Bournemouth play host to Brighton & Hove Albion on Tuesday evening with the opportunity to move significantly away from the Premier League relegation zone.
At a time when the Cherries are one of the form teams in a congested survival battle, Brighton find themselves in sixth position in the standings.
We say: Bournemouth 1-2 Brighton & Hove Albion
While Bournemouth have pulled off some fine wins this season, very few have come in succession. With that in mind, we are backing Brighton's superior quality to shine through in what should prove to be an entertaining fixture.

Two teams battling to avoid relegation from the Premier League will lock horns for a vital encounter on Tuesday evening, with Leeds United welcoming Nottingham Forest to Elland Road.
The Whites are currently 17th in the table, level on points with 18th-placed Everton, while Forest occupy 15th, just one point ahead of their opponents in this contest.
We say: Leeds United 2-2 Nottingham Forest
This has all of the makings of a very entertaining match, and we are expecting goals on Tuesday. Both sides will be desperate for the win, but the desire not to lose should also be apparent during the game, and we are ultimately tipping a score draw at Elland Road.

Leicester vs. Aston Villa (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

On the back of contrasting results at the weekend, managerless Leicester City and Aston Villa take to the King Power turf for Tuesday's Premier League contest.
The Foxes were undone by a dramatic last-minute strike in a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday, while Unai Emery's men continued their hot streak by beating Chelsea 2-0.
We say: Leicester City 1-3 Aston Villa
Conceding shot after shot to a hitherto goal-shy Palace side well and truly highlights the magnitude of Leicester's defensive problems, which should be exposed and then some by a Villa side who just cannot stop scoring under Emery, even if Rodgers's departure can breathe new life into the hosts' beleaguered troops.
Jellied legs may come into play for both sets of players, and a side more clinical than Chelsea would have no doubt breached the Lions' backline, but we cannot envisage anything other than another stellar success on the road for Aston Villa, who ought to glean a measure of revenge for their defeat to the Foxes in February.

Chelsea vs. Liverpool (Tuesday, 8.00pm)

Two faltering behemoths come to blows in Tuesday's Premier League battle at Stamford Bridge, as managerless Chelsea play host to Liverpool on the back of demoralising defeats for both sides.
The hosts were put to the sword 2-0 by Aston Villa on Saturday, a few hours after the Reds were swept aside 4-1 by Manchester City.
We say: Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool
There has not been a winner in 90 minutes during the last five meetings between Chelsea and Liverpool, and that streak of stalemates could very well become six on Tuesday evening, even if those in blue are buoyed by a change in management.
While Saltor and Klopp should not be averse to making a few changes, backing either morale-depleted side to prevail with any real confidence is nigh-on impossible, so we can only foresee yet another share of the spoils.
