Chelsea Vs Bournemouth Prediction & Match Preview

Cole Palmer and Christopher Nkunku scored to help Chelsea to victory by 2-1 against Brighton in a match played on Wednesday. This was their fourth league win since Chelsea.

Blues and their return to performance has helped keep their European hopes in the air. The Blues are in sixth place heading towards the end of the season.

A victory here over Bournemouth could guarantee them an upper-half spot if the other results go in their favour.

The West London club were beaten by the hosts back in September. However, they’ve found their rhythm in the midst of Stamford Bridge and are unbeaten in the nine last games in the home stadium this year.

They’ve also scored three goals or more during their most recent eight EPL games and more than 2.5 goals were scored in seven matches.

Mauricio Pochettino should be content to keep his current positive momentum and I believe that his team will control possession during this game. They will be able discover weaknesses inside the Cherries defense, who have lost goals on 13 of their 15 road trip this season.

Bournemouth are a little off the mark in recent times, but they merit a great deal of praise for their work into underneath Andoni Iraola. They’re on the same level of scores with Brighton and are in a good position of finishing in 5th. They’ll be missing Ryan Fredericks and Luis Sinisterra with the exception of Milos Kerkez and Tyler Adams are both in the mix.

They’ll need to make their most defensive efforts in order to stop the Blues as I’m sure they’ll be able to do that. I’m going to go with one score in every period for Chelsea as well as Bournemouth.

The Blues are a bit more disciplined in recent weeks and their front two consisting of Eden Hazard and Willian are the perfect match. They are both delivering plenty of shots and crosses on the target. Expect some of them to go in the right direction during this match.

The Bournemouth defense can be fragile at the back however, they’ve proven that they are able to hold themselves up against the top teams of the Premier League. They’ll have the ability to take on a few periods of pressure but the Blues offensive will be difficult to take on.
