Bournemouth have a good run of games now with only Leicester and Spurs in the top half to play. But does this mean that points will be easy to pick up against the lower half teams? I don't see it that way, as there is still a big scrap for teams not to join Huddersfield and Fulham who now look destined for the drop.
Bournemouth probably just need one more win to feel they are safe from relegation fears, but if they want to challenge their best every points score they need to get to the 40-point mark as soon as possible. Playing the teams who could finish below and in and around the Cherries is ultimately going to decide where Bournemouth finish.

Just look at the way Southampton have turned over Tottenham and Cardiff stuck two goals past West Ham without reply, and Newcastle were 0-2 against Everton last weekend, before coming back for a 3-2 win. The teams down there are really giving it their all now and these are not easy games to win.

A few weeks ago, Newcastle were down near the bottom of the table but they have been revitalised and have really kicked on in 2019, and are finding it much easier to pick up points. So, Bournemouth will need to defend well against Rondón and company to hold off Newcastle. They didn't manage that earlier in the season, so the next game will be a test to see if Bournemouth have found a way to defend better against this attack.
