It is the first pre-season of seven pre-season matches for AFC Bournemouth.
The Cherries host Hibs and then Bristol City both before travelling to America to play in the Premier League Summer Series later this month.
Andoni Iraola’s side  has finished ninth in the English Premier League last season – equaling their highest ever top-flight finish and picking up a club-record points total of 56 points.
This is the second time we have played The Cherries for the past two years. The sides last met during pre-season in July 2023, with Bournemouth running out 4-0 winners in Marbella.
Hibernian are ready more than  Bournemouth in terms of their preparations for the new campaign, but the Cherries may call upon so much quality, especially in the final third, and we are backing the Premier League club to edge an entertaining clash.
