On Sunday, at 15:30, Bournemouth receives Arsenal’s visit to the “Vitality Stadium,” in a spectacular and open duel. The style of the two bands has consistently recommended bets on goals, which we will also be betting this weekend.
Bournemouth has lost two consecutive matches for the first time since April, but Eddie Howe’s team is still impressed by football in England. With a small budget and a lot without big stars, the band of “cherished” is on the 6th place in the championship, with a goal 21-16. Bournemouth is only four points behind Arsenal, who is in fifth place (26-15) and attacks a qualifying position next season of the UEFA Champions League.
Direct matches are very spectacular!
Each of the last four direct duels between the two bands had at least three goals scored, and the hosts were forced into 3 of these matches: it was 2-1 for Bournemouth (last direct encounter), 3-0 and 3-1 for Arsenal, but also a spectacular draw, score 3-3. Arsenal has impressed in recent months with the creativity of the attack, but the international break came at the right time for Unai Emery’s team.
“Tuners” have lost their brilliance for a short period of time and come after four draws in the last 5 games, with a 6-5 goal. The last four home games won a single victory for the Londoners, 2-1 in the Blackpool modest League Cup, and the rest we saw draws with Liverpool (1-1), Sporting Lisbon (0-0) and Wolverhampton 0-0). With restful players, Arsenal should give a good replica on Sunday’s move.
Bournemouth has lost the last two stages with the same score, 1-2, on his own home with Manchester United and on his way with Newcastle United. Even so, the morale in the hosts’ camp is good, and Bournemouth will play without thrash in front of the “tuners”. In attack, Wilson will give big heads to the guests, and the first half could be decisive. This season, Arsenal did not even lead the break, but the team on the Emirates won 7 victories in the second half, taking advantage of the freshness and creativity.
In 9 of the 12 matches played by Bournemouth in the championship scored at least three goals, and Arsenal‘s goalkeeper, Bernd Leno, has not finished another goalless match this season. Arsenal is seriously injured by injuries, missing Koscielny, Mavropanos and Welbeck, to which Aubameyang, Lacazette, Lichtsteiner and Monreal may be added. Bournemouth also lacked basic players like Smith, King and Stanislas, but the last two could be recovered in time.
THE PROBABLE TEAMS
Bournemouth: Begovic – Francis, Ake, S. Cook, Daniels – Stanislas, Lerma, Cook, Fraser – Brooks – Wilson
Arsenal: Leno – Bellerin, Mustafi, Holding, Kolasinac – Torreira, Xhaka – Iwobi, Ozil, Aubameyang / Mkhitaryan – Lacazette
PREDICTION: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.49
