Bournemouth vs Tottenham prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-12-04 20:15.
[p]Bournemouth made the most of Wolves’ poor discipline with a trio of successful penalties in a 4-2 away victory, even becoming the first Premier League club to score twice from the spot within the opening 18 minutes. That win kept them in a mid-table logjam that includes upcoming opponents Tottenham, and restored the foundations from which the Cherries can mount an attack on the European placings. [/p]
[p]Bournemouth are unlikely to be fazed by Spurs’ arrival at the Vitality Stadium, having already beaten Arsenal (2-0) and Manchester City (2-1) there this season. Establishing consistency is their task now having since been beaten on their own turf by Brighton (2-1), and the welcome return of Antoine Semenyo should help on that front ahead of “a very demanding month in December” according to boss Andoni Iraola.[/p]
[p]Consistency is also something that continues to elude Tottenham after yet another frustrating afternoon on their own turf. Spurs were booed off by their own supporters after a 1-1 draw with Fulham, a result that keeps them adrift of the top-four and led to under-fire head coach Ange Postecoglou admitting he’s hearing more of the criticism coming their way[/p]
[p]Postecoglou also admitted they “didn’t have many options” personnel-wise as he juggles a slate of injuries and multiple competitions. Spurs can draw confidence from winning their last two visits to Bournemouth, as well as their sensational 4-0 victory at Manchester City late last month, but that was accompanied by just one other away win (3-0 at Manchester United) across their Premier League campaign (W2, D1, L3). [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Record Bournemouth signing Evanilson has scored four times since arriving from Porto in the summer, with two of those strikes coming on home soil, notably the winner against Man City. He was tasked with replacing Dominic Solanke, who returns to face his former employers looking to move ahead of the Brazilian in the scoring charts this term (G4, A2).[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Six of the last nine H2Hs produced over 3.5 total goals. [/p]
