Chelsea - AFC Bournemouth betting tips and odds

This is a fairly one-sided matchup in the hosts’ favour. While there may be a tiny chance of a draw or even an upset, we wouldn’t count on it. Chelsea winning is by far the most likely outcome.

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact AFC Bournemouth are given 10.00 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise.

The Blues’s previous Premier League clash came down to a single goal making the difference. HOME held well for the first 45 minutes but did not have enough gas in their tank to push through the entire match. In the end, a narrow Newcastle United home defeat is what they will be looking to bounce back from this Tuesday.

AFC Bournemouth’s previous outing was quite exciting. They snagged a 3:0 victory In a home game against Everton, who were considered somewhat stronger going in. The fact that they were in the lead already during half-time makes the triumph even more surprising.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and The Blues have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

With 7 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, The Cherries’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

The hosts will be trying to move further up the standings, that much is clear. They’re 5 points behind a Europa League qualifying spot, so this matchup is a great opportunity to close that gap.

The 17 games Bournemouth played in their current Premier League campaign left a lot to be desired, but at least they’ve managed to keep themselves out of the relegation zone for now. That said, most betting predictions see a loss at Chelsea as the most likely outcome.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Ben Chilwell, Armando Broja, Carney Chukwuemeka, Wesley Fofana. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Lloyd Kelly, David Brooks, Neto. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

At the odds of 1.33 at bet365, we couldn’t recommend anything but a Home Win. The hosts are clear favourites in this matchup, and we’re very confident they’ll come out on top.
