The best betting odds on a draw at full-time with the bookies are at 4.50.

Bournemouth have a win and a defeat to show from the first couple of outings in the Premier League season. Naturally, they hope for more of the former, when stepping up at Vitality Stadium looking for a second win. Arsenal are strutting like peacocks before this round tree encounter after securing two wins from two matches in the opening rounds of the new Premier League season.

Both Bournemouth and The Gunners aim to do their best to prove to their respective set of fans they are the better team on the pitch. We are bound to see an exciting game on Saturday.

Bournemouth only average a modest 1.3 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 13 goals. They also conceded 20 for an average of two per game. They kept their opponents from scoring two times.

Ahead of their coming Premier League match, The Gunners look in excellent goal-scoring shape. In their previous ten games, they hammered in an average of 2.2 goals a game. A highly respectable total of 22 goals, while also letting in 14 goals. The latter leaves an average of 1.4 per outing, in which they managed one clean sheet.

Bournemouth vs Arsenal Prediction

In their last three matches, Bournemouth beat Millwall by 1-0 and Aston Villa by 2-0, before losing against Manchester City by 4-0. Bournemouth only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Premier League matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew one and lost three, as they scored seven and conceded nine goals.

The target is set for Bournemouth whose aim is to stay above the relegation line in the coming season in the Premier League.

Arsenal are in awesome shape going into this next encounter, as they won their last three matches on the bounce. Everton got left behind in a 5-1 win, before Crystal Palace got hammered in a 0-2 victory. Leicester was the most recent victim in a 4-2 win for Arsenal. Arsenal won half their previous six away matches in the Premier League, as well as seeing zero draws and suffering three defeats. They scored eight goals whilst conceding nine.

Arsenal enter the season as candidates for a top three finish, but more than a third place would in the end would be a rather big surprise.

We expect Arsenal to come home from the away trip to Vitality Stadium with a win, but Bournemouth have enough resistance in them to avoid getting hammered. Value lies with the away win in a combination fewer than 3.5 goals.
