The FA Cup fifth round sees Bournemouth vs Leicester City go head-to-head at the Vitality Stadium today. Both teams will be eager to progress in the prestigious competition.
Bournemouth cruised past Swansea City 5-0 in the previous round, but their form since then has dipped. They are winless in five Premier League games, most recently falling 1-0 to Manchester City.
Leicester City booked their place in the fifth round with a 3-0 victory over Birmingham City. However, they have suffered consecutive defeats in the Championship, including a 3-1 loss at Leeds United.
This Bournemouth vs Leicester City encounter marks their first meeting in the FA Cup. Their overall head-to-head record is closely contested, with each team claiming eight wins and five draws in 21 meetings.
Bournemouth will be seeking a return to winning ways on home soil, where they boast an unbeaten record in their last six meetings against Leicester City. However, Leicester City possess a stronger squad depth and are expected to edge this contest narrowly, despite their recent struggles.
This encounter promises an exciting FA Cup battle between two teams with contrasting fortunes. Both sides will be determined to claim victory and progress to the next stage of the competition.
