Bournemouth vs Chelsea Preview and Team News
Bournemouth Team News
Bournemouth come here on the back of four losses in five games. The club currently sit 14th in the table and are facing a downward spiral. Things have been so bad that they’ve found the back of the net on just five occasions in the same number of outings, averaging just one goal per match.
Their defensive lineup has offered shambolic results too, with no clean sheets at all during that stretch. The Cherries favor a man-marking approach, but opposition teams haven’t found it very difficult to breach.
Lewis Cook has been suspended for Bournemouth, while Matai Akinmboni, Ryan Christie, and Ben Gannon-Doak have been sidelined with injuries.
Bournemouth predicted lineup vs Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Petrovic; Truffert, Diakite, Milosavljevic, Jimenez; Scott, Adams; Semenyo, Kluivert, Adli; Kroupi.
Chelsea Team News
Sitting fourth in the table, Chelsea still have ambitions of challenging for the league title. Although they were recently beaten 1-3 by a struggling Leeds United, they still hold a record of four unbeaten results in five matches.
It was a disheartening defeat for the Blues, especially given that they controlled 71% of possession. But what hurt them most was their inability to turn that dominance into goalscoring chances. They took a mere two shots on target and ended the evening with a disappointing xG of 0.96. This didn’t reflect Chelsea’s attacking prowess at all.
On the bright side, the team tend to use a lot of short passes, which results in them getting into good positions – they posted a passing accuracy of 89% against Leeds.
Chelsea also have a suspended player: Moises Caicedo. Alongside the midfielder, Levi Colwill, Dario Essugo, and Romeo Lavia will be unavailable, albeit due to injuries.
Chelsea predicted lineup vs Bournemouth (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; Cucurella, Badiashile, Tosin, Chalobah; Santos, Fernandez; Gittens, Pedro, Estevao; Delap.
Bournemouth vs Chelsea Prediction
- Pick: Chelsea to win or draw
- Odds: -294 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Bournemouth 2-2 Chelsea
Chelsea are historically better at playing attacking soccer than their opponents, which makes them the favorites to either win or draw. They showed this quite well against their crosstown rivals Arsenal, whom they held to a 1-1 draw. Also, the Blues have beaten Bournemouth in 12 of the last 19 meetings recorded between the sides.
The venue has scarcely mattered for Enzo Maresca’s men, since they’ve defeated the Cherries six times in nine away matches. When these teams last met at Vitality Stadium, Chelsea claimed a 1-0 victory after keeping 67% possession. Their short-passing tactic worked well, with a high accuracy of 85%.
Bournemouth vs Chelsea Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -172 (20Bet)
Our prediction is that both teams will score. This has occurred in three of the last five head-to-head meetings. While Chelsea use the strategy of attacking from the flanks, Bournemouth like to sit deep and invite pressure before resorting to mounting a quick break.
When these clubs last met, in January earlier this year in London, the Cherries took seven shots, including one big chance. The Blues, meanwhile, fired off a whopping 26 shots, five of which were big chances.
Still, the match ended in a 2-2 draw. Bournemouth’s xG stood at 1.18, while Chelsea’s was 2.50, which shows that both sides know how to attack.
