Bournemouth vs Arsenal Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 30th September 2023

At Vitality Stadium, Arsenal and Bournemouth battle it out for three points in a Premier League match where both are in need of points to boost their tally.

Bournemouth are number 17 in the table on three points after six matches. Arsenal rank as number five with 14 points after six matches played.

Bournemouth are out to avenge a disappointing loss against Arsenal in their most recent meeting. According to the bookmakers, the home side could be in for another tough ride, though as it looks like an fairly unequal pairing at Vitality Stadium.

Bournemouth are not a high scoring team these days, as they only found the back of the net six times in the last ten outings. That is an average of just 0.6 goals per game, as they conceded 18 goals. They managed one clean sheets in these matches.

Arsenal scored an average of 1.8 goals a game in the past ten matches. They scored 18 goals, let in ten for an average of one a game, and managed four clean sheets.

It was an enormously entertaining 3-2 match, when these two sides last played each other in the Premier League. A similar feast of goals would go down well this coming Saturday.
