Arsenal vs Bournemouth: Top Two Tips
Premier League predictions ahead of Bournemouth's trip to the league leaders Arsenal on Saturday. The Gunners top the table by 5pts and are expected to beat their struggling guests comfortably after they thrashed Everton 4-0 at the Emirates on Wednesday night.
Contents
Arsenal to Win-to-Nil
Our first prediction for Arsenal vs Bournemouth is for the home team to win and keep a clean sheet. Arsenal have won five of their last six encounters with the Cherries and the Gunners have kept two clean sheets in their last three league games against Saturday's guests. Arteta's side have won their last three matches in the Premier League, keeping clean sheets in their last two outings, while Bournemouth have lost three of their last six league games and have failed to score in two of their last three away trips.
Gabriel Martinelli to Score
For our second Arsenal vs Bournemouth prediction we delving into the Anytime Goalscorer market. Martinelli top scores for the Gunners this season with 11 Premier League goals. The Brazilian scored twice in midweek against Everton and the 21-year-old is in red-hot form right now with 4-goals in his last three league games for the Gunners, so you can see just why we've backed Martinelli to score against relegation-battling Bournemouth this weekend.

Let's take a look at the latest markets and odds ahead of Arsenal vs Bournemouth.

Bournemouth odds: 14/1 (15.00) – 6.7%
*all odds provided are the best price at the time of publication and come from various bookmakers and therefore the probabilities won't always add up to 100%.
Arsenal are huge favourites to secure all 3pts this weekend, and we can't argue with the bookmakers who have given the Gunners an 80% probability of winning on Saturday. If you expect this game to be low-scoring and want to back more football betting tips then Under 2.5 Goals at 6/4 (2.50) has a probability of 40%, while a bet on Over 2.5 Goals is currently priced at 11/18 (1.61) and the probability is a lot higher at 62.1%.
Arsenal vs Bournemouth Lineups
Arsenal
Arsenal were made to work hard for their first goal against Everton in midweek but once that came there was never any doubting the end result. Saka fired the Gunners in front after 40-minutes at home to the Toffees and Martinelli added a second before the break. In the second half, Arsenal scored a further two goals through Odegaard and Martinelli to wrap up a convincing 4-0 victory. Jesus and Elneny remain the two main injury concerns for Arsenal ahead of this weekend's match against Bournemouth.
Predicted Lineup – Ramsdale (GK), Gabriel, White, Saliba, Xhaka, Jorginho, Zinchenko, Ødegaard, Saka, Trossard & Martinelli
Bournemouth
Bournemouth played host to title-chasing Man City last time out and found themselves 4-0 down after 51-minutes. Lerma managed to score a consolation goal for the home side in the 83rd-minute but the Cherries simply must put in a better performance if they want to avoid a similarly heavy defeat away at the league leaders this weekend. Brooks, Zabarnyi, Kelly, Cook, Tavernier, Stanislas and Matias could all miss the trip to the capital on Saturday.
Predicted Lineup – Neto (GK), Smith, Stephens, Senesi, Mepham, Zemura, Lerma, Billing, Traorè, Solanke & Ouattara

Player to Watch: Gabriel Martinelli
Martinelli is in great form right now for the Gunners with 4-goals in his last three league games and we're backing the young Brazilian to have a big impact this weekend when Arsenal play host to a struggling Bournemouth side.
Martinelli scored twice in midweek as Arsenal ran out 4-0 winners at home to another relegation-threatened side, Everton, and we expect the 21-year-old to run riot against a poor Bournemouth defence. Martinelli has now scored 11-goals in the Premier League this season, making him the club's top scorer ahead of Saka.
Arsenal have a lot of attacking options in their side and don't rely on one player, but we still think that an in-form Martinelli will cause Bournemouth a lot of problems this weekend.
