Tottenham take on the visitors Bournemouth in the round 31 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, April 15th at Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium (London).
Tottenham have already dropped out of the top four in the league and simply cannot afford to falter in their home match against an opponent of this level. In the previous round, the "Spurs" secured an important victory at home against strong Brighton (2-1). Previously, they also defeated Nottingham Forest (3-1), Chelsea (2-0), and West Ham (2-0) at home. Even in their last two away matches of the championship, the Tottenham players missed out on a victory in the last minutes, settling for a draw with Everton (1-1) and Southampton (3-3). I think in the next round, the "Spurs" are obligated to take all three points in the match against modest Bournemouth.

The "Cherries" do indeed look like a modest opponent compared to Tottenham, lagging behind the "Spurs" in terms of players’ class. Yes, in the previous round, Bournemouth managed to beat a "dead" Leicester (1-0) and move three points clear of the relegation zone. But before that, they suffered a defeat to the aforementioned Brighton "Seagulls" (0-2) and Aston Villa (0-3) on their home turf. The main trump card for the "Cherries" is their home matches, and away from home, this team very rarely picks up points, especially in matches where the opponent is clearly of a higher class.
Despite all their problems, the "Spurs" are the clear favorites in the match against Bournemouth. Yes, both teams have huge tournament motivation. But the difference in class and the home-field advantage are in Tottenham's favor. In 15 home matches in the EPL, the Londoners have won 11 times, with five of their most recent victories coming with a total score of 10-2. In contrast, Bournemouth suffered 10 defeats in 15 away matches of the championship, losing three of their last five such matches. In the first round of the current season, Bournemouth even lost to the "Spurs" on their home turf (2-3). The last two away trips to Tottenham also ended in failure: 0-5 and 2-3. In this match, I take a simple but logical bet on W1 (home team win).
Prediction for the match: Tottenham to win.
