The Matchday 28 Premier League clash between Tottenham and Bournemouth will take place on March 9 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Tottenham vs. Bournemouth: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Tottenham
Ange Postecoglou's side won three consecutive league matches for the first time this season, but this streak was halted in the last round. Playing at home, the team fell to Manchester City with a score of 0-1. The Londoners remain in the lower half of the table, trailing Aston Villa, who are in 10th place, by 9 points. However, it should be noted that only Liverpool (66 goals) has scored more than Tottenham (53 goals) in the current Premier League season.
- The club's uncompromising streak in the Premier League stands at eight matches (3 wins and 5 losses).
- Tottenham has not won in 8 of their last 9 home league matches (2 draws and 6 losses).
- Both teams have scored in 10 of Tottenham's last 12 home games in the Premier League.
Predicted lineup for Tottenham (4-3-3)
Guglielmo Vicario – Kevin Danso, Destiny Udogie, Pedro Porro, Archie Gray – Rodrigo Bentancur, Lucas Bergvall, James Maddison – Wilson Odobert, Brennan Johnson, Mathys Tel.
Injuries have sidelined defenders Micky van de Ven, Radu Dragusin, Cristian Romero, and Ben Davies, as well as forwards Dominic Solanke and Richarlison.
Bournemouth
The club has lost their last two league matches. Andoni Iraola's side first unexpectedly fell to Wolverhampton at home (0-1), and then were defeated away by Brighton (1-2). This is already the third such losing streak for Bournemouth in the current Premier League season, and the team has not lost three consecutive league matches since May last year. The club is currently seventh, just four points away from the Champions League zone.
- The club has not lost in 7 of their last 8 away league matches (5 wins and 2 draws).
- Both teams have scored in 9 of Bournemouth's last 10 Premier League games.
- At least three goals have been scored in Bournemouth's last nine away league matches.
Predicted lineup for Bournemouth (4-2-3-1)
Kepa Arrizabalaga – Lewis Cook, James Hill, Milos Kerkez, Dean Donny Huijsen – Tyler Adams, Ryan Christie – David Brooks, Justin Kluivert, Antoine Semenyo – Dango Ouattara.
Defender Ilya Zabarnyi will miss the match due to suspension. Injuries have also sidelined Enes Unal, defenders Adam Smith and Marcos Senesi.

Tottenham vs. Bournemouth: Match Prediction
The Londoners have had a disappointing season. It's unlikely they will even reach the top half of the table, and European competitions are out of the question. Tottenham players have little motivation for the remainder of the season, except perhaps to secure a few more points to guarantee their Premier League spot for next season. Meanwhile, the visitors are having an excellent campaign: they could qualify for European competitions, and with maximum effort, they might even challenge for a top-four finish.
Therefore, I favor Andoni Iraola's side in this match. Bournemouth has been strong on the road, losing only once in their last eight Premier League away matches. They have scored in 10 consecutive away league games, often netting two or more goals. In contrast, Tottenham has only defeated Manchester United in their last nine home Premier League matches.
Thus, my prediction is Bournemouth with a handicap (0).
