Can AFCB keep the winning run going?

Bournemouth travel to Swansea next to try and keep their impressive recent winning run going. While on paper it might seem like a good venue for AFCB to try and get another win on the road, they can't take Swansea lightly, as a defeat at the Liberty stadium would put Bournemouth back in shooting range for the bottom few clubs including Swansea.
AFCB must channel their energy as Swansea are scrapping for everything.
This is one of those six pointers I suppose or, more appropriately, one of the mini league games that you really don't want to lose. Swansea's form at home is retched, but they have to win these kind of games, having not won at home since beating Huddersfield 2-0 on 14 October. Even with Tammy Abrahams in their side, the big problem for Swansea is that they are not scoring. They have managed just four goals in front of their home supporters and have a goal difference of -8.
Will AFCB fans be celebrating another big away day?
Abraham and Ayew started in the Swans last game, but Wilfried Bony did come on after half time and could start this game. The front line they have seems reasonable, but where they might also struggle is in midfield with the likes of Sam Clucas still trying to find his form since his move from Hull City.

Winning the individual battles will be the message for Bournemouth players. Do that and you'll win the match. The winning run is important to keep going now and AFCB will have to get plenty of shots in on Fabianski as he does make saves. It took Burnley seven attempts on target to get a 2-0 win in Swansea's last match, and AFCB may find it hard to create that many chances away from home.
