Matchweek 20 of the Premier League has arrived as Arsenal makes the trip to face Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium in a game that sees first place take on 15th. We are officially halfway through the Premier League season, and there is plenty at stake for both sides in this game.
Arsenal are -205 favorites on the moneyline for this one on DraftKings Sportsbook, with a draw available at +380. Fancy a Bournemouth upset? The Cherries are +500 to pick up three points.
Bournemouth vs. Arsenal Prediction, Pick
This bet can be found under the “Match Parlays” tab. After a slight stumble in November and early December, Arsenal look to be back to their very best. They dominated Aston Villa 4-1 in their last match and will go into Saturday’s game with a ton of confidence. The Gunners have now won four straight Premier League games.
Their opposition Bournemouth are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get. They drew 2-2 with Chelsea in their last match, but it was a 4-1 loss to Brentford in the game before that. The common theme for the Cherries recently is that they concede too many goals. In their last four Premier League games, they’ve conceded 11 times. For context, Arsenal have conceded 12 times in 19 games. I think Bournemouth will have trouble defensively once again in this one, going against the second best attack in the league this season.
The Gunners do well historically in this fixture, winning four of the last six Premier League games between these teams. They did drop both games to Bournemouth last season, but I think the Gunners are in a much better place this season, and you could argue that the Cherries have dropped down a level since last campaign, when they finished ninth. Bournemouth started the season in fine form, but are now winless in their last 10 Premier League matches.
This should be a comfortable win for the Gunners with goals aplenty.
