Tottenham vs Bournemouth prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-03-08 14:00.
[p]Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is no longer the most likely Premier League boss to be sacked according to some markets, but the pressure is yet to relent after a 1-0 loss at home to Manchester City – which left them 11 points adrift of the top six – was followed up by a 1-0 UEFA Europa League loss away to AZ Alkmaar. Their December-January rut started with a 1-0 loss at upcoming opponents Bournemouth that saw Spurs fans hurl abuse at Postecoglou from the away end, and discontent is likely to be present again ahead of the reverse fixture. [/p]
[p]Spurs losing five of their seven Premier League home matches (W1, D1) since they last met Bournemouth may also fail to assure home supporters that they can avenge the reverse H2H. Of further concern is their series of performances against the best-performing clubs in the division, with their 4-0 win at Manchester City surrounded by ten league losses against clubs starting this round inside the top-eight.[/p]
[p]Bournemouth are in less than ideal form, and their best-ever Premier League season is suddenly at risk of fizzling out into no European football next season. The Cherries have suffered back-to-back Premier League losses for the first time since November, and even though they responded with an FA Cup win over Wolves, manager Andoni Iraola was not happy with their performance post-match.[/p]
[p]Defeat to Brighton in their last league outing could be one to forgive and forget considering the first of Brighton’s two goals came from the penalty spot, especially since Bournemouth avoided defeat in each of their prior seven league trips (W5, D2). They also took points from both Newcastle (W 4-1) and Chelsea (D 2-2) in January, with the goal-heavy manner of those encounters pointing towards the potential of a fifth consecutive away H2H with over 3.5 total goals scored![/p]
[p]Players to watch: Spurs often enjoy success when James Maddison scores, winning ten of his last 12 goalscoring appearances, including their last Premier League home game. Bournemouth’s Justin Kluivert has scored ten of his 13 goals this term on the road, two of which came in London.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Each of Bournemouth’s last nine Premier League away games have produced over 2.5 match goals.[/p]
