Tottenham – Bournemouth

The capital club will beat the upcoming opponent for the second time this season

Last round Tottenham broke another winning streak of the current season. And in Brighton, the team lost without the slightest chance of success. However, it's still too early for the Spurs to put the ashes on their heads. Despite a period of instability for the London club after a phenomenal ten rounds at the start, the gap from the table leader is now only six points. The capital team has a great opportunity to rehabilitate on the last day of 2023 in front of the home fans. Moreover, the opponent will arrive, with whom you can and should pick up three points. Bournemouth, unlike the upcoming opponent, failed in the early part of the season, but later played up and got a number of important and unexpected victories. Such clubs as Manchester United and Newcastle have been under the "crush" since mid-November. "Cherries" now represent a worthy opponent, which is well aware of in London. Bookmakers have identified the hosts as favourites for the upcoming meeting, offering odds of 1.80 on their victory. Tottenham after the starting ten rounds had eight wins and two draws. During this period, the team defeated Liverpool, Manchester United and a number of good mid-table league sides. The evil fate befell Spurs after a 1:4 defeat to Chelsea, a match in which Tottenham were left with nine men for a long period of time. Since then, the London side have produced a stretch of five games with just one point. Spurs have managed to get back on track since mid-December, but the last round saw another misfire. In Brighton, Tottenham were losing 0:4 in the 80th minute, but managed to preserve their honour and dignity by scoring two prestige goals. Bournemouth not only picked up 19 of the 21 possible points in the last seven rounds, but also beat Newcastle and Manchester United, and took a 2-2 draw away from Birmingham Aston Villa. This period also included the match against Luton Town, which was not completed due to health problems of one of the players. It was interrupted at the score of 1:1. In the first round the rivals met in Bournemouth. Tottenham scored one unanswered goal in each of the halves, managing to win 2-0. Most likely, the capital club will repeat the success.
