Chelsea vs Bournemouth Prediction & Match Preview

Chelsea vs Bournemouth Match Preview

Cole Palmer and Christopher Nkunku bagged goals to lift Chelsea to a 2-1 victory away at Brighton on Wednesday. It was the fourth league win on the trot for the Blues. They will have a nice opportunity to finish the campaign on a high with a victory over Bournemouth on Sunday afternoon at Stamford Bridge.

• Chelsea go into this on the back of four consecutive league wins.
• Bournemouth shipped five goals in the last two league losses.
• The Blues notched at least four goals in three of the previous four home outings in the league.

Four consecutive wins climbed Chelsea to 6th place in the league standings. The Blues need a point on the final day to mathematically secure this position. If Manchester City beat Manchester United next weekend in the FA Cup final, the 6th place will take to the UEFA Europa League.

As for Bournemouth, they dropped into the bottom half of the standings after consecutive league defeats. They failed to do much offensively in the last weekend’s 1-2 home defeat to Brentford. A win here might get them back into the top half but it is really hard to expect one considering Chelsea’s splendid form in recent weeks.

Latest Duels

• Chelsea also have tradition to back them up here. They won three and drew one of the last four encounters with the Cherries.
• We did not see goals in the return game played in September last year at Vitality Stadium.
• Three of the last five H2H clashes saw the Over 2.5 goals & Both Teams To Score pick coming in.

Chelsea vs Bournemouth Prediction

Chelsea are flying high in the part of the season. They are scoring at will these days. Mauricio Pochettino’s men notched 14 goals in the previous 5 Premier League affairs.

Despite early-season hiccups, Chelsea still own a strong home record with 10 wins, 4 draws, and 4 defeats in 18 league outings at Stamford Bridge. Bournemouth will come into this off the back of straight defeats to Arsenal and Brentford.

The Cherries also lost three of the previous four away outings in the league. We will back Chelsea to win by two or more goals difference at the 2.05 odds.

Alternatively, we will take the Over 3.5 goals bet at the 1.72 odds. Bournemouth shipped five goals in the last two league games. They have nothing to play for here and they will not park the bus at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are scoring for fun, especially in front of the home fans. The Blues notched four or more goals in three of the previous four home outings in the league.
