Comments, predictions Bournemouth vs Leicester: Bitter ending for Vardy
The match between Bournemouth vs Leicester in the English Premier League takes place at 22:00 on May 25. Nghe An Newspaper analyzes performance, football commentary and predicts the score.
Latest Bournemouth vs Leicester squad information
Bournemouth will be without Enes Unal (knee), Ryan Christie (groin), Dango Ouattara (adductor) and Luis Sinisterra (thigh) through injury. Lewis Cook is suspended following his red card in the defeat to Man City.
Iraola has revealed Alex Scott and James Hill could return. Scott has returned to training wearing a protective mask after suffering a broken jaw against Aston Villa, while Hill has missed the last six games with a sore back.
This match will also be Dean Huijsen's last appearance for Bournemouth before his move to Real Madrid, while Milos Kerkez and Antoine Semenyo - both of whom have been linked with moves away - will also feature.
For Leicester, Abdul Fatawu (knee), Mads Hermansen (hernia), Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Stephy Mavididi (both muscle strains) remain absent. Jamie Vardy has decided not to play after a memorable farewell against Ipswich.
In the absence of Vardy, Patson Daka or Jordan Ayew will start as the centre-forward. Ayew played as an attacking midfielder in the previous match, so if he moves up front, Facundo Buonanotte could return to play behind the striker.
15-year-old talent Jeremy Monga is expected to start and compete with Kasey McAteer on the right wing, while Bilal El Khannouss is likely to take on the left wing role.

Latest Bournemouth vs Leicester football prediction
Bournemouth were dreaming of a first-ever European place when they finished fifth in the Premier League table at the end of February. However, a slump in form has seen their dream dashed as they have won just two of their last 12 games (D4 L6).
After a 2-1 win over Arsenal at the Emirates, Bournemouth lost to Aston Villa (0-1) and Manchester City (1-3), with defeat to City on Tuesday night ending their hopes of a top-eight finish and a place in the Conference League.
Despite having achieved the highest number of points in the club's history in the Premier League with 53 points, Andoni Iraola's team are now just trying to avoid falling out of the top half of the rankings as they are in 11th place, just 1 point behind Fulham (10th). Fulham will host Man City in the final match.
Bournemouth's home form has also been worrying. They have lost five of their last seven games at the Vitality, scoring just four goals. Since February, only relegated Ipswich have lost more home games (6).
However, Bournemouth have reason to be confident ahead of Sunday's game against Leicester as they are unbeaten in their last six Premier League meetings with the opposition (W4 D2), including three consecutive wins by an aggregate score of 10-4.
Leicester were relegated after losing to Liverpool at the end of April, and then losing to Wolverhampton – their 24th defeat of the season. However, they are on a three-game unbeaten run – their best run of the season.
As well as a 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest, Leicester have beaten Southampton and Ipswich 2-0. Retiring legend Jamie Vardy scored his 200th goal in his 500th appearance for the club against Ipswich last weekend.
Leicester will certainly finish the season in 18th place if they avoid defeat at Bournemouth, but the future of manager Ruud van Nistelrooy remains unclear, with multiple sources saying he will leave the coaching position after this season.
Leicester's first win of the season also came against Bournemouth in the first leg, and they are now aiming to complete a double over their opponents for the first time since the 2013-14 Championship season.
Leicester have lost four of their last seven games of the season (W2 D1), but have won their last two Premier League games, against Southampton (2021-22) and West Ham (2022-23) respectively.
