Latest football commentary Bournemouth vs Bristol City

Bournemouth had a successful 2024–25 Premier League season, winning 56 points – the highest in the club's history – and winning 15 out of 38 matches, thereby finishing in 9th place, the team's best result in the English top flight.

However, the Cherries have run out of steam towards the end of the season and failed to qualify for Europe. Manager Andoni Iraola is aiming to build a squad capable of competing in the top seven in 2025–26, although he will be without Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez – two players who were sold earlier in the summer.

Bournemouth kicked off their pre-season with a 2-1 win over Scottish club Hibernian in a behind-closed-doors friendly at their training ground, with Philip Billing and Romain Faivre on target.

The club, who have beaten Bristol City in all four of their previous competitive meetings, will continue their journey with a friendly against the Robins on Saturday, before travelling to the United States for the Premier League Summer Series against Everton, Manchester United and West Ham United.

Coach Iraola and his players will then return to Vitality Stadium to host Real Sociedad (La Liga) in a final friendly, before traveling to Anfield to meet defending champions Liverpool in the opening match of the 2025–26 Premier League on August 15.

Bristol City had a promising 2024–25 season, but it ended badly as the team finished sixth in the Championship – their highest position in a decade – before being knocked out of the play-off semi-finals by Sheffield United 6-0 on aggregate.

Bristol City then parted company with manager Liam Manning – who moved to his hometown club Norwich City – and appointed Gerhard Struber, former Barnsley, Red Bull Salzburg and FC Köln boss, on a three-year contract.

Struber admits he is “not a dreamer”, but the 48-year-old arrives at Ashton Gate with big expectations, believing his new side are “ready for the next step”. The club have signed four new players this summer.

Bristol City's first team have completed a week-long pre-season training camp in Portugal, ending with a behind-closed-doors friendly against a local side.

Following the trip to Bournemouth on Saturday, the team will play friendlies against Newport County, Cheltenham Town, Plymouth Argyle and Real Valladolid, before beginning their 2025–26 Championship campaign with a rematch against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on 9 August.
