Bournemouth vs Tottenham Prediction & Betting tips
With four defeats from the last five games, things aren’t going well at Tottenham Hotspur. The Spurs in the Premier League will visit AFC Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon and in the event of a win Tottenham Hotspur will be assured of Champions League football.
AFC Bournemouth:
The AFC Bournemouth by Eddie Howe has been playing for nothing for several weeks. The Cherries are in 14th place in the Premier League and could theoretically still finish 11th. Then Bournemouth has to win the last two Premier League duels and it also depends on what West Ham United, Crystal Palace and Newcastle United are performing in their last two league games. The problem with Bournemouth is that the results have been enormously disappointing in recent weeks and that downward spiral has started after they knew at Bournemouth that they would also be active at the highest level next season.
Of the last six games that Bournemouth played, only one was won. Bournemouth is even worse in its own Vitality Stadium: The Cherries only scored two points in the last five home games. It seems a bit like The Cherries want to book a good result one week and throw it in the cap a week later. Bournemouth recently won 0-5 against Brighton & Hove Albion and in the game after that, The Cherries went down against Fulham: 0-1. Last weekend, Bournemouth tied 3-3 at Southampton and only Callum Wilson will look back with satisfaction at the game at St. Mary’s Stadium, as the Englishman again made his thirteenth and fourteenth league goal of the season. Just like last week against Southampton, Howe has to miss half a team again against the Spurs.
Tottenham Hotspur:
The pipe appears empty at Tottenham Hotspur. Precisely in the weeks that the Spurs have to be there, the results are disappointing and Tottenham does not play as it can. That became clear in the last few weeks in the three games with Manchester City, in the game lost with West Ham United 0-1 and also against Spax the Spurs did not play convincingly. In the semifinals of the Champions League, the Spurs fell 0-1 against the team from Amsterdam and certainly until the forced substitution of Jan Vertonghen, Tottenham was completely lost. Nevertheless, the Spurs had some chances at the start of the second half. After that, however, Tottenham fell back a little and it shows once again that the killing program of the English top clubs often has a negative influence on European competitions.
Anyway: Tottenham Hotspur is still alive in the Champions League. However, Mauricio Pochettino cannot afford to rest his strength against Bournemouth. Tottenham Hotspur is third in the Premier League, but theoretically Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United can still pass the Spurs. If there is a win at the Vitality Stadium this weekend, Tottenham Hotspur is assured of a place in the top four of the Premier League and we will see the Spurs again in the Champions League next season. An advantage that Tottenham does have is that the Spurs only play against Ajax on Wednesday evening and on Saturday afternoon the Premier League-game in Bournemouth is already on the program. Pochettino cannot complain about the number of rest days of the Spurs in the coming days.
