Arsenal Take On Bournemouth In Saturday’s Lunchtime Kick-Off
Emirates Stadium | Premier League | Saturday April 11 | 12:30pm
With the business end of the Premier League season very much in sight, BetVictor News provides the Arsenal vs Bournemouth prediction, preview, H2H record, latest odds and betting angles ahead of Saturday’s showdown at the Emirates.
Arsenal Vs Bournemouth Preview
Another victory will edge Arsenal closer to their first Premier League title since Arsene Wenger’s Invincibles in 2004. And the Arsenal vs Bournemouth odds certainly suggest a home win is very much on the cards.
As it stands, the Gunners are nine points clear of Man City having played a game more. And with the Premier League outright winner market currently pricing the north Londoners at 1/8, it would take a monumental catastrophe for Mikel Arteta’s side to let slip of top spot.
As for Bournemouth, this season’s draw specialists will need to be at their very best to leave the capital with a positive result. Interestingly, the Cherries did record a fine 2-1 win at the Emirates last season. Which is only their third win against the Gunners in England’s elite.
Andoni Iraola’s side are on an incredible 11-match unbeaten streak. In that run, they’ve beaten the likes of Liverpool and Tottenham. The last time they lost? In the reverse fixture to Arsenal. Declan Rice netted twice in a 3-2 win at the Vitality.
Arsenal Vs Bournemouth H2H Record
Unsurprisingly, the Arsenal vs Bournemouth H2H record tilts firmly in the Gunners favour. Of the 19 previous matchups across all competitions, the north Londoners have won 14 times whilst losing just three times. Notably, two of those defeats came in the 2024-25 season.
Arsenal vs Bournemouth Premier League H2H:
- Arsenal wins – 12
- Bournemouth wins – 2
- Draws – 3
Arsenal Vs Bournemouth Team News
Piero Hincapie, Eberechi Eze and Mikel Merino are definitely out for Arsenal. There is also doubts over Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber. However, Declan Rice, Gabriel and and Leandro Trossard all featured in the 1-0 Champions League victory over Sporting midweek. Trossard actually picked up a fresh knock in Portugal and so did Martin Odegaard.
Despite his withdrawal from France’s U21 side in March’s internationals, Eli Junior Kroupi is likely to start on Saturday. Justin Kluivert and Julio Soler will not return until at least next month but Lewis Cook and Tyler Adams are rated 50/50.
