Arsenal vs Bournemouth Predictions

I think Arsenal will win this one comfortably at home. Although Bournemouth have had a good season and are by no means pushovers, I think the Gunners will be too strong for them at the Emirates this weekend. They have lost just one of their last 10 matches in the Premier League, a defeat in a poor display against West Ham, and have only lost three league games all season. They are in pole position to finish second behind Liverpool, sitting five points ahead of third-placed Newcastle. Bournemouth are in tenth, and have lost four of their last 10 in the league. I think Arsenal will come away with the three points here.

I’m backing two players to have one or more shots on target here – Mikel Merino and Antoine Semenyo. Merino has been employed as a striker for most of this season under Mikel Arteta, and has had relative success. He has scored eight goals in his 39 appearances in all competitions, with six in 25 in the Premier League. He has had 13 shots on target, an average of over 0.5 per game. Antoine Semenyo has bagged nine goals in his 33 Prem appearances this season, with 38 shots on target, an average of more than one per game. Both sides will have chances in this one, and I think both players are good odds to have one or more shots on target.

Ryan Christie is the man we’re backing to pick up a booking here. The Scotsman has been carded nine times in his 29 Premier League appearances this season, taking his card tally to 17 in 98 Prem matches for Bournemouth. This season, he has made 43 fouls, giving him an average of slightly under 1.5 fouls per game. Coming up against a strong Arsenal side here, I think he will be forced into a couple of fouls, and is great odds to pick up his tenth league booking of the season.
