Paul Merson backs Bournemouth to win 2-1 at Tottenham
Merson be✨lieves Tottenham will be fully preoccupied with the Europa League at present, with the ꧒tie still not a foregone conclusion.
ꦗThe pundit’s prediction came before Spurs’ 1-0 loss to AZ in their last-16 first leg.
However, the narrow defeat 🍨ahead of the ✃second leg at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium means Spurs are still in with a chance.
Indeed, Glenn Hoddle said🌸 after🍬 the game that Tottenham will be happy with the result and, as such, wi🍌ll be focusing on the second leg.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth will have had more rest and wiꦦll be fully focused on domestic matters, which is why Merson has backed the visitors to win 2-1.
“This is all going to come down to wh🅰at happens with Tottenham in the Europa League,” Merson wrote on .
“I don’t think Spurs have✅ any intere🥀st in this match.
“Consideriꦬng their upcoming fixtures, they⛦ have no chance of getting into Europe through league standings!
“So Iဣ 💙won’t blame Tottenham if they rest players this weekend.
“Spurs w𝄹ill have one eye on🀅 AZ Alkmaar and I feel Bournemouth will win because of that.
“Three points here would put Bournemouth in contention for a top four finish, what an inc🏅redibly exciting time for this football c💖lub.
“Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Bournemouth.”
