Betting tips for Bournemouth vs Arsenal 14.01.2018

The Vitality Stadium receives a visit from Arsenal in one of the most outstanding games of the 23rd round of the Premier League.

The Bournemouth fell to the 16th position in the Premier League after adding a new draw against Brighton & Hove Albion (2-2). The Cherries promised them very happy after strengthening themselves conscientiously this summer, with a budget of 122 million euros to return to stay in the middle table of the classification this season.

The players of Eddie Howe, who is celebrating his 5th season in the team's bench, were left with a bittersweet taste last year, in which they combined phases of good play with streaks of several games losing to inferior teams. This year, the Cherries have invested 34.3 million euros to recover the Dutch center Nathan Aké, for which they pay 22.8 million to Chelsea, who also pay 11.5 million more for the Bosnian goal Asmir Begovic. In addition, they are made with one of the best strikers of the championship, Jermain Defoe, who arrives free from Sunderland. Free end right Connor Mahoney comes from Blackburn Rovers. In terms of casualties, goalkeeper Ryan Allsop (to League One Blackpool) and Jamaican goal scorer Lewis Grabban, who replaces Defoe at Sunderland, leave the team via assignment.

After drawing 2 against Wigan last week, the Cherries will have to play a replay as a visitor to try to advance to the next round.


premier-leagueThe Arsenal occupies the 6th position in the Premier League, adding 39 points in the 22 days played after the draw against Chelsea in the match last weekend, which was played 48 hours ago. Arsene Wenger's team reached that first London Derby of 2018 after breaking a three-match winless streak that began with a tough home loss to Manchester United, which defeated them 1-3. The draws against Southampton (1-1 at St. Mary's) and precisely West Ham, at London Stadium, were broken with the victory for the minimum against Newcastle (1-0). However, Liverpool were tied at 3 from the Emirates before the Gunners beat the Crystal Palace at home by 2-3 on Thursday and dismissed the 2017 with a fair draw with West Bromwich (1-1).

Valuable winners of the FA Cup and Community Shield, the Gunners miss not playing in the Champions League for the first time in two decades. Last weekend, the Gunners fell for the first time in the 3rd round of the FA Cup (since Wenger is on the team) after losing 4-2 to Nottingham Forest. During the week, they tied with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge (0-0) in the first leg of the EFL Cup semifinals.

Olivier Giroud is the main casualty for this game, while it is expected that despite the rumors of possible departures, both Özil and especially Alexis Sánchez, are part of the starting lineup.
