Premier League: Arsenal Vs Bournemouth Predictions and Betting Tips (04/05/2024)

Saturday morning at the Emirates Stadium will mark Arsenal's attempt to maintain first place in the standings following their victory over Tottenham in the North London derby. The Gunners will host Bournemouth. Arsenal are currently experiencing a memorable season, and we do not doubt that they will maintain their aggressive style of play. With the recovery of Jurrien Timber from injury, Mikel Arteta should have a complete squad from which to select.

In contrast, the Cherries look to build upon their 3-0 victory over Brighton. However, Bournemouth has lost their last six games at Emirates Stadium, likely the primary reason we will wager on the league leaders. Antonio Semenyo is a significant doubt for the visitors, and Milos Kerkez is sidelined due to suspension. Arsenal won their most recent meeting in London, 3-2, against Bournemouth. Consequently, an additional high-scoring match is imminent.

Head To Head And Previous Matches

At Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Arsenal defeated Tottenham 3-2 with three attempts on target. Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka both scored in the course of this Premier League match.

Six of Bournemouth's six attempts on target in their previous match at Vitality Stadium, which they won 3-0 over Brighton. This encounter occurred in the Premier League, and Marcos Senesi, Enes Unal, and Justin Kluivert scored.

The last time Emirates and Bournemouth met at Vitality Stadium, Arsenal emerged victorious by a score of 4-0.

Arsenal has defeated Bournemouth in six of their last seven meetings, with one draw and no victories by the visitors. In these contests, an average of 3.43 goals have been scored.

Our Predictions

Arsenal to win

Sunday's victory in the north London derby bolstered Arsenal's Premier League title prospects, and a win over Bournemouth on Saturday would allow them to sustain their psychological advantage over Manchester City.

The Gunners, who had just defeated Chelsea 5-0 the day before, stormed into a 3-0 lead over Spurs after 38 minutes on Sunday.

Cristian Romero and Heung-min each scored a goal. Son's performance after halftime strained Mikel Arteta's squad, but they managed to hold on for three points and maintain a one-point lead over Manchester City despite having played one game longer.

However, they can increase that margin to four points on Saturday before City's evening match against Wolves.

Over 3.5 goals

City still holds the title, but Arsenal can see off the Cherries at the Emirates Stadiums, where they have won 13 of their last 17 league matches this season, if they continue to win.

However, under Andoni Iraola, the Cherries are also having a respectable season and pose a threat, coming forward with 52 goals in 35 matches.

This season, Arsenal has maintained the finest defensive record in the Premier League; however, out of 16 clean sheets recorded, only six have occurred at the Emirates Stadium.

They typically play more freely on their home turf, and Bournemouth should take advantage of this.

The Cherries have only recorded one blank away from home in the league this season and are capable of posing a threat to Arsenal; therefore, Arsenal winning and both teams scoring could be the best wagers in this match.

The Gunners have averaged 2.43 goals per game in the Premier League this season. However, that number increases to 2.53 goals per game at home. Equipped with a completely fit squad, they should score enough goals to secure the victory.

Havertz to score anytime.

Although it has taken Kai Havertz some time to adjust to this Arsenal squad, he is beginning to prosper after scoring the game-winning goal against Tottenham the night after he scored twice against Chelsea.

This brings his total for the season to 12 goals in the Premier League. Only Bukayo Saka (15) has scored more. The German is a worthy pick to score against Bournemouth on the road this weekend.
