Bournemouth vs Tottenham PREVIEW & PREDICTION 09/07/2020

On Thursday, at 18:00, Bournemouth and Tottenham meet in the 34th round of the Premier League, in a match scheduled at Vitality Stadium, which has stakes for both teams: the hosts want to avoid relegation, and the Londoners are with the thought of participating in Europe. However, the goal is far away and Spurs have enough problems in the game.

Without Daniels and Francis, however, manager Eddie Howe has a large group at his disposal, in which the stars Harry and Callum Wilson have returned. Tottenham comes after a victory with Everton (1-0), obtained on Monday night, but Jose Mourinho does not have Dele Alli at his disposal, injured. Spurs has a much more valuable team than Bournemouth, which seems outdated this season.

Tottenham is in 8th place (goal difference 52-44) and has lost only one game in the last five of the championship. However, the Londoners are 7 points away from the European zone, which means that the mission of the white-blues is very difficult. Bournemouth is in a desperate situation in the basement, on the 19th place out of 20, with a goal difference of 32-59 and being at one point from a position that ensures salvation. But the “cherries” have a long series of failures in the championship – 5.

In the last games, the Southerners lost to Liverpool (1-2), Crystal Palace (0-2), Wolverhampton (0-1), Newcastle (1-4) and, finally, to Manchester United (2-5). Tottenham came back well after the defeat with Sheffield United (1-3) and remain solid at home, but quite vulnerable at home. In the tour we witnessed a spectacular match and it is possible to repeat the scenario, because the host team is forced to go out to play for points.

-Tottenham won 3-2 in the round, a match in which Alli and Harry Wilson managed to “double”;
