The South Coast duo face off at the Vitality Stadium with the visitors still searching for their first win of the season.
Meanwhile, Andoni Iraola’s Cherries are looking to add to their solitary victory of the campaign, having lost to Chelsea and Liverpool in their last two games.
Russell Martin’s Saints were denied late on to draw 1-1 with Ipswich last time out but still ended a four-game losing streak to start the season.
