Tottenham travels to Bournemouth this evening looking for a win that would enhance their bid to end this season in a European place.
A place in the top four is out of the question, but the Lilywhites can still make the Europa League, which would also be considered a success given that they didn’t start this season in the best possible manner.
Their opponent in this game is one that could yet be relegated at the end of this campaign unless their season somehow turns around.
Eddie Howe’s Cherries have lost their last five matches on the bounce and eight of their last ten games in all competitions.
It has been a season of one woeful result after another for the South Coast side and soccer pundit, Mark Lawrenson has predicted yet another loss for the Cherries via his BBC column.
Both of these teams are chasing different end of season goals, but Lawrenson reckons that Tottenham won’t become the first team that Bournemouth stops from winning in six attempts.
He predicts that Mourinho’s team will end up winning by a score of 2-0
What was most notable about Lawro’s prediction was not how good Tottenham are and that their quality will overpower their opponents but more about how poor Howe’s men are playing. In better words, Bournemouth will lose the game because of how rotten they are and that is the only reason Spurs will win.
A win would lift Spurs above Arsenal on the league table and it would also see them move into what will likely be a Europa League spot.
Has Lawro got his Bournemouth v Tottenham prediction spot on or do you think he is well wrong?
