Bournemouth vs Tottenham: Preview, predictions and lineups
- Tottenham travel to Bournemouth on Thursday evening in the Premier League
- Lilywhites have drawn their last two games following Manchester City thrashing
- Cherries put four past Wolverhampton Wanderers during weekend win at Molineux
Tottenham Hotspur make the trip to the Vitality Stadium to lock horns with Bournemouth in the Premier League on Thursday evening.
A midweek round of English top-flight action offers Spurs an opportunity to return to winning ways after successive home draws. Their 4-0 hammering of reigning champions Manchester City was followed by tight clashes with Roma and Fulham on home soil.
This was a fixture that Tottenham triumphed in twice last season, with a 2-0 victory at the Vitality courtesy of goals from James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski. However, Spurs know to be wary of the south coast, with Man City and Arsenal having lost to the Cherries already this term.
Bournemouth's 4-2 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers brought a two-game losing run to an end. Justin Kluivert became the first player in Premier League history to score a hat-trick of penalties - Evanilson also becoming the first player to win three in a single match - with Bournemouth shooting up the table as a result.

Bournemouth vs Tottenham score prediction
Bournemouth have shown their ability to upset the odds this season, especially on home soil. The visit from an injury-stricken and inconsistent Spurs side is unlikely to unnerve the Cherries or Iraola too much.
Bournemouth's intensity and high-octane approach could take advantage of a Spurs side without their first-choice centre-back pairing and that field an extremely high line. Evanilson's darting runs in behind could cause problems for a Tottenham defence that don't keep an abundance of clean sheets.
Of course, Ange Postecoglou's side have plenty of attacking options themselves but have traditionally slipped up in these fixtures. Thursday's affair will be tight but the Cherries may secure another impressive win.
Prediction: Bournemouth 2-1 Tottenham
