Tottenham vs Bournemouth Prediction, Odds & Match Preview

See the latest EPL odds, picks, and predictions for Tottenham vs Bournemouth ahead of their matchup on August 30.
  • Tottenham is predicted to be a -0.5-goal home favorite against Bournemouth.
  • Tottenham has dropped points in three of the last five league meetings with Bournemouth.
  • My Tottenham vs Bournemouth prediction is the Tottenham Moneyline (-140).

After a massive win at Manchester City, Tottenham returns home to face Bournemouth. 

A 2-0 win for Thomas Frank’s side gave Tottenham a second straight win at City. Currently, Spurs trail only Arsenal in the Premier League table. 

Bournemouth captured a 1-0 win over Wolves on Matchday 2. Now, Andoni Iraola’s side looks to continue the momentum with a fourth result in the last six against Tottenham. 

Check out the Premier League odds and my Tottenham vs Bournemouth prediction.

Bournemouth vs Tottenham: Prediction

Based on Tottenham’s success with a healthy defense last year and the early success of short favorites, my Tottenham vs Bournemouth prediction is the Tottenham Moneyline (-140). 

It’s no secret Tottenham struggled last year. However, many of those failures were due to injuries, particularly in defense. 

To paint a picture of this team’s true quality, it’s important to consider the ideal version of Spurs. 

The best version of this team features Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero as central defenders. However, the duo featured in the Starting XI together nine times last year. 

Results proved mixed in those games. Tottenham finished 4-1-4 (W-D-L). 

Of those four losses, two came with Tottenham playing on a short week. A 3-0 win over Manchester United featured the same scenario – the game also produced a United red card. 

Across all nine matches, Tottenham produced a +0.9 expected goal differential per 90. Within the smaller six-game sample, it’s a +0.88 xGDiff per 90, per fbref.com. 

At least one of those defenders failed to start both matches against Bournemouth. Unsurprisingly, Tottenham finished 0-1-1 while allowing over two post-shot xGA in both. 

All of that is to say that a fully healthy Tottenham side feels cheap at this price. That perception is reinforced by the historical performance of teams within this range. 

Since 2012, favorites between -150 and -106 in games 2-5 are 41-10 SU, assuming the favorite’s margin in the last meeting falls between -1 and +1. 

For those reasons, I like Tottenham to pick up all three points as short home favorites.
