AFC Bournemouth will lock horns with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League 2022-23 at Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth on Saturday, October 29. The match will start at 7:30 PM IST (Indian Standard Time).
Bournemouth have won three, drawn four and lost five of their 12 games so far this season. They were on a six-game unbeaten run following a 9-0 humbling against Liverpool before losing their last two fixtures against Southampton and West Ham United.
On the other hand, Tottenham have been a force to reckon under Antonio Conte. The 2-0 victory over Everton earlier this month saw them endure their best start to an English top-flight season since the 1963-64 campaign. However, they are winless in three matches in all competitions since then, with twin losses to Manchester United and Newcastle United in EPL and a 1-1 draw against Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League putting brakes to their strong run.

Bournemouth’s top picks and players to watch vs Tottenham Premier League 2022-23
Philip Billing: The Denmark midfielder has scored three goals and provided one assist in his last seven EPL matches and has been one of the most important players in the Bournemouth midfield. With an accurate pass percentage of 76%, his presence on the field will be vital for his team.
Jefferson Lerma: The 28-year-old Colombian is the joint-second-highest scorer for Bournemouth this season with two goals. Furthermore, he has won 64% of the tackles that he was involved in this campaign in addition to 84% accurate passes. His creativity in the box will be a worry for the Spurs’ defence, who would be eyeing a clean sheet in this contest.
Tottenham’s top picks and players to watch vs Bournemouth Premier League 2022-23
Harry Kane: Even though Kane’s performances have been overshadowed by Haaland’s goal-scoring spree, the Englishman remains instrumental for his side when it comes to scoring goals. Interestingly, he scored a hat-trick in their EPL game against Bournemouth in 2015-16 and has followed up with four more goals since then, which shows how well he knows The Cherries’ defence over the years.
Heung-Min Son: Although goals haven’t come easy for Son, the Korean midfielder has been impressive for Spurs this season. He has scored one hat-trick this campaign against Leicester City, which is his goal contribution in addition to two assists. Nonetheless, he has scored five goals versus Bournemouth since joining Spurs in 2015 and will be looking to add to his tally against them.
Bournemouth vs Tottenham Premier League 2022-23 prediction
Given Tottenham’s record against Bournemouth as mentioned earlier, the Antonio Conte-coached side is expected to emerge victorious once again when the two sides meet at the Vitality Stadium.
Also, Bournemouth have the worst defensive record currently in the Premier League as they have let in 25 goals so far, the most by any team, while Spurs are the third-highest goal scorers this season. This suggests another victory for Spurs, who will look to end their three-game winless run.
