Arsenal U23 vs Bournemouth U23 tips and predictions

Hosts to come unstuck

Bournemouth U23 are coming into the match looking for a win. Their odds aren't giving anything away though. The following preview identifies some key stats in order to make the best value prediction, which is the away win. Readers can look forward to some high calibre football as the visitors tackle this one.

There's nothing inevitable about this fixture but the hosts could still be frustrated by some of their recent results. Arsenal U23 haven't been reliable from a betting point of view. They've lost 2 of their last 3 games as hosts. They will be looking to regain confidence at the back. Giving up an average of 3.3 goals over their latest 4 matches on their own paddock has given them plenty to think about.

In a clash that has various opinions, there is plenty of evidence for supporting the visitors. Bournemouth U23 have been successful in 5 of their last 9 campaigns. Most of their good results have been helped by how clinical they can be in front of goal. They've scored 2.2 goals on average over their last 20 games which is a statistic they will want to add to here.

It's possible that this match will be determined by which team is the first to open their account. The sportsbooks expect goals at both ends of the park as they can both be dangerous in attack. It isn't a strong view and it might not be that exciting but the BTTS No looks a bit more tempting on this occasion.
