Deciding factors

Which factors will settle this match?

Home advantage, expected goals and the factor carrying the most weight here.

  1. Home advantage

    Home support is worth about a fifth of a goal to Bournemouth. It closes the gap but does not erase Arsenal's extra quality.

    Edge: Even

  2. Expected goals

    3.0 expected goals is above the league norm, and over 2.5 lands 56% of the time in our simulations.

    Edge: Goals

  3. Quality gap

    Arsenal rate clearly stronger and the draw is only 24%. If they score first, the game should follow.

    Edge: Arsenal

Team shape

How will the two teams set up?

Official line-ups are announced roughly an hour before kick-off.

At home

AFC Bournemouth

Bournemouth are a pragmatic mid-table team: sturdy out of possession at Vitality Stadium, but short of the creativity to dictate a game.

Away

Arsenal

Arsenal are set up to control the ball. They should own most of the possession on the road at Vitality Stadium and keep Bournemouth penned in for long stretches.

What could change

What would change the King Exchange prediction?

Team news and match events that would move our numbers.

  1. If Arsenal field a weakened XI

    Rotation or a missing key player would take several points off their win chance. Line-ups drop an hour before kick-off.

  2. If Bournemouth score first

    The favourite must chase, and both the draw and the upset become far more likely.

  3. If a red card arrives in the first hour

    Playing with ten men rewrites the expected-goals picture, whichever team it hits.

The long read
