Will Tottenham continue the positive start?

AFC Bournemouth will take on Tottenham on matchday 3 of the Premier League. The Cherries will want to show their best possible performance in this home match and pose big problems to the opponent from North London. However, Spurs have performed well so far.

The Bournemouth vs Tottenham prediction from the bookmakers shows that the visitors are the favorites. It’s not completely clear yet and there are still one or two quiet doubts about the quality of Spurs, but a trend is definitely already emerging.

Most of all Tottenham’s win against Manchester United was a very good argument for the new coach Postecoglou. Due to the good approaches, before the match Bournemouth vs Tottenham our tip is that Spurs will not lose and more than 1.5 goals will fall.

Bournemouth – statistics & current form

AFC Bournemouth wants to establish itself in the English Premier League. That is why the new coach Andoni Iraola was installed in the summer. The Spaniard is to help the team to more game culture and bring together the decent approaches that already exist in the squad. However, the start to the season has not been easy, with only one point being taken from the first two games.

And so Bournemouth could start the season without a win from the first three games for the third time. And that, although the new signings actually sound more than just very decent. Aarons, Kerkez, Scott, Traoré, Adams: The Cherries could spend more than 100 million euros and thus provide their new coach with some dream players.

However, the Bournemouth vs Tottenham odds show that the Cherries are the underdogs in this match. This role is not extremely clear, Tottenham still has too many unanswered questions to answer for that, but you can definitely see a finger pointing. Most recently, Bournemouth lost 3-1 at Liverpool, but set a few accents in the game forward there.

Bournemouth must lay the foundations at home

For a team that wants to first of all achieve the class preservation, the home games are of course a very important basis. However, the Cherries have lost three of their last five games at home. That means they need to step it up a notch now. A decent home record helps enormously in achieving their own goals. Defensively, Bournemouth also conceded a bit too much at the start of the season, and there is still some catching up to do.

Overall, however, there seems to be a basis on which to build. It should also be noted that things still have to find their way. Some newcomers were only signed recently. That’s another reason why Spurs have an advantage, which is why, ahead of the Bournemouth vs Tottenham match, our prediction is that the visitors won’t lose and will score over 1.5 goals in the match.

Predicted lineup of Bournemouth:

Bournemouth (Expected lineup) 4-2-3-1

Tottenham – statistics & current form

Tottenham has not had an easy summer. Ange Postecoglou was installed as the new coach, Harry Kane left the club and some transfer targets could not be addressed. Nevertheless, some players were signed and others were brought in. Among others, Maddison, van de Ven and Vicario are now playing for the club. The former, however, has already been injured after two submissions in the first two games and is out for the time being.

It will be exciting to see how Spurs pick this up. In the creative center, Solomon could now come more into focus, who is less dynamic but more of a dribbler. In general, Spurs have not yet shown everything they have in their repertoire, but the four points from the games against Brentford and Manchester United can definitely be seen as positive.

The team is playing a bit more flexibly than in the preseason, but they haven’t scored a striker’s goal yet. Postecoglou has made it his mission to play exciting attacking soccer. It could be a good omen that Spurs have lost only one of their last six games at Bournemouth.

Tottenham generally need to step up away from home

However, the other side of the coin is also quickly explained. The visitors won only one of their last nine away games in total in the Premier League. However, with more possession, more control and various changes of pace, they should now succeed in raising the quota here as well. In last season’s mixed campaign, the away games were also a negative factor.

It seems realistic that this match will be a real battle in front of the goals. The Bournemouth vs Tottenham betting odds from the bookmakers suggest that it could be goal-filled. Over 2.5 goals in this match seems to be easily achievable. However, it remains to be seen whether the players on the field will deliver accordingly.

Based on the first impressions of the new season, our value tip before the game Bournemouth vs Tottenham is that the visitors will win

Predicted lineup of Tottenham:

Bournemouth – Tottenham tip

Bournemouth made a decent impression recently, but without picking up the points. A draw from the first two games, that’s all that jumped out. And the last home games against Spurs were not ideal.

It remains to be seen whether this starting position will change. Based on the first, fresh impressions of the new season, our tip before the match Bournemouth vs Tottenham is that the guests do not lose and more than 1.5 goals fall in this game.
