LiontipsArsenal vs Bournemouth. Prediction and bets on the friendly match
Command Analysis
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 .

Arsenal are playing successfully against Bournemouth, winning their last five head-to-head matches. Both teams will not play with their main squads, but the depth of the bench is much more solid for the Gunners . Plus, Arteta is one of those specialists who demands results from his players in all tournaments and matches. The Cherries were unable to beat Wrexham in the first match and can hardly even count on a draw today.
Our forecast is Arsenal to win at odds of 1.85 at bookmaker Winline
Bet on total
In five previous head-to-head matches, Arsenal regularly scored against Bournemouth at least twice. It is unlikely that this streak will be interrupted today in a friendly match.

First half bet
It is worth paying attention to the fact that in each of the last five head-to-head matches, the Gunners indicated their advantage at the start and won at the end of the first half. We believe that the upcoming meeting will follow the same scenario.
