Bournemouth v Tottenham

Bournemouth vs Tottenham Preview

Following two recent defeats on the trot in the English top flight, Bournemouth returned to winning ways last weekend when The Cherries blasted Wolves 4-2 away from home at Molineux which helped maintain the hosts' 13th place position in the Premier League table.

Tottenham picked up a point on the weekend courtesy of a 1-1 draw at home with Fulham but having inflicted an emphatic 4-0 thrashing over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in their previous game, Spurs may have been left feeling a little underwhelmed by that draw.

Bournemouth have produced a mixed bag of results so far in this season's Premier League campaign but nonetheless, The Cherries occupy a respectable 13th place in the English top flight table having picked up five wins, three draws along with being handed five defeats.

The south coast club have at least held their own under Andoni Iraola and important victories against Everton, Southampton, Arsenal, Manchester City and Wolves should still give the upcoming hosts plenty of belief and confidence ahead of this impending visit from Tottenham on Thursday night.

Bournemouth have won three out of their last four home games at their Vitality Stadium and the hosts are expected to put up a decent fight against their north London visitors in this encounter.

Tottenham continued to produce their inconsistent streak in the Premier League following their 4-0 rout of Manchester City away from home as Spurs were then held to a rather disappointing 1-1 draw at home with Fulham on the weekend.

It's been almost a case of either wins or losses for Tottenham so far in this season's top flight campaign as the north London visitors have registered six wins, drawn only twice but have also been handed five defeats as well within their total of 13 matches played to date this term.

Recent victories against West Ham, Aston Villa and Manchester City have been offset by suffering losses at the hands of Brighton, Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town, thus underlining Tottenham's ‘Jeckyll & Hyde' characteristics in the top flight again this season.

Results away from home have also been a problem for Ange Postecoglou's side as Tottenham have managed to capture only four wins from their last 16 outings on the road in the Premier League which suggests the visitors may struggle to gain the upper hand over their upcoming hosts, Bournemouth.

Bournemouth v Tottenham Verdict

Bournemouth and Tottenham have produced inconsistent results throughout this season's campaign to date and this upcoming clash at the Vitality Stadium could end either in a bizarre 4-4 draw or produce a low-scoring affair, such are their inconsistencies.

We will be backing a low-scoring encounter down on the south coast on Thursday night in what could result in a 1-1 stalemate.

Therefore, our main bet will be Under 2.5 goals @ 2.75
