AFC Bournemouth vs. Arsenal Analysis
AFC Bournemouth Performance Recap And Analysis
Andoni Iraola faces early pressure despite assurances of time after accepting the coaching position at the Vitality Stadium.
Bournemouth are still waiting for their first league win of the season, and they could drop into the bottom three spots if they are beaten in front of their home fans this weekend.
The Cherries have picked up two points from their last three matches, but they come into this fixture after falling to a third defeat of the season against Brighton last weekend.
Confidence would have been taken in midweek, as the Cherries safely booked their spot in the fourth round of the EFL Cup with a 2-0 win at home against Stoke City. However, this is a huge step up in opposition against last season’s Premier League runners-up.
Key Injuries
AFC Bournemouth have a number of injury concerns ahead of this weekend, with Alex Scott, Lloyd Kelly, and Chris Mepham all sidelined until the end of next month.
Betting Trends To Know
Bournemouth have picked up just one Premier League victory in 12 attempts against Arsenal. Their only success was a 2-1 success at the Vitality Stadium in January 2018, but they have lost on nine occasions against the Gunners in the top-flight.
Arsenal Performance Recap and Analysis
It has been a reliable start to the 2023-24 season for Arsenal, as they currently sit fifth in the EPL rankings after six rounds of matches.
A victory on Saturday could see them close the gap on Manchester City at the top of the EPL standings to just one point, but they will need to bounce back after twice throwing away leads against Tottenham in the first North London derby of the season last Sunday.
However, the Gunners have been better on the road throughout the opening months of the season. They have won each of their two games on the road this term without conceding a goal, and they will be looking to land victories in each of their opening three for just the third time in Premier League history.
Key Injuries
Bukayo Saka is a doubt for the game this weekend, while Declan Rice is also set to miss out. Thomas Partey and Jurrien Timber are longer-term absences for the Gunners.
Betting Trends To Know
It’s challenging to overlook the Gunners ability to score goals in this fixture when making Bournemouth vs Arsenal betting picks this weekend.
They have scored at least once in their last 12 league meetings with the Cherries, netting 29 in total. They have only averaged more goals per game against Hull City in Premier League history than Bournemouth.
AFC Bournemouth vs. Arsenal Betting Picks
Arsenal look incredibly good value to maintain their unbeaten start to the 2023-24 season this weekend. We expect the Gunners to win this fixture, but Bournemouth could get chances with key injuries in the middle of the field for Arsenal in the forms of Declan Rice and Thomas Partay.
Therefore, a high-scoring clash is likely, with Arsenal showing their quality in the final third to win maximum points.
AFC Bournemouth vs. Arsenal Prediction
- Arsenal To Win (-200)
- Both Teams To Score (-163)
- Over 2.5 Goals (-188)
