Bournemouth vs Southampton Head-to-Head

There is very little history between these two sides, with only a handful of meetings behind them. The first-ever clash between Bournemouth & Southampton took place in November 1953, in the First Round of the FA Cup. That same year the teams contested a league fixture for the first time, with both of them playing in the old Third Division at the time.

From 1961-2014 the clubs were limited to just five encounters against one another, mostly in the League Cup. The 2015/16 season saw Bournemouth take on Southampton in a top-flight fixture for the very first time, just four years after they shared a pitch in the third tier of English football.

In December 2016 this fixture ended 3-1 in favour of the Saints, with Jay Rodriguez scoring twice in the second half to complete a comeback victory for the away side.

Bournemouth & Southampton were drawn together in the 2021 FA Cup quarter-finals. The latter claimed a 3-0 win at the Vitality Stadium, thanks to Moussa Djenepo’s opener & two more goals by Nathan Redmond.
