The early Premier League game this Saturday takes place in the English capital as sixty thousand fans congregate at the Emirates to see table-leaders Arsenal welcome 13th-place Bournemouth. Looking at all the factors, I feel that a low-scoring affair is more plausible than the early odds make out.
First of all, Arsenal had a taxing game in the week in the Champions League, in Portugal, only claiming the win with one goal in the last minutes of the game. Therefore, in view of the upcoming second leg, The Gunners certainly won’t be looking to go all guns blazing here and risk anything silly. Besides, we all know how Arsenal excel defensively and at keeping the goals to a minimum.
On the flip side, Bournemouth are now in a position where they don’t need to worry about the bottom three, whilst they know it's unlikely that they’ll make it higher up the table, so I feel they’ll be more than happy with a tie against a top-rate Arsenal side. Plus, The Cherries haven’t gotten past a tie in all of their last five matches, failing to net in three.

Our Arsenal vs Bournemouth Prediction
Despite the five goals shared when Arsenal and Bournemouth last met back in January, both sides only created an expected goal of just above 1.00. Additionally, The Cherries have been scoring a lot less frequently since the departure of starman Semenyo, as well as the injury of Kluivert.
Given this, Bournemouth know it’ll be hard to break down Arteta’s men on their home turf, and surely will be satisfied with a tie here. On a similar note, Arsenal won’t see any need to exert more efforts than necessary, and will also be content with a simple win.
Our Arsenal vs Bournemouth Pick: Under 2.5 Goals.
