Bournemouth vs Leicester City History
The Cherries have spent much of their lengthy history in the lower reaches of the English footballing pyramid. Indeed, they were in the fourth tier as recently as 2010 before storming through the Football League to break into the Premier League for the first time in 2015.
Bournemouth have had to come to terms with the fact that their home stadium is so small, which significantly restricts the club's budget, but the team’s loyal fans are among the most vocal around, making a visit to the south coast an enthralling one.
Leicester City’s 2015/16 Premier League title success was a remarkable achievement, eternally etched into the legacy of English football. The Foxes have done well to build on that unexpected triumph, winning the FA Cup in 2021.

In more recent times, the sides clashed in the 2013/14 EFL Championship. Leicester City won home & away versus Bournemouth on their way to clinching the title & automatic promotion to the Premier League.
Bournemouth & Leicester City met in the 2015/16 Premier League campaign, marking the first-ever top-flight fixture between the clubs. Both games ended all square, yet that didn’t stop the Foxes from achieving the unthinkable by lifting the Premier League trophy at the end of that particular season.
The teams played out a six-goal thriller in September 2018, ending 4-2 in favour of the Cherries. Ryan Fraser scored twice in the first half to set the hosts on their way to a four-goal lead before James Maddison & Marc Albrighton bagged consolation goals for LCFC towards the end of the 90 minutes.
The home side were once again victorious in the 2022/23 season, coming from behind to defeat Leicester City 2-1 at the Vitality Stadium. Patson Daka put the visitors in front before Philip Billing & Ryan Christie netted in quick succession to earn 3 points for the Cherries.
Bournemouth took on Leicester City in the Fifth Round of the 2024 FA Cup. The Foxes ran out 1-0 winners at the Vitality Stadium, thanks to Abdul Fatawu’s decisive goal in extra-time, although they would ultimately lose to Chelsea in the quarter-finals.
