Although the Champions League mid-week win over Olympiacos was Mourinho\u2019s first official home game in the new stadium, Saturday\u2019s home clash with Bournemouth will be Mourinho\u2019s first game in charge in the Premier League since taking over the Lilywhites two weeks ago.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After back\nto back wins in his first games in charge (but a worrying number of goals\nconceded), what can we expect from the visit of the Cherries as we delve over\npast clashes between the two and the pairs recent results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head to\nhead<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Remarkably,\nthis will only be the tenth meeting between the two in all competitions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the\nprevious nine clashes, Tottenham have won six of them with a single draw and\ntwo wins for the Cherries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it\nis Bournemouth who won the last time the pair met back in May in the Premier\nLeague when a 90th<\/sup> minute Nathan Ak\u00e9 strike sunk the Lilywhites to\nclose out the season with a loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said,\nthere is positive news for Spurs and one very good reason why a Tottenham\nvictory is a likely scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four times\nBournemouth have travelled to North London to take on Spurs and four times the\nCherries have had to head home with nothing to show for their efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even more\nthan that, Eddie Howes men have not even scored a goal when playing Spurs on\nthe road with Tottenham boasting a 13-0 aggregate scoreline in those four\ngames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent\nResults<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As\nmentioned above, Tottenham come into the game with back to back wins on their\nCV\u2019s and a total of seven goals scored but not so great is the four goals\nconceded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By\ncontrast, Bournemouth come into the game on the back of two defeats in the\nleague to Newcastle and Wolves respectively, although they dd score in both. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prediction\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is the\nperfect game for Jose to register his first clean sheet of the season. Traditionally,\nBournemouth are notorious for expansive football and getting the ball in the\nback of the net but lately they have struggled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nCherries have only managed three goals in their last five Premier League games\nand that will be cause for concern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mourinho is\ndesperate for a shutout and he should get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tottenham\nto win to nil is the way to go in this one. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
