Matter of stats | Bournemouth vs Spurs – the numbers behind tonight’s clash
We put some strong statistics on the line when we face Bournemouth in the Premier League at the Vitality this evening (8.15pm UK).
For a start, we’ve been successful in 10 of our 14 encounters against the Cherries in the Premier League era – losing just twice. Of teams we’ve faced at least 10 times in the competition, we only have a better win rate against Swansea, at 79%.
Expect goals, as well, according to the stats – we average 2.5 goals per game against Bournemouth – that’s 35 goals in those 14 matches – our highest average against any team we’ve faced at least 10 times in the competition.
Meanwhile, we’ve only failed to score in one of our last 24 Premier League games played outside of London…
Match stats
– Heung-Min Son has nine goal involvements in his last 10 Premier League starts against Bournemouth (7 goals, 2 assists)
– James Maddison has had a hand in 14 goals across his 18 away league starts for Spurs (6 goals, 8 assists)
– Dejan Kulusevski has nine goal involvements across his last 13 away league starts for Spurs (5 goals, 4 assists)
– Each of our last five Premier League away wins have been to nil, including a 4-0 victory at reigning champions Manchester City last time out. However, we haven’t won any of our last 14 when conceding on the road (D5 L9), since a 2-1 win at Crystal Palace in October, 2023
– Bournemouth are unbeaten in all four of their Premier League games played on Thursdays (W1 D3) – only Blackburn (6 on Thursday) have played more often on a specific day of the week without ever losing in the competition
– Bournemouth have won three of their last four Premier League home games, though did lose 2-1 against Brighton last time out. They’ve not lost consecutive home league games since October, 2023
– Evanilson has won more fouls than any other Bournemouth player in the Premier League this season (23). Last time out against Wolves, he became the first player in Premier League history to win three penalties in a single match
