–90’ away). That skew favours live Bournemouth angles and second-half markets.</p> <h3>Key Numbers That Matter</h3> <ul> <li>Bournemouth home defend leads at 80%; Burnley away equalizing rate 36% and 0.00 PPG when conceding first.</li> <li>Burnley away: 88% losses, 2.88 goals conceded per game, and 0% clean sheets.</li> <li>Burnley away both teams to score 88%; Bournemouth home BTTS just 38% — totals likely driven by Burnley’s volatility.</li> <li>Late-goal trend: Bournemouth home 76–90’ (GF 4, GA 1) vs Burnley away 76–90’ (GF 5, GA 8).</li> </ul> <h3>Players to Watch</h3> <p>For Bournemouth, Antoine Semenyo is the headline threat with seven league goals and a strong per-90 scoring rate. He’s supported by Eli Junior Kroupi and Marcus Tavernier, with Marcos Senesi’s delivery on set pieces offering another path to goal. For Burnley, Zian Flemming has been the bright spot — notably all five goals away from home — while Jaidon Anthony carries familiarity with Bournemouth’s ground and can threaten on the break.</p> <h3>Odds Analysis and Best Markets</h3> <p>The moneyline sits at 1.44 Bournemouth, essentially fair but not the best way to express the edge. The market underprices second-half superiority, where The Oracle sees the clearest value: Bournemouth to win the second half at 1.70. Given Burnley’s chronic away fade, this is an efficient route to a plus-EV position.</p> <p>Asian Handicap Bournemouth -1 at 1.73 is the next-best angle. Burnley have been beaten in 88% of away games and concede close to three goals per road match. The push on a one-goal win is important protection if Bournemouth’s attack lacks final-ball polish.</p> <p>Totals lean over thanks to Burnley’s 100% Over 2.5 away and 4.25 gpg; Over 2.5 at 1.73 is playable. The HT Draw/FT Bournemouth at 3.90 is a stylish longshot aligned with the data: both teams show a 50% HT draw rate in these splits, while Bournemouth’s second-half edge should tell.</p> <h3>Prop Market</h3> <p>Anytime goalscorer: Antoine Semenyo at 2.30 is a solid value sprinkle. His finishing form plus Burnley’s 0% away clean sheets make a compelling case; fair price sits closer to 2.10–2.20 on context.</p> <h3>Verdict</h3> <p>All roads point to Bournemouth asserting control, especially after half-time. The combination of Burnley’s away fragility, late concessions, and inability to recover from the first goal tilts the contest decisively. The Oracle’s card is built around second-half Bournemouth, a measured Asian handicap position, and totals biased to the over.</p> </body> </html>
