Arsenal v Bournemouth Betting Tips [3 May 2025]

Arsenal will target hitting 70 points this weekend when they play host to Bournemouth in their next Premier League engagement. The Gunners have a five-point buffer in second, 18 points more than 11th-placed Brentford going into matchday 35. Read on for our prediction of this match. 

Arsenal are forced to juggle between league and Champions League commitments. There isn’t much to fight for in the league, but holding on to second spot will come with a lot of significance. 

They lost 1-0 at home to PSG in their latest outing, while their last league ended in a 2-2 draw. In their last nine matches, the Gunners managed just three wins.

Bournemouth were the first to beat Arsenal in the league this season. That 2-0 win back in October was aided heavily by William Saliba’s red card. 

The Cherries will be looking to seal a double over Arsenal, one of the top sides in the league. While the Gunners have been on a decline, especially in the league, Bournemouth’s performances haven't been great.

The visitors will arrive for this game having managed only one win in their last 11 matches. Five of those were defeats. Away to Arsenal, Bournemouth suffered seven defeats in seven matches.

Arsenal’s injury curse continues into the latter stages of the season, and most of them have been in defensive areas. This is believed to have contributed to their low return in clean sheets compared to last season.

A few of their forward players are also missing, but Arsenal have managed to improvise, and rarely do they fail to score. The Gunners are also dominant in this fixture and will be confident against a Bournemouth side that is lately struggling. Our prediction for Arsenal v Bournemouth will be for Arsenal to win and both teams to score.
