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 that streak ended in the last round. Playing at home, the team lost 0-1 to Manchester City. The Londoners remain in the lower half of the standings, trailing Aston Villa, who sit in 10th place, by nine points. However, it's worth noting that only Liverpool (66 goals) have scored more than Tottenham (53 goals) in this Premier League season.
- The club's uncompromising run in the Premier League stands at eight matches (3 wins and 5 losses).
- Tottenham have not won 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.
Defenders Ben Davies and Radu Dragusin, as well as forwards Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison, are sidelined due to injuries.
Bournemouth
The club has lost their last two league matches. First, Andoni Iraola's side unexpectedly lost 0-1 at home to Wolverhampton, and then they were defeated 1-2 away by Brighton. This marks the third such losing streak for Bournemouth in this Premier League season, and they have not lost three consecutive league matches since May last year. The club currently sits seventh, just four points off the Champions League spots.
- The club has not lost in 7 of their last 8 away league games (5 wins and 2 draws).
- Both teams have scored in 9 of Bournemouth's last 10 Premier League matches.
- At least three goals have been scored in Bournemouth's last nine away matches in the Premier League.
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. Enes Unal, defenders Adam Smith and Marcos Senesi are out due to injuries.

Tottenham vs. Bournemouth: Match Prediction
The Londoners have had a disappointing season. It's unlikely they will even make it into the top half of the standings, let alone qualify for European competitions. Tottenham players have little motivation for the rest of the season, except to secure enough points to guarantee their place in the Premier League next season. In contrast, the visitors are having an excellent season: 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 have looked strong on the road, losing just once in their last eight Premier League away games. They have also scored in 10 consecutive away league matches, often netting two or more goals. Meanwhile, Tottenham have only managed to beat Manchester United in their last nine home Premier League games.
Therefore, my prediction is Bournemouth with a handicap (0)
