While there are no must-win games in October, it can be argued Bournemouth are in a stretch of the schedule where they cant lose if they want to remain in the Premier League for a third consecutive season.In solid form and with an opportunity to take an advantage of a soft patch of schedule, the Cherries travel to Riverside Stadium for a match against new boys Middlesbrough on Saturday.Not much was expected of Bournemouth (3-3-3) after their promotion from the Championship following the 2014-15 season. But Eddie Howes men bucked the odds and stuck around, greatly helped by a five-match unbeaten streak in December that included famous wins over then-reigning champions Chelsea and Manchester United in successive weeks.This time around, the Cherries have eight points from their last four matches, climbing to 10th in the table behind Watford on goals scored. Additionally, this match is the first of three very winnable contests for Bournemouth, who host winless and last-place Sunderland on Nov. 5 and come out of the international break Nov. 19 to play at a Stoke City team still finding its bearings.Were playing well as a collective and theres a real excitement among the players heading into each game, midfielder Jack Wilshire told afcb.co.uk after Bournemouths feisty scoreless draw against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend that featured six yellow cards. The confidence is high and we fancy ourselves to get a result against anybody in the league right now.Were in a good position in the league now and I feel like were getting stronger and stronger as each week goes by.After shipping seven goals in losses to Manchester City and Preston North End, the latter eliminating the Cherries from the EFL Cup, Bournemouth have yielded four during their unbeaten streak. The draw against Spurs marked their third clean sheet at home.That focus has not carried outside Vitality Stadium, though, where Bournemouth have just two points from four matches in league play while being outscored 8-3.Middlesbrough (1-4-4) are struggling to find their footing in the Premier League and looking to end a seven-match (0-2-4) winless stretch. Boro have failed to score in their last two matches, but some resolute defending at The Emirates last weekend gave them a point after scraping out a 0-0 draw versus Arsenal.I think as a full 90 or 95 minute game, it has been our best, manager Aitor Karanka told the teams official website. We played really well against Sunderland and Stoke, but from beginning to end against Arsenal, we played with the same consistency and the same intensity.Middlesbrough, however, have been far too gracious as hosts since coming onto the top-flight scene, dropping three on the trot at Riverside and getting only one point from their first four home matches. They have failed to hold a lead at any point during their losing streak at home.Boros seven goals are ahead of only Sunderland, and they are desperate to have Alvaro Negredo find his early season form. After scoring Middlesbroughs first goal of the season and assisting on both markers in their win over Sunderland, the former Spain international has not registered a goal or assist in his last seven league matches.Fellow forward Cristhian Stuani scored Boros last goal 219 minutes ago. The Uruguay international leads the team with three tallies despite taking just five shots.The teams last met in the Championship in the 2014-15 season, with Bournemouth taking four points via a 3-0 home win and scoreless draw at The Riverside.Middlesbrough are winless in their last five (0-4-1) versus Bournemouth, but the Cherries have never won in eight tries in Teesland (0-3-5). Its a streak Karanka hopes to extend this weekend as his team attempts to pull away from a potential relegation scrap.They are a team we played two seasons ago, and I like Eddie Howe and their team a lot, Karanka said. It will be a good test. Adidas NMD Kopen . The CFLs leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play.
