Bournemouth could be playing Spurs at just the right moment. Having fallen to their first home defeat in their new stadium to West Ham lat weekend, Tottenham were said to be 'stressed and fatigued' according to their manager. They have also had to play Ajax in the Champions League first semi-final and the team is going to change for this game which comes at an awkward time for the London club.
The pressure will only mount with the last two games until Spurs secure the third or fourth spot in the table and at the moment the clubs chasing Spurs for those places haven't been putting wins together. It is all about who can get back-to-back wins now and Spurs have to come at AFCB which should suit a Bournemouth side more than in the past when they haven't been as effective as a counter-attacking team at home.
Eddie Howe will have a very good idea of how Spurs will try and use the ball in possession, but there will be moments when AFCB can make a turnover and this game could be just about whether Bournemouth can be as cutting-edge with their finishing as they were at Brighton and Southampton.

Spurs have been starting to concede goals and the fixture congestion could just impact on their season right at the end of it. This could be Bournemouth's best time to get their first win over Tottenham at home in the Premier League and it is a stat that would sit very nicely with the 4-0 drubbing of Chelsea earlier in the season.
