[(Tottenham Hotspur F.C.) Strength]:
1. Tottenham Hotspur F.C. are strongly motivated to keep unbeaten in this home game.
2. Brazilian center-forward Richarlison de Andrade has gained significant trust from new manager Thomas Frank this season. In the opening round of the Premier League, he started and scored a brace, including a spectacular overhead kick, helping the team make a good start. In the second round against Manchester City away, he provided an assist, contributing to the team's win. With 2 goals and 1 assist in two league games, he has repaid the manager's faith with exceptional form.
3. Tottenham Hotspur F.C. center-forward Dominic Solanke will face his former club in this game, and he is undoubtedly highly motivated to prove his worth against his old team. During his six-season stint with AFC Bournemouth, Solanke made 216 appearances, scoring 77 goals and providing 29 assists.
4. Tottenham Hotspur F.C. have embarked on the new season with a dream start, securing two consecutive wins in the Premier League while scoring five goals and conceding none. This demonstrates their terrifying dominance at both ends of the pitch. Even more impressively, they defeated Manchester City 2-0 away in the last round—a victory of substantial significance that solidifies their status as serious title contenders this season.
5. Tottenham Hotspur F.C. scored 5 goals in the last two games and kept clean sheets, with remarkable performances on both ends.
[(Tottenham Hotspur F.C.) Neutral]:
1. Reports indicate that Tottenham Hotspur F.C. are close to finalizing the signing of Xavi Simons. The two clubs have agreed on a transfer fee of 60 million euros, and personal terms have been settled. The 22-year-old Dutch midfielder completed his medical on Thursday, with only minor details remaining to formalize the move. His departure from RB Leipzig now hinges on the finalization of these last steps.
[(AFC Bournemouth) Strength]:
1. AFC Bournemouth are also motivated to get all 3 points in this away game.
[(AFC Bournemouth) Neutral]:
1. AFC Bournemouth received 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the last 5 encounters with close performances.
[(AFC Bournemouth) Weakness]:
1. AFC Bournemouth faced significant losses of key players during the summer transfer window, particularly in their defensive line. The team's manager now faces a severe challenge in rebuilding the defensive system for the new season.
2. AFC Bournemouth recently endured a grueling EFL Cup game midweek, which significantly drained the players' physical energy. With two games in one week, their fitness reserves are at a disadvantage.
3. AFC Bournemouth have struggled at the start of the new season, managing only one win and two losses in their three official games. Their sole victory came against weaker Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C., raising doubts about the quality of that result. Facing Tottenham Hotspur F.C. in this game presents a severe test for the Cherries, who are currently mired in a difficult phase.
4. AFC Bournemouth scored 4 goals and conceded 7 in the last 5 games with unsatisfactory performances on both ends.
[Tips]:
Tottenham Hotspur F.C. have made a remarkably strong start to the new season, particularly with their impressive 2-0 away victory over Manchester City in the second round, which further boosted their morale.
Returning home field this time, Tottenham Hotspur F.C. are more confident.
On the other hand, AFC Bournemouth lost to Brentford F.C. in the midweek's cup game, and the physical toll of two games in a week has left them at a disadvantage.
Moreover, they have no advantage in H2H records against Tottenham Hotspur F.C., and may be in danger this time.
Thus, we expect Tottenham Hotspur F.C. to have the last laugh.
