Arsenal vs Bournemouth. Prediction and bets on the friendly match

Arsenal have finished the season in the Premier League in second place for two years in a row. The Gunners are just a little short of the title, but Mikel Arteta has clearly created a team that is capable of fighting for the highest places. You should not expect that all the main players will take to the field today, since many performers are still on vacation after completing major international competitions with their national teams.

Let us note that in the off-season certain steps were taken to change the composition. So, Lokonga and Tavares went on loan, but Soares and Elnenny did not receive new contracts. The contract of goalkeeper David Raya was bought from Brentford for 32 million euros. In addition, Kieran Tierney and Marquinhos returned from loan.

Bournemouth, led by Spanish specialist Andoni Iraola, made significant progress and finished in 12th position in the Premier League. “Cherry” did not fight for survival, which for a modest team can be considered a great success.

Let us note that Bournemouth has already played one friendly match, in which they tied with Wrexham (1:1). Forward Chris Mepham is injured. During the offseason, Kieffer Moore, Lloyd Kelly, Jamal Lowe, and Andrei Radu left the club. Among the newcomers, we note goalkeeper Alex Paulsen and striker Daniel Jacobson .
