Tottenham Hotspur are out of form and on a two-game losing streak in the league. On Saturday, Tottenham will travel south to Dean Court to face Bournemouth.

Antonio Conte’s men are still in the Premier League title race mix. Tottenham are five points off first-place Arsenal and cannot afford to drop any more points.

Bournemouth’s surge following the sacking of manager Scott Parker is over. The Cherries are on a two-game losing streak as well ahead of Tottenham’s arrival. Bournemouth are 14th in the league ahead of Saturday’s match, with four points separating them from the bottom three.

The Cherries failed to score a goal in their last two Premier League games. They fell to West Ham and Southampton by a combined score of 3-0.

Tottenham experienced back-to-back defeats to Manchester United and Newcastle United. Spurs have not played well against fellow top-six teams. They lost to Arsenal, Newcastle, and Man United, and drew with Chelsea.

Spurs took nine points from the last six games in the league. They scored 11 goals and conceded nine times. Harry Kane is Tottenham’s bright spot, with 10 goals in 12 matches in the Premier League this season.

If it wasn’t for Manchester City’s Erling Haaland stealing the headlines, Kane would be talked about much more. Conte is still without Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski. The latter has been a big miss for the London club.

Bournemouth took six points from the last six games in the league. They were outscored 7-5 by the last six opponents. Interim manager Gary O’Neil is hopeful striker Dominic Solanke will be fit. Solanke has an ankle injury. Solanke has two goals this season.

David Brooks will miss the game for Bournemouth with a thigh injury. Lloyd Kelly is also out with an ankle problem. Goalkeeper Neto has a thigh injury and won’t be available for the match.

Bournemouth have scored the third-fewest goals in the Premier League with 10. The Cherries should struggle once more to score against Spurs’ defence. Tottenham have allowed 14 goals in 12 fixtures.

The Cherries failed to score in their last two games, while Spurs have kept six clean sheets in all competitions. Tottenham went unbeaten in five of their last six games against Bournemouth. The London club should post another win against Bournemouth, as they ease to victory.

Tottenham should win 2-0 as Bournemouth’s goalscoring problems continue. Kane could get on the scoresheet and notch his 11th goal of the campaign in the league.
