Premier League: Bournemouth vs. Spurs Match Preview

Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham team will be looking to make it two wins from their last three Premier League games with a victory against London rivals Chelsea on Thursday evening.

Match Preview:

Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs are amongst the leading contenders for UEFA Champions League qualification this season, and the North London side will look to narrow the gap between themselves and the top four with a victory away from home on the South Coast against Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth on Thursday evening.

The Cherries are looking to make it two wins in succession as they look to continue their positive start to the season. This game promises to be an enthralling and highly competitive contest between these two teams.

Spurs are currently sitting in 8th place in the Premier League as of the time of writing, having accumulated a total of 20 points to their name to date. The North London outfit are currently just 2 points adrift of 6th place, whilst there is a gap of 6 points between themselves and Manchester City in the final UEFA Champions League qualification place in 4th.

Tottenham can halve the gap between themselves with a victory against Bournemouth. Sealing all three points against the Iraola’s Cherries would see them leapfrog Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, and Brighton to climb up to 5th place in the league table.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth currently find themselves in 13^th place as things stand, having earned 18 points so far. The Cherries are having a good campaign, with the club no less than 10 points above the relegation zone, whilst they are also just 2 points below their opponents.

The Cherries will also have an eye on potential European Football, with a 4 point gap separating them from Aston Villa in the final European qualification spot in 7th place at the moment. All three points for Andoni Iraola and his team would see Bournemouth climb up to 8th in the Premier League table, whilst leapfrogging the likes of Fulham, Manchester United, Newcastle United, Brentford, and Spurs. This is also dependent on Fulham failing to beat Brighton on Thursday.

Bournemouth’s most recent game in the Premier League saw them beat relegation-threatened Wolves 4 – 2 at Molineux, thanks to a hat-trick of penalties from Justin Kluivert (3’, 18’, 74’), as well as a goal from Milos Kerkez (8’).

Previous Premier League Game:

Spurs’ most recent Premier League game saw them draw 1 – 1 with Marco Silva’s Fulham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Brennan Johnson gave the hosts the lead (54’), before a goal from Tom Cairney midway through the second half for Fulham to secure a point for the Cottagers.

Tottenham’s most recent Premier League win was a spectacular and ruthless 4 – 0 away triumph against Manchester City, where the goals at the Etihad Stadium came from James Maddison (13’, 20’), Pedro Porro (52’), and Brennan Johnson (90+3’).

Head to Head:

Spurs and AFC Bournemouth have gone head to head in competitive football on a total of 15 occasions, whilst it is the former who has the superior number of 10 victories, compared with the latter’s 3 overall. The Lilywhites and the Cherries have played out just 2 draws so far, as of the time of writing.
