Where to watch Tottenham vs Bournemouth?

The match from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be on 31th December. The kick-off will be at 15:00.

Tottenham have won 2 out of 5 games at home

If we can find any weakness of the current Tottenham, leaving aside the small width of the squad, it will definitely be the home games. Spurs have only won 2 of their last 5 games. True the duels with Chelsea or Aston Villa are erratic and evenly matched, but especially the loss to West Ham may be a downer for Son and co. Only Newcastle and Everton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium have fallen.

Moreover, the game against Bournemouth next month will be the last one for captain Heung-Min Son. The Korean footballer will play in the Asian Cup in January, which can last almost until the end of January for Korea. Yves Bissouma, who will be representing Mali at the Africa Cup of Nations, will also leave due to his national team duties.

However, Brazilian Richarlison, who has scored 4 goals in his last 4 games, has put in a decent performance and he should be the one to at least replace Son in goal. If the home team wants to continue to compete for a place in the elite four of the competition, they absolutely must make the duel with Bournemouth. Especially with the loss in the last game against Brighton, they have made their way up the table more difficult.

Bournemouth in excellent form

Last 9 games for Bournemouth? 22 points, even 12 points out of the last 12 possible. The Cherries are in the best form in the whole competition over the last 5 games, only Liverpool are better in their last 10 games.

Most of the credit for the improvement in results goes to the team’s cannonballer Dominic Solanke, who is currently the 2nd top scorer in the Premier League with 12 goals, along with Mohamed Salah, after Erling Haaland. Moreover, the English striker has scored 12 of his team’s 25 goals, and if we add one assist, he has contributed to almost half of the team’s goals. Bournemouth rose from the bottom to 12th place in the table.

Tottenham vs Bournemouth odds

Betting tip – Over 1.5 in the 2nd half

Both teams can score in both halves, but if we look at the last matches of these teams, we can see that the score has moved especially in the 2nd half. So a bet on Over 1.5 in the 2nd half doesn’t sound bad at all. The excellent form of Solanke and the whole Bournemouth side should play a key role and the Cherries could come away with at least a point. Moreover, Tottenham’s recent performances have not been convincing at all. So Bournemouth could surprise the home side with a great start to the game and also by scoring in both halves, they have managed to do so in the last 4 out of 5 games.
