Bournemouth vs Tottenham prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – December 5, 2024
One of the matches of the 14th round of the English Premier League will take place at Vitality Stadium, where Bournemouth will host Tottenham. Here's a betting tip for this encounter with solid chances of success.
Match Preview
Ahead of the last round, Andoni Iraola's side endured two consecutive defeats in the league—away to Brentford (2-3) and at home to Brighton (1-2). However, at the end of November, the "Cherries" bounced back convincingly, defeating Wolves 4-2 away. In that match, Justin Kluivert made Premier League history by scoring the first-ever hat-trick solely from penalties.
Bournemouth currently sits 13th in the table, and despite their usual mid-table status, they are closer to the Champions League zone than the relegation battle. In six home matches, the "Cherries" have recorded three wins and two losses, notably defeating both Manchester City and Arsenal.
Meanwhile, Spurs ended their streak of 11 uncompromising Premier League games (6 wins, 5 losses) by drawing 1-1 with Fulham at home. An intriguing fact: in all their victorious matches this season, Tottenham has scored at least three goals.
Thanks to this offensive prowess, Ange Postecoglou's men top the league's scoring charts with 28 goals. Before this round, the London club occupies seventh place, just three points shy of the coveted Champions League spots. In their six away fixtures, Spurs have secured two wins and suffered three defeats.
