Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Bournemouth
Match Time & Date:
26/08/2023
13:30
Prediction: 1-2
Tottenham
Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Manchester United, Tottenham will look to climb to the Champions League berth when they face Bournemouth at Vitality Stadium. Spurs proved their worth in their first home game of the season and it seems that the departure of Harry Kane is poised to open up additional opportunities for other key players to shine. Summer signing James Maddison should be fit for Saturday’s clash, while all Bryan, Bentancur, and Sessegnon remain in the recovery room.
The Cherries, on the other hand, failed to spoil Liverpool’s party at Anfield at the weekend and they face yet another uphill task against Tottenham. Given Spurs’ excellent second-half performance in the triumph over Man Utd, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match. All Scott, Tavernier, Dango, and Marcondes are sidelined with injuries, while Lewis Cook is a major doubt.
Highlighted Player (Heung-min Son):
Over the years Son Heung-Min has established himself as one of the best Asian footballers. Son is a Tottenham Hotspur first-team regular and he played a very important role in Mauro Pochettino’s team in the 2017/2018 Premier League campaign, scoring 12 goals, while making 37 appearances in the process.
The South Korean footballer, who is well known for his speed and a very powerful shot, was born in Chuncheo on 8 July 1992 and he began his youth career at FC Seoul. In 2008 he moved to Hamburger SV, but he made his senior debut for the Bundesliga club two years later. In 2013 he signed a deal with fellow German side Bayer Leverkusen and he scored 21 goals in 62 appearances in the Bundesliga for the BayArena outfit.
In 2015 he signed a five-year contract with Spurs for a fee of £22 million. Son Heung-min made his South Korea debut in a friendly against Syria in 2010.
Highlighted Team (Bournemouth):
Bournemouth are a professional football club that was formed back in 1890. The Cherries secured promotion to the Premier League in the 2015/2016 season, with the team making it to the English top flight for the first time ever.
Bournemouth play their home games at Dean Court and the capacity of the stadium is 11,469.
The Cherries enjoyed a very successful season on their Premier League debut, with the team beating the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United in the national championship. Glenn Murray scored the winner for Bournemouth in the 1-0 win over the capital club at Stamford Bridge and that is probably the greatest victory in the club’s history.
Bournemouth have been participating in the FA Cup since 1913, but they have yet to win the trophy in the prestigious competition. It has to be noted that the club’s original name Boscombe Athletic Football Club was changed to Bournemouth back in 1923 as the club owners wanted the Cherries to be more representative of the district.
