AFC Bournemouth, struggling to break a winless streak, will host Arsenal, who are aiming to contend for the title. This match represents a direct confrontation between a team fighting to avoid relegation and one striving for championship glory. Bournemouth typically employs a flexible 4-4-2/5-4-1 formation this season, with their tactics centered on defensive counter-attacks. They rely on Semenyo's speed (33.8 km/h) and Solanke's finishing ability as the core of their counter-attacks, creating threats through long passes and left-wing attacks. Their two goals against Chelsea in the midweek match came from this tactical approach. However, their defense has significant vulnerabilities, conceding 35 goals in the first 19 matches. Following Kelly's injury, the central defensive pairing lacks pace, and their passing accuracy from the back is only 72% when pressed, and their midfield is weak at interceptions, struggling to consistently contain opponents. In this home game, Bournemouth needs to compress space with a tight defensive line and quickly distribute the ball relying on Billing's midfield control to seize counter-attacking opportunities. Arsenal, on the other hand, is built upon a mature possession-based system, primarily using a 4-3-3 formation, which can flexibly switch to 3-4-3. They control the game's rhythm with an 83% passing success rate and high pressing. The midfield duo of Rice and Zubimendi provides a double screen, combining interception and organisation, while Ødegaard's through balls and long shots form the core of their attacking creativity, with Saka's inside cuts and set-piece tactics being stable scoring methods. Their performance is top-tier in both offense and defense, scoring 37 goals and conceding only 12 in the first 19 matches. However, they are currently facing defensive injuries, and Rice's potential absence will weaken their midfield interception and ability to play out from the back, and they often start slowly in away games, having conceded the first goal in their last 3 away matches. Good luck. Arsenal -1
