Tottenham vs Bournemouth preview

Tottenham welcome Bournemouth to north London for Saturday’s Premier League encounter.

And for Spurs, it’s an opportunity for Thomas Frank’s side to go marching into the international break with maximum points.

Few expected the former Brentford boss to stamp his authority so quickly, but the Dane is proving – perhaps to the likes of Ruben Amorim – that flexibility and pragmatism go a long way in the Premier League.

Spurs are one of only three clubs, alongside Arsenal and Liverpool, to have taken maximum points from their opening two matches – the latest being a standout win over a “rejuvenated” Manchester City at the Etihad.

Defensively, they’re showing signs of real improvement too. After keeping just two clean sheets in their final 22 league games last season – conceding an average of 2.1 goals per match – Tottenham have started this campaign with back-to-back shutouts.

That run will be severely tested against Bournemouth this weekend – but Spurs may hold a trump card.

Thomas Frank is unbeaten in six Premier League meetings with the Cherries (W4 D2), his best record against any side in the division – while the only manager he’s beaten more often than Andoni Iraola is David Moyes.

As for Bournemouth, they’re still adjusting to the loss of four key defenders from last season, including Ilya Zabarnyi, Dean Huijsen, Milos Kerkez and on-loan keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The Cherries showed plenty of fight despite defeat to Liverpool on the opening day, before a dominant – if frustrating – win over Wolves, where they blasted 14 efforts on goal but scored just once.

That lack of clinical finishing cost them in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, as they were beaten 2-0 by Brentford at the Vitality Stadium, despite controlling large parts of the game.

However, Bournemouth have earned more points in six games against Spurs since their 2022 Premier League return than in their entire 10-game stint between 2015 and 2020.

The Cherries also boast an unbeaten run of six away Premier League matches in London (W1 D5), so they’ll certainly be no pushovers at Tottenham this weekend.

Rich vein of form

We’re backing in-form Brazilian forward Richarlison to keep up his excellent run under Thomas Frank.

The 28-year-old has already kicked off the campaign with two goals and an assist, including a brace against Burnley on the opening weekend.

That’s no surprise – he’s had three times more touches inside the opposition penalty area (15) than any of his teammates and fired off double the number of shots on goal (8).

Richarlison has been directly involved in 16 goals across his last 21 Premier League starts for Spurs (13 goals, 3 assists) – and we’re backing that purple patch to continue this weekend.

Win and BTTS

We’re backing Tottenham to win and both teams to score at 2/1 with William Hill.

Spurs may have kept back-to-back clean sheets, but the numbers tell a slightly different story. They’ve faced eight shots on target, with only West Ham and Bournemouth allowing more, and a total of 24 shots faced across their opening two games.

They’ve also outperformed their expected goals conceded (xGC) of 2.49, which could spell danger against a Bournemouth side ranked fifth in the league for xG from open play (2.48).

At the other end, the Cherries are still finding their feet defensively after a summer reshuffle – and only struggling West Ham have faced more shots on target so far.
