Bournemouth vs Chelsea Predictions

 

Bournemouth's season can only go down as a success. They sit in 13th place on 41 points, 11 ahead of the relegation zone, and for a side who were favourites to return to the Championship at the start of the season they've done incredibly well. They're a great side to watch at times, and their Premier League status is pretty much assured. They've lost their last two at home though, a heavy defeat at Dean Court at the hands of Manchester City was followed by a 2-1 loss to Liverpool, though sandwiched inbetween was a victory at relegated Aston Villa. They'll fancy their chances against a Chelsea side who look like they've given up on this season.

 

Eddie Howe will be without Benik Afobe for this one who is still out with a hamstring injury. He's also likely to be missing Harry Arter and Adam Smith but Callum Wilson could start this one.

 

Chelsea seemed to have found some consistency after the appointment of Guus Hiddink, but of late their form has dropped. They were humiliated at home to Manchester City last time out, going down 3-0 as Chelsea 'flop' Kevin De Bruyne ran the show, and that was the second consecutive defeat after losing away at Swansea City the week before. They've only won one of their last five, and that came at the expense of whipping boys Aston Villa. It looks like Chelsea's season is going to peter out as they focus on next term.

 

Hiddink is without goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois after his red card in the City defeat so Asmir Begovic will start. John Terry, Kurt Zouma and Loic Remy are all missing and Eden Hazard is extremely doubtful to play any part in this.

 

Neither side can boast decent defensive records of late. The Cherries have conceded 10 goals in their last four games, and Chelsea's defence hasn't fared much better, conceding six in their last four. With both defences frail, I can see a few goals in this one. My first Bournemouth vs Chelsea prediction is for there to be over 3.5 goals in this one.

OVER 3.5 GOALS – 11/5 with Betfred.

It's tough to see a winner in this one. Bournemouth will put up a good fight in front of their home support and I can see them scoring a couple, but to keep Diego Costa and Pedro quiet is a tough ask. A draw on the cards for me, my second Bournemouth v Chelsea betting tip is for the two sides to share the points.

DRAW – 85/40 with Bet Victor.

For my final Bourenemouth vs Chelsea betting tip this weekend, I'm going for a correct score. Despite these two not having much to play for now, I think this will be a decent game with a few goals in it. My final Bournemouth v Chelsea prediction is for the game to finish 2-2, William Hill are offering the best odds of 14/1.

2-2 DRAW – 14/1 with William Hill.
