Bournemouth travel 142kms to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday 27/12/2022 at 6.30pm. Graham Potter’s Blues see a visit to Bournemouth as a real chance to get back on track on Boxing Day, having lost their last three games in all competitions before the World Cup.
The two teams are five points apart in the Premier League table, with Chelsea in eighth leading Bournemouth in fourteenth.
Predictions Chelsea vs AFC Bournemouth
Can Chelsea bounce back from their pre-World Cup slump with a win against the Cherries, who have the worst defensive record in the Premier League? The Blues aren’t having a memorable season, as they are currently on a three-game losing streak in Tuesday’s game.
The chances of a home win are simply too low given the troubles of the Blues, who should have enough talent to overcome Bournemouth, who have lost four of their last seven away games.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, are not considered a good traveler and we don’t really think they can beat the Blues at Stamford Bridge.
Our feeling is that Bournemouth will be able to score against this Chelsea side, but that won’t be enough to prevent a defeat.
Chelsea appear to be the most likely winners as the Cherries have just five points from seven games. Anyway, there shouldn’t be much in it!
