Bournemouth vs Arsenal odds
The Cherries’ tough start to the season at home continues, as after being held to draws by West Ham and Chelsea and suffering a 2-0 defeat to Tottenham, they now welcome last season’s runners-up in Arsenal to the Vitality. Andoni Iraola is winless in all six of his Premier League games in charge of Bournemouth (D3 L3), while only Everton (0) have scored fewer home Premier League goals this season than Bournemouth (1), with the Cherries underperforming their expected goal total on home soil by 2.1 (one goal scored vs 3.1 xG).
Arsenal, meanwhile, are looking to make it three consecutive wins on the road after leaving Selhurst Park and Goodison Park with all three points after back-to-back 1-0 wins away from home. The Gunners are unbeaten in the Premier League this season, having taken 14 points out of a possible 18 in their opening five matches, as they look once again to fight Manchester City for the Premier League title.
Mikel Arteta’s men have an impressive recent record against Bournemouth, winning 11 of their 14 matches against them in all competitions (79%), only boasting a better win % against sides they have faced 10+ times against Reading (100%) and Glossop North End (86%). The Cherries only Premier League victory against Arsenal came back in 2018, suffering defeat in three of the last four head-to-head meetings in the league.
