Bournemouth vs Tottenham – 04/05/2019 Preview

Bournemouth will face Tottenham at Vitality Stadium, in Bournemouth, at 37th Round of English Premier League. Bournemouth against Tottenham is always the match with big interest after their previous matches in English Premier League. This round is very important fighting for positions in the league. Review our thoughts on this match here below.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth is safe for sure in the Premier League, so nothing depends on this match. Now hosts are at 14th place with 42 points after 36 rounds, and that is far away from an ideal scenario, however, the team plays only 4th season in the highest English league. Cherries lost only 6 games at home, and 3 of them were in the last 5 games since they failed to win in 5 PL matches in a row. If hosts will win last 2 games, they will be able to take 11th place and finish the season in the middle of the Standings.

Callum Wilson was targeted by Chelsea after they faced troubles with the bad shape of strikers. However, everything ended at the level of the idea and Callum successfully continued to play and score goals for Bournemouth. This season in PL he already scored 14 goals and made 9 assists. Moreover, Ryan Fraser to leaders position of the most key passes in the squad with 13 assists. And third one squad leader is Joshua King with 11 goals and very great team play. These 3 players are very dangerous and could cause troubles even against the strongest teams.

Unfortunately, Diego Rico, Charlie Daniels, Simon Francis, Lewis Cook, and Andrew Surman will miss next match due to injuries.

Tottenham

Tottenham just lost to Ajax in the Semi-final of Champions League after totally losing the 1st half. Second half was a lot better and confident, however, they failed to score even 1 goal and match finished with 1:0 result and Toby Alderweireld injury. Heung-Min Son could be played a very important leading role, however, he was suspended because of yellow cards in last rounds.  Ajax played more creative football, they attacked beautifully, showed lots of skills and created more dangerous moments especially at 1st half. In general, Tottenham is facing big troubles in the last months playing road games. They lost 8 of their last 9 away matches in different competitions and last 5 PL away games. But almost all rivals were very strong, and it was extremely difficult to win against them especially in their fields.

Spurs is a very young and talented squad with great players absolutely in all field places. Harry Kane scored this season in PL 17 goals and made 4 assists by taking best squad’s goalscorer few years in a row. Son Heung-Min, Lucas Moura and Cristian Eriksen scored combined 29 goals and made 21 assists, creating a very dangerous attacking trio. Unfortunately, strongest team forward and the defender will miss the next matches. Toby Alderweireld was injured during Ajax match and will miss few games for sure. Harry Kane will miss all matches until the end of the season.
