Tottenham
Thomas Frank's side has surprisingly found themselves among the top three, having collected 6 points from two matches. Alongside Tottenham, only Liverpool and Arsenal have achieved maximum points after two games. Notably, the Londoners followed up their commanding home victory over Burnley (3-0) with a sensational away win against Manchester City (2-0). This comes after a seven-match winless streak in the league (1 draw and 6 losses).
- Exactly two or three goals have been scored in 5 of Tottenham's last 6 Premier League games.
- The team has not scored more than one goal in 7 of their last 10 home league matches.

Due to injuries, defenders Destiny Udogie and Radu Dragusin, midfielders Yves Bissouma, James Maddison, and Dejan Kulusevski are out of action.
Bournemouth
The team has started the season without surprises or unexpected results. In the first round, Andoni Iraola's side lost 2-4 away to Liverpool, followed by a 1-0 home win against Wolverhampton. It's worth noting that Bournemouth has only won 4 of their last 15 Premier League matches (4 draws and 7 losses).

Tottenham vs. Bournemouth: Match Prediction
Few were surprised by the Londoners' victory in the first round against Burnley. After all, the opponent had just been promoted from the Championship and had a weaker squad. However, in the last match, Thomas Frank's side unexpectedly defeated Manchester City with a clean sheet. This is becoming a trend. The London club clearly aims to redeem themselves after a disappointing last season.
Additionally, Tottenham has a strong record in head-to-head encounters with this opponent in the Premier League. In the last 8 meetings in London, the hosts have won 6 times (1 draw and 1 loss). Bournemouth is dangerous away, but they have only managed one win in their last 7 league matches.
Considering all of the above, I believe the Londoners will continue their climb up the league table. My prediction: Tottenham to win
