Bournemouth vs Arsenal Prediction & Betting Tips (19 October)

Solid 12th in the Premier League last year, Bournemouth showed great promise which only needs to be confirmed this season. Still under the orders of Basque technician Andoni Iraola, the Cherries are blowing hot and cold for the moment. They still occupy 13th place in the ranking with 5 units ahead of the red zone. Less to their advantage during the last 4 days 1 win and 3 defeats, Bournemouth dominated the promoted Southampton 3-1 but otherwise lost against Chelsea 0-1 , Liverpool 3-0 and Leicester just before the international break 1-0.Close title in the previous two years, Arsenal hopes that this season will be a good one. Still undefeated in the championship with 5 wins and 2 draws, the London team got off to a very good start.

It is currently 3rd in the Premier League and is only a small point behind leader Liverpool. Just after the international break in September, the Gunners won the derby in front of the Tottenham fans 0-1 before having to settle for a point at Manchester City due to a goal conceded at the end of added time 2-2. Subsequently, they upheld the pecking order against promoted Leicester 4-2 and Bournemouth 3-1. In the Champions League, Arsenal started with an Atalanta draw and a PSG victory .

Spared by injuries since the start of the season, Bournemouth are only deprived of the too often absent American midfielder Tyler Adams this weekend. Otherwise, the coach can count on most of his strengths. Arriving at the club this summer from Porto, Brazilian striker Evanilson (1 goal in PL) is still struggling to be effective. Ghanaian winger Semenyo (3 goals and 1 assist in PL) is the most influential offensive element so far. For Arsenal , it is worth noting the withdrawals of captain Odegaard, Ukrainian international Zinchenko and replacement Tierney.

Added to this are the uncertainties weighing on the participation of the important full-backs Timber and White as well as the starting striker Havertz. Scorers on the last day, attackers Saka (2 goals and 7 assists in PL) and Martinelli (2 goals and 2 assists in PL) are obviously applying to start. Captains Saliba, Gabriel and Rice are also available.
