Tottenham vs Bournemouth Bet Builder Tips, Preview

Justin Kluivert has been electric this season and is really nicely priced to
hit the target away at Spurs here. Kluivert has hit the back of the net 12
times in the PL this season, arguably the best of this electric
Bournemouth front 3. In 22 starts, Kluivert has managed 52 shots and 26
of them on target.

Kluivert was a sub against Wolves in the FA Cup last time out, managing
2 shots off the bench, Before that, Kluivert had hit the target in both of
the last 2 games against Brighton and Wolves again. He’s hit the target
in 7 of his last 8 games in the Premier League, only failing at
Southampton surprisingly.

Spurs are without a clean sheet in 3 and pose a terrible defensive record.
In the reverse fixture, Kluivert only played 64 minutes and managed to
hit the target. Outarra who came on in a similar role, managed 5 shots in
just 26 minutes with 1 big chance missed. Kluivert will fancy his chances
against a weak Spurs side who afford chance a plenty.

Seeing Djed Spence priced this high to commit a foul is surprising, given
he was the same price on Thursday Night and committed 2. The Spurs
right or left back has averaged 0.92 fouls P/90 this season but since
getting a consistent run in the side has been a magnet to fouls.

Spence will likely be up against Semenyo off the right or if playing as a
right back against Marcus Tavernier and Justin Kluivert. The 3 of them
average 1.14, 1.15 and 1.02 fouls drawn P/90 respectively and are all
candidates for Spence to bring down. Since the turn of the year, Spence
has committed a foul in 5 of his 7 PL starts. Spence will struggle to deal
with the physicality of Semenyo on his weaker side and 1.67 is an
excellent price on current form.

If you’d have said at the start of the season that Bournemouth would be
favourites away at Spurs, you’d probably have been laughed at. The
reality of it is Bournemouth are 7th and pushing for European football
while Spurs are rotting in 13th and coming off defeat in the Europa
League, their only chance left at silverware.

Spurs were embarrassed in the reverse fixture this season, lucky to come
out with just a 1-0 defeat. Dean Huijsen’s goal from a corner was the
difference as Bournemouth racked up 3.71 xG , 7 big chances and 21
shots. Bournemouth are arguably an even better side away from home
this season, picking up 22 points in 14 games and landing this selection
in 10/14 travels.

Spurs have been beaten 7 times out of 14 at home in the PL this season
and Bournemouth are nicely priced at 2.45 to do this again. When it
comes to personnel, the hosts are riddled with injuries. Cristian Romero
faces a fitness test with Richarlison out injured and most importantly
Kulusevski out injured. Solanke came off the bench in midweek but won’t
be up to full fitness and I can’t see Spurs dominating on the front foot
here.

Antoine Semenyo probably landed every single selection in his last game.
The winger managed 8 shots, 2 on target with 2 fouls and 1 drawn
against Wolves in the cup. Focusing on Semenyo drawing fouls, he’s
drawn 1.14 fouls P/90 in the Premier League this season.

Semenyo is a physical winger and has lived up to expectations since
arriving from Bristol City. In the Premier league he’s drawn 5 fouls in his
past 7 and 12 in his past 12. Although he didn’t draw a foul in the reverse
fixture, he committed 3 and was well in the battles. He drew 3 fouls
across the 2 fixtures vs Spurs last season including 1 in this exact fixture.

Off the right side, Semenyo is likely to face either Djed Spence or Destiny
Udogie at left back. As forementioned, Spence is wildly overpriced for a
foul today at 1.67 having committed 2 in midweek and 1 off the bench
against Man City. Udogie himself averages 1.45 fouls P/90 this season
and constantly hit by injuries won’t be fully up to fitness.
