Match prediction for Bournemouth vs Arsenal

The teams Bournemouth and Arsenal are set to face each other at the Vitality Stadium in a clash in the 20th round of the Premier League. The head-to-head record at this stadium favors the visiting team, as they have won 2 and lost 1 of the last 3 encounters. However, in the last match at this venue, during a Premier League fixture on October 19, 2024, AFC Bournemouth managed to win (2-0). Goals for Bournemouth were scored by Justin Kluivert (79′) and Ryan Christie (70′). It is crucial to analyze home and away conditions carefully, as Bournemouth shows different results at home versus away.

Bournemouth Analysis

The home team is currently in 15th place, with 23 points earned after 5 wins, 8 draws, and 6 losses. In their penultimate match, they lost away to Brentford (4-1). In their last game, they drew against Chelsea (2-2). This is a stronger team when playing at home, as they have recorded 2 wins, 7 draws, and 6 losses as visitors in their last 30 matches; while at home, they have achieved 6 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses. In their last 9 home games in the league, Bournemouth has 4 wins, 4 draws, and 1 loss, earning 16 points out of a possible 27.

In this competition, they have not won in 10 matches. In their home fixtures in the league, the most common halftime score was 0-0 (5 out of 9 games). The team has conceded goals to their opponents in 9 of the last 10 matches, indicating a lack of defensive solidity, but their attack has been scoring regularly, finding the net in 7 of the last 10 matches in this competition. In their home games, there is a trend for fewer goals, as 6 of their last 9 league games ended with under 2.5 goals. In 19 matches in this competition, they have only managed to turn the score around once in the 8 games in which they conceded first.

The Bournemouth team enters this match after a draw, 2-2, against Chelsea, thus recording their eighth consecutive match without a win in this Premier League: the goals for the team were scored by Justin Kluivert and David Brooks. The home team usually plays in a 4-3-3 tactical system where the three forward players are Antoine Semenyo, David Brooks, and Evanilson. It is worth highlighting that the player tasked with adding some “flair” to their offensive plays is midfielder Alex Scott. Ben Doak and Tyler Adams are out for this game due to injuries.

Confirmed lineup: Djordje Petrovic, Adrien Truffert, James Hill, Álex Jiménez, Marcos Senesi, Alex Scott, Marcus Tavernier, Justin Kluivert, Antoine Semenyo, David Brooks, Evanilson.
Coach: G. O’Neil.

In their last match, they secured a home victory over Aston Villa (4-1). This team is not significantly affected by the home factor, as they have similar results at home and away, with 10 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses as visitors over their last 30 matches, scoring 25 goals and conceding 10. At home, they have claimed 13 wins and 2 draws, scoring a total of 38 goals and conceding 7. In the league, Arsenal has earned 17 points from a possible 27 after 5 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses in their last 9 matches played away. The team has allowed goals to opponents in 7 of the last 10 matches, indicating an inconsistency in defensive solidity, yet their attack has scored regularly, netting at least one goal in the last 10 games in this competition. In their away matches for this competition, there has been a tendency for fewer goals, as there were less than 3 goals in 6 of the last 9 they played. In 19 matches in this competition, they conceded the first goal 6 times and only managed to turn the match around once.

Arsenal enters this match after a victory, 4-1, against Aston Villa, marking their fourth consecutive win in this Premier League: the goals were scored by Gabriel Jesus, Leandro Trossard, Martín Zubimendi, and Gabriel Magallanes. The visiting team usually employs a tactical system of 4-3-3, favoring a slower style of play. In this setup, the three players responsible for causing havoc in the opponent’s defense are Leandro Trossard, Viktor Gyökeres, and Bukayo Saka. When they launch their offensive plays, they typically do so via the right flank, utilizing the depth offered by Jurriën Timber. Max Dowman and Declan Rice are unavailable for this match due to injuries.

Confirmed lineup: David Raya, Piero Hincapié, William Saliba, Jurriën Timber, Gabriel Magallanes, Martin Ødegaard, Mikel Merino, Martín Zubimendi, Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, Viktor Gyökeres.
