Tottenham vs Bournem. Prediction 9 March 2025
🔊 What reaction should we expect from Tottenham after the defeat in the European competition? It turns out that the match against Bournemouth becomes an extra fixture in preparation for the return game against AZ Alkmaar. That is why the hosts are not seen as favorites at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Moreover, the visitors have been performing significantly better this season, focusing on the English Premier League. In this situation, it is worth considering different options to make the prediction optimal.
Head-to-Head
In the span of 15 head-to-head matches, Tottenham holds the advantage with 10 wins, three losses, and two draws. However, in the first round, they were defeated at “Vitality” by a narrow margin (0:1), although judging by the chances created, it could have ended in a rout. Dean Hyzen scored in that match, marking his debut goal for Bournemouth. It is worth noting that in 5 of the last 6 head-to-head matches in London, at least four goals were scored. In this regard, the total goals over 3 bet looks quite intriguing.
Head-to-head statistics Tottenham - Bournem.
Tottenham Hotspur Team Overview
Tottenham is ranked 13th in the Premier League, which could mean missing out on European competitions next season. The main reason for their struggles is injuries. However, most players have recovered and are gaining form. Only Richarlison, Dragusin, and Kulusevski, who was injured in the last round, remain in the infirmary. Nevertheless, some players return and then drop out again. For instance, Dominic Solanke recently took to the field in the Europa League match against AZ. However, he played less than 20 minutes after receiving a painful blow, which led to his substitution. Meanwhile, Tottenham unexpectedly lost away due to an own goal by Lucas Bergwijn (0:1). In the Premier League, they had a series of three wins and nearly took points from Manchester City in the final seconds (0:1). However, there was no significant progress in the league standings. It is worth noting that Ben Davies's participation in the upcoming match is questionable, as he missed three matches due to injury but is expected to return to the field soon.

AFC Bournemouth Team Overview
Despite participating only in national level tournaments, Bournemouth also suffers significantly from injuries. However, for a long time, this did not affect the results. But in the last four rounds, the "Cherries" suffered three defeats, beating only Southampton (3:1). Nevertheless, the recent failures can be explained by the absence of Zabarnyi in defense. In the match against Wolverhampton (0:1), he was sent off in the middle of the first half. After that, he could not be adequately replaced in the game against Brighton (1:2). The defender's suspension extended to the FA Cup, where Bournemouth took revenge on the "Wolves" after a penalty shootout (2:1). In the upcoming match, Araujo, Smith, Senesi, and Unal will not play due to injuries, and Christie's participation is in question.

🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The main referee for the match is John Brooks, who has officiated 12 Premier League matches this season, including games involving Tottenham and Bournemouth, in which he showed 4-5 yellow cards. On average this season, the referee issues 5.33 warnings.
Bournemouth has the advantage in yellow cards this season (2.5 compared to 2). In matches involving them, there is an average of five yellow cards. Tottenham's similar figure is lower (4.4). In 13 of the last 14 matches involving Iraola's team, there were no more than five yellow cards. Therefore, a bet on total yellow cards under 5.5 seems justified.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Bournemouth cannot be called a home team, as they have one more point away. However, Iraola's team has scored a significant number of goals on foreign fields (28:17). In 9 of their last 10 away matches, they have scored at least two goals. Therefore, a bet on Bournemouth total goals over 1.5 looks quite profitable.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Both teams come into the match with upward trends in corners. Tottenham has had at least six corners in 16 of their last 18 home Premier League matches. Bournemouth has the same statistic in the last five rounds. Therefore, a bet on total corners over 11.5 is highly likely to succeed.
Editorial Prediction
With a slight edge, Bournemouth is considered the favorite, having prepared for the upcoming match for a week. Tottenham, on the other hand, had a Europa League game where they lost to AZ, so they are not in the best mood for the upcoming match. Bournemouth also hasn't had many victories lately, so we note a potential exact score of 2-2.
Recently, Tottenham barely avoided conceding a second goal in the Netherlands. AZ had at least four scoring chances. In response, the "Spurs" created almost nothing at the opposite goal. Considering that the team's thoughts should be on the return game next week, we suggest as a key bet Bournemouth's total goals over 1.5. Especially since they have scored at least two goals in 9 out of their last 10 away matches.
