Bournemouth vs. Tottenham – Team News, Match Preview and Prediction

On Sunday, Tottenham yet again fell short in holding on to their lead given by Ben Davies in the first half hour of the game as it was equalised in the form of Brian Brobbey’s 80th-minute strike. They have a chance to turn things around, as Bournemouth are also struggling with form and are 15th in the league with just 5 wins in the season.

Bournemouth vs.Tottenham – Match preview and head-to-head

The Cherries are winless in their last 11 games, with 6 losses and 5 draws. This will surely be a test for Andoni Iraola’s side. They were unlucky not to snatch a point against league leaders Arsenal in their last game, losing 2-3 at home. They took the lead in the 10th minute but failed to hold on against a Declan Rice masterclass, who scored a brace.

On the other hand, Thomas Frank’s side have been in poor form, winning just two of their last 11 games. The Danish manager’s style of play has not been received well by the fans. As Spurs find themselves in 13th place, the pressure keeps mounting for the former Brentford manager. The Lilywhites are still searching for their first win of 2026.

Overall, Bournemouth and Spurs have met 18 times across all competitions. Spurs have had the upper hand in this fixture with 10 wins. With the Cherries, just five matches have been won, and three have ended in draws. The North London club last won this fixture in 2023, 3-1.

In their recent fixture this season, Bournemouth had the upper hand with a close 0-1 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. They have won two matches out of their last three games against the Lilywhites. They are on an unbeaten run of three matches and will look to continue the same on Thursday.

Bournemouth vs. Tottenham- Team News

Bournemouth are already without Matai Akinmboni, Veljko Milosavljevic, Ryan Christie, Tyler Adams and Ben Gannon Doak. They might also be missing their leading man, Antoine Semenyo, who featured for the Cherries in their loss against Arsenal and has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester City this window. So there has been a doubt about his further participation in the league for Bournemouth.

Spurs are already missing Dejan Kulusevski, Destiny Udogie, James Maddison and Dominic Solanke due to various injuries. After the Sunderland game, Thomas Frank has had more headaches, with Mohammed Kudus, who was injured and left the game in the 19th minute. He might also be missing the next match as he was seen leaving the ground holding his left thigh. However, there has been no information about the seriousness of the injury for the Ghanaian winger.

Prediction

Bournemouth came close to earning a draw against league leaders Arsenal at home. But the match ended in a 2-3 loss for the side. Despite showcasing a fight, they went down. However, keeping the record against Spurs in mind, they will look to turn things around and get back to their winning ways.

Spurs, having drawn their last two games, have been under pressure. Thomas Frank’s side have been on the back foot for the majority of the season. Anything except a win will create more problems for the Danish manager, who has already been under the scanner from the fans. They do not have the best of records against the Cherries in recent times. However, things can change in their favour on Thursday.

Bournemouth 1-2 Tottenham.
