Bournemouth vs Leeds prediction 22.04.2026 | Premier League

Bournemouth have another excellent season. They are the top-half team that could qualify for playing in Europe for the first time in their history. Andoni Iraola's team shares ambitions for the Europa League with a few more teams and will have to maintain their best form to have a chance of fulfilling their dreams. Bournemouth are in an excellent streak of 12 games without defeat. In the most recent outing, they won 2-1 on the road against Newcastle. The visitors ended with an impressive xG of 2.98, while limiting the hosts to only 1.59. 

Bournemouth have a historic 2025/26 season, but the big changes are coming soon, as the manager, Andoni Iraola, announced that he will leave the club in the coming weeks. According to reports, the primary candidate to replace him in Bournemouth is former RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund's head coach Marco Rose. 

Bournemouth have almost a full squad available. Justin Kluivert and Lewis Cook are unavailable for Wednesday, while Julio Soler is questionable and his status will be clearer closer to the kickoff. 

Leeds are close to securing another year in the Premier League. They are eight points above the relegation zone and need one or two more wins to fulfill their primary goal. Leeds are in excellent form, too. Daniel Farke's team are unbeaten in the last six matches across all competitions. In the previous game, they won 3-0 at home against Wolverhampton. The hosts controlled almost the entire match, and their victory was never in doubt.

After a victory in the previous league round, Leeds' manager, Daniel Farke, talked about his team's chances of surviving in the competition. He said, "It's a fantastic position to be in, but the feeling is we probably need to win one or a few more points; we'll stay focused and want to win one or a few more points as soon as possible to have it mathematically done."

Daniel James and Anton Stach are injured and will not travel to Bournemouth.
