Tottenham have been a frustrating team to follow for many bettors this season, as they have typically followed an excellent result with a setback.
There was evidence once again over the weekend after failing to capitalize on a stunning win over Man City after being held to a home draw by Fulham.
Bournemouth will have the home field advantage on Thursday, as they bid to continue their excellent run of Premier League form. The Cherries were last in action on Saturday when beating Wolves 4-2 at Molineux.
Odds
Tottenham’s inconsistent nature will make them a dangerous favorite at +148 on Thursday. Bournemouth are available at +166 to pick up maximum points at the Vitality Stadium.
| Match Result | Odds |
|---|---|
| Bournemouth | +166 |
| Draw | +290 |

Therefore, a chance could be taken on the points being shared.
