Tottenham vs Bournemouth Tips
Tip 1
Tottenham vs Bournemouth is one of the more attack-minded fixtures available to the Premier League right now. Both sides have going forward at the forefront of their minds and particularly in Spurs’ case, defending is merely an afterthought.
Ange Postecoglou’s side have hit this goals mark in seven league games on their own turf this term – a figure matched by the Cherries in PL games on the road, with four of their last five away trips in the league seeing 4+ goals.
Three of the pair’s last five head-to-heads have also reached this line, and with Spurs being within touching distance of choosing from a fully fit squad, this contest becomes a lot more evenly matched and should provide plenty of goalmouth action.
Tip 2
If this contest is as open-ended as we believe it will be then both midfielders will have their work cut out for them.
Bournemouth’s Ryan Christie is on the precipice of a two-match suspension and will only avoid this fate by successfully navigating the next five matches without picking up a 10th yellow card.
That outcome seems highly unlikely, however, since the Scot has amassed nine in 26, with four of those being brandished across his last nine outings.
James Maddison, the other half of this bet, has drawn 51 fouls – 16 more than the next closest individual in Evanilson – and as well as being a handful for Christie to contain, will also have his own defensive duties to worry about.
The former Norwich and Leicester midfielder has been carded seven times this season and is equally as prone for receiving a card for his rash challenges as he is for taking one for the team.
Tottenham Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
Spurs have had over a week’s rest for this game, most recently losing 1-0 to Man City in a tight contest at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the 26th February.
Ange Postecoglou could be massively boosted by the returns of Cristian Romero, Dominic Solanke, Micky van de Ven and Richarlison for this fixture, however, Radu Dragusin is a confirmed absentee with his long-term injury.
Tottenham Predicted XI: Vicario; Porro, Gray, Danso, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bentancur, Maddison; Johnson, Tel, Son.
Bournemouth Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
The Cherries managed a nail-biting 5-4 penalty shootout win over Wolves last Saturday to progress to the FA Cup quarter-finals where a home tie against reigning champions Manchester City awaits.
Defensive duo Marcos Senesi and Adam Smith are unavailable for the visitors, as is forward Unes Enal.
Bournemouth Predicted XI: Kepa; Cook, Hill, Huijsen, Kerkez; Christie, Adams; Brooks, Kluivert, Semenyo; Evanilson.
