Tottenham-Bournemouth is a match on the 20th day of the Premier League and is played Sunday at 3 p.m.: TV, lineups, predictions.
To stay hooked to the others, who are pushing ahead, against Bournemouth at home Postecoglu’s Tottenham has only one result at its disposal. Victory of course, which on paper, given also the standings of the two formations, should come. However, the Londoners have major formation problems, so something could also happen.
Without the injured Romero, Maddison, Van de Ven, Bentancur, Solomon, Perisic, and Sessegnon and the disqualified Kulusevski and Bissouma, Spurs will take the field with an obligatory lineup in which Emerson Royal will again play as central defense. In short, not the best for such an important and last match of the year. In the last period then, the hosts have not done very well, on the contrary: they come to this match after the thrashing taken by De Zerbi’s Brighton: a defeat that was never in question both in terms of the result and also of the game. A burst of pride is needed, against a formation that comes on the strength of two wins in a row.
In the last five confrontations between the two teams three times Tottenham has won: but in the last previous one played precisely at the home of Spurs, last April, it was Bournemouth that took the entire stake. This will happen again. Let’s say it is quite difficult, in fact, we could say it is almost impossible. But watch out for this match, which so predictable, as we have told you, just isn’t.
The prediction
The London match at least one goal per team will give it away. No doubt. Then anything could happen, even that the guests manage to take home a draw. But we are convinced of something else: even because of the defeat against Brighton last weekend, Tottenham, struggling, should be able to take the three points.
