Tottenham vs Bournemouth Predicted Lineups

Tottenham Predicted XI: Guglielmo Vicario; Djed Spence, Micky Van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Pedro Porro; Rodrigo Bentancur, João Palhinha, Pape Sarr; Brennan Johnson, Richarlison, Mohammed Kudus.

Bournemouth Predicted XI: Ðjordje Petrović; Adrien Truffert, Marcos Senesi, Bafodé Diakité, Adam Smith; Tyler Adams; David Brooks, Marcus Tavernier, Alex Scott, Antoine Semenyo; Evanilson.

Both Thomas Frank and Andoni Iraola may keep vastly the same lineups as they used in the previous match day last weekend. The Cherries boss switched his side up for the midweek visit of Brentford on Tuesday, when they were knocked out of the EFL Cup.

As for injuries and suspensions, Frank will be missing a number of key players as the Lilywhites are continuing to suffer with an injury crisis. They will be without Bryan Gil (knee), Dejan Kulusevski (knee), James Maddison (acl), Kota Takai (foot), Manor Solomon (knock), and Radu Dragusin (acl), while Yves Bissouma and Destiny Udogie are doubts.

Iraola will be without Enes Ünal (acl) and Lewis Cook (knee) for the trip to North London.

Tottenham vs Bournemouth Current League Standings

After two fixtures have passed in the 2025/26 Premier League season, Tottenham and Bournemouth will both be pleased with their starts in the division. The Lilywhites secured a comfortable 3-0 win at home to Burnley on the opening day before making a statement by heading to the Etihad and collecting the huge scalp of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. Spurs are currently only one of three teams to achieve a 100% record so far.

Bournemouth could be seen as unlucky on the opening evening of the campaign, conceding two late goals against the champions to lose 4-2. They did bounce back well in their following game, as they beat Wolves 1-0.

Best Tottenham vs Bournemouth Betting Tips

Football Park’s Best Bet: Over 2.5 Goals & BTTS @ 1.8 - Recent form suggests confidence in a high scoring match. It was a 2-2 game last time out in this stadium and the last three meetings in North London have checked off these markets. Tottenham’s attack and defence have been very strong so far this season, and while Bournemouth seem vulnerable at the back, the threat going forward of Semenyo and Brooks will certainly cause issues for the hosts, and we back them to find the scoresheet too.

Key Players to Watch: Tottenham vs Bournemouth

Mohammed Kudus (Tottenham): Following his large transfer from London rivals West Ham, the Ghanaian international has taken no time to settle. He has looked lively both on and off the ball and has already registered two assists so far.

Pape Sarr (Tottenham): The Senegalese midfielder has earned his spot in the starting XI for Frank’s team and he looks like he’s been playing there for years. He also has an assist and has played every minute under the Dane so far. He also the key to keeping the ball and control in the middle of the park, and has won more duels and aerial duels than most other players in the league.

Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth): The shining star in their opening match against Liverpool followed it up with an assist against Wolves. Semenyo has been involved in all of Bournemouth’s goals so far this season, so will undoubtedly be the key to unlock any more.
