Arsenal v Bournemouth Betting Preview – Premier League 9th September 3.00pm

The Gunners will be out on the weekend looking to snap a two match losing streak in the top flight. They were trounced by Liverpool just before the international break and looked a total mess. Will they be able to pick themselves up and bank three points at the Emirates to give themselves a lift? Bournemouth are just one of four teams beneath Arsenal in the league standings heading into the weekend. But last time out they gave Manchester City a really tough time of things, so will they be able to pull out something special against the out-of-sorts Arsenal?

Arsenal v Bournemouth Betting Tips

The Gunners are feeling a bit of pressure then after back to back defeats in the Premier League. What kind of response do they have in them? It would be pretty disastrous if they suffered a loss in this one. It could have been worse too because they were 3-2 down with less than ten minutes to go against Leicester in their opening game at the Emirates until they found two late goals to spare their blushes. There were red flags in that game and the Gunners went on to lose away from home against Stoke and Liverpool, failing to score in either defeat. Will they find comfort back on home soil? There should be goals in this as last season’s two meetings produced ten goals in total. Over 3.5 goals at bet365 returns a price of even money and that’s worth a look. Arsenal have Alexandre Lacazette as the 3/1 first goalscorer outright favourite for the game.

At the back it has been something of a defensive mess from the Gunners so far and both teams to score at bet365 is a quote of 4/6. But they face a Bournemouth side who have been struggling early doors to get themselves up and running. They have lost all three of their league games so far and have scored only the one goal too which came in a 2-1 home loss against Man City just before the international break. So there are some issues there for Eddie Howe to sort out and they have scored in just one of their three previous trips to Arsenal in all competitions. That was in last season’s 3-1 loss at the Emirates. Bournemouth have a D1 L3 record in the Premier League against Arsenal, and each of those losses were by a two goal margin. Arsenal to win by a two goal margin at bet365 is a 10/3 price. Bournemouth won just three away games last season and may struggle to contain even an out-of-sorts Arsenal side.

Arsenal v Bournemouth Predictions

Arsenal to win: The Cherries don’t look a big threat to anyone and even though they produced some heroics against Man City which nearly paid off, they still lost and they may well do so against an Arsenal side who aren’t playing well. Arsenal to win to nil.
