How to Watch
How to Watch Bournemouth vs Leeds United
Bournemouth vs Leeds United kicks off at 3:00pm on Saturday 31 October at the Vitality Stadium.
As a Saturday 3pm kick-off, it falls inside the UK blackout, so there is no live broadcast. Highlights follow on Match of the Day.
It isn't Premier Sports' Saturday 3pm pick in Ireland this week either, with Manchester City vs Brighton taking that slot.
Head-to-Head
Bournemouth vs Leeds United Head-to-Head
Leeds United have had the better of this fixture down the years. Across 17 meetings, according to 11v11, the Whites have won 11, Bournemouth have won two and four have finished level.
The Premier League record is a lot tighter – four meetings, one win apiece and two draws.
The last two were both 2-2, and both went to the wire. Eli Junior Kroupi volleyed a 93rd-minute equaliser at Elland Road in September 2025.
Leeds United returned the favour in April. Bournemouth led 2-1 through Kroupi and Rayan, before Sean Longstaff struck in the seventh minute of stoppage time to earn a point.
The south coast has been kind to the Whites, too. They have won three of their eight visits in all competitions, drawn three and lost just two.
Leeds United haven’t won there since a 3-1 Championship success in September 2014 – a wait that is there to be ended.
Team News
Bournemouth vs Leeds United Team News
Bournemouth Team News
Marco Rose is without Alex Scott, who picked up a thigh injury on England duty earlier this month and faces around two months out.
Alex Tóth limped off with a hamstring problem against AC Milan, while Julián Araujo and Veljko Milosavljević are also sidelined.
The big boost is Eli Junior Kroupi. The forward, who scored 13 league goals last season, is back after summer foot surgery and has come off the bench in each of the last two games as Rose builds his minutes.
Leeds United Team News
Daniel Farke will be glad to welcome Nico Elvedi back after illness kept him out at the Stadium of Light.
Anton Stach and Noah Okafor both shook off knocks to make the bench last weekend, and both came on in the second half.
Joe Rodon is closing in on a return from his hamstring problem, with Daniel James also pushing to be involved after a back issue. Mateo Joseph remains a longer-term absentee.
Neither side has a player suspended.
Predicted Line-Ups
Bournemouth vs Leeds United Predicted Line-Ups
Bournemouth predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Petrović; Smith, Hill, Silva, Truffert; Adams, Cook; Kluivert, Tavernier, Rayan; Evanilson.
Leeds United predicted XI (3-4-2-1): Trafford; Justin, Elvedi, Muharemović; Bogle, Ampadu, Tanaka, Gudmundsson; Wilson, Aaronson; Calvert-Lewin.
Rose rotated heavily for the Carabao Cup win over Aston Villa, so expect the side that won at Old Trafford to return. Kroupi is the obvious choice from the bench, with Alex Scott still missing in midfield.
Leeds United should look much like the side that drew at Sunderland, with Elvedi back in for Jaka Bijol.
The genuine call is in the two behind Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Harry Wilson and Brenden Aaronson started at the Stadium of Light, but Stach and Okafor started the two games before it.
Form Guides
Bournemouth vs Leeds United Form Guides
Bournemouth Form Guide
Bournemouth took a while to warm up under Rose, going through their first six league games without a win.
The Sunderland win on 18 October changed everything. It was their first Premier League victory since May, and they haven't stopped winning since.
Manchester United were beaten 3-0 at Old Trafford last Sunday through Rayan, Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson.
Add in Europa League wins over Sturm Graz and AC Milan, plus Wednesday's 3-0 against Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup, and that is five straight wins with 14 goals scored, and none conceded.
Tavernier has been the driving force, with five league goals in eight games. Evanilson has scored in each of the last three league games.
The league picture is still catching up. The Cherries sit 13th on nine points, and they have won just one of their four home league games.
Saturday will also be their seventh game of October.
Leeds United Form Guide
Leeds United have been one of the hardest sides in the division to beat.
One defeat in eight league games, 11 points and seventh place – and that one loss came away at Arsenal, after James Justin had put the Whites in front at the Emirates Stadium.
The defence is the foundation. Six goals conceded is their fewest at this stage of a Premier League season since 2001-02, per 11v11, and James Trafford has started every league game.
Sunday's 0-0 at the Stadium of Light brought a third league clean sheet, earned in storm conditions after a disrupted week.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin carries the goal threat. He has four league goals, including two in the 4-1 win over Newcastle United and the equaliser against Manchester United.
Freshness could be a real edge here. Farke's side haven't played midweek since 9 September, and this will be only their fourth game of the month.
Betting Tips
Bournemouth vs Leeds United Betting Tips
Dominic Calvert-Lewin Anytime Goalscorer – 6/4
Calvert-Lewin has scored four of Leeds United's nine league goals, and he will be facing a Bournemouth side that conceded 13 times in its first eight league games.
Draw – 12/5
Leeds United have drawn five of their eight league games, including three of their last four. The last two meetings with Bournemouth both finished level, and the Cherries have drawn two of their four home league games.
Marcus Tavernier Anytime Goalscorer – 2/1
Tavernier has scored in five of Bournemouth's eight league games, including both of their wins, and he is on penalty duty too – he scored from the spot against AC Milan last week.
Match Prediction
Bournemouth vs Leeds United Prediction
Bournemouth 1-1 Leeds United.
Bournemouth arrive in the form of their season, but the legs have done a lot of work this month.
Leeds United have the fresher squad and the stingier defence, and this fixture has a habit of ending all square.
