⁠Bournemouth vs Tottenham Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Midweek action in the English top-flight

The Premier League action rolls into midweek, and fans are gearing up for a clash between Bournemouth and Tottenham. Now, both teams will be looking to shift gears and find some much-needed consistency in a season filled with ups and downs.

Bournemouth have had inconsistency issues the whole season just like Spurs. and it has left the Cherries in the mid-table (more below the mid in the 13th position). They have struggled with defensive lapses but showcased their attacking prowess in a 4-2 win over Wolves last time out.

However, that’s the kind of performance that has the fans worried because the players haven’t been able to replicate the performance at a stretch. But they wouldn’t mind hosting a Spurs side prone to similar struggles.

Tottenham, fresh off a frustrating 1-1 draw against Fulham, have shown an equal knack for squandering opportunities. With both teams boasting identical recent records (2 wins, 2 losses, 1 draw), predicting a clear winner feels like flipping a coin. Who will seize the momentum this time? It’s anyone’s guess, honestly.

Players to watch

Justin Kluivert (Bournemouth)

The Dutchman has been rubber-stamping the Kluivert name in the league like his dad Patrick once did. The way he etched his name into the Premier League history book by scoring the first-ever hattrick of penalties, you know Justin is here to stay. The Cherries would love it even more if he does it week in, week out, and keeps adding to those 5 goals and 2 assists so far.

Son Heung-min (Tottenham)

Son Heung-min is back in style after a brief injury layoff, and what a return it was! There’s still a long way to go before he finally gets his Korean CR7 touchback. But the signs have been there. He’s getting into the groove and the Spurs captain has been cooking lately. When Sonny’s in this mood, defenders might as well call for backup. With 3 goals and 4 assists in 10 games, there’s more than half a season left for him to add to it.

Match prediction

Bournemouth and Tottenham have had leaky backlines, making it harder for them to win games of late. So, don’t expect anything less than a goal-mouth action at the Vitality. But we predict the visitors to walk away with a slender win.
