Bournemouth vs Arsenal Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

The final FA Cup fourth-round clash of the weekend sees an intriguing tie at the Vitality Stadium as Bournemouth host Arsenal on Monday night.

This fixture will provide perhaps an unwelcome distraction for both sides, who are certainly not where they will want to be in the Premier League.

Eddie Howe’s men have lost 10 of their last 13 league games and are in the relegation zone on goal difference, whilst the Gunners sit 10th after winning just two of their last 16 games in the competition.

Bournemouth vs Arsenal Latest Odds

Bournemouth have actually won two of their last three home games in all competitions but are out at 15/4 (4.75) with bet365 to beat Arsenal for the first time in over two years.

The Gunners have only won one of their previous 12 away games in all competitions yet bet365 make them 7/10 (1.70) favourites to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup.

It is 29/10 (3.90) that these two sides replicate the result of their previous meeting and that a replay is needed to split them.

Bournemouth vs Arsenal Team News

David Luiz is suspended after seeing red against Chelsea last midweek, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also serving the last game of his three-match ban. Reiss Nelson, Sead Kolasinac, Kieran Tierney and Calum Chambers are all injured.

Joshua King, Jack Stacey, Arnaut Danjuma, Charlie Daniels, David Brooks and Chris Mepham are all out for Bournemouth, meaning Howe will likely be forced to field his strongest XI available.

A solid cup run can be a good way for teams having poor seasons to give their fans something to shout about.

However, Bournemouth’s main priority will certainly be climbing away from the threat of relegation and extending their stay in the Premier League whilst Mikel Arteta will be hoping to challenge for at least a Europa League place.

With both teams potentially distracted by their Premier League exploits, it could be a relatively low-key affair on the south coast.

Therefore, the 19/20 (1.95) quote from bet365 on under 2.5 goals looks excellent value ahead of this FA Cup fourth-round clash at the Vitality Stadium.

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
