Chelsea vs Bournemouth: Top Free Betting Tips

Two games will be played on Tuesday instead of Boxing Day and Chelsea vs Bournemouth is one of them. Here are our predictions.

Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

Chelsea have to step up their game in this second half of the season and there is no better first team to face than Bournemouth. The visitors have had a difficult season to date and have one of the weakest defenses in the league. They have conceded 32 goals in 15 games to date and Chelsea should be able to score at least twice in this match too.

Team To Score in 1st Half: Chelsea

We do not know what to expect from this game because Chelsea were in a terrible form before the break with five games in a row without a win. The three most recent ones were defeats. But against Bournemouth, we expect an improved performance and since Chelsea are a huge favorite, we cannot bet on the regular FT market. We believe that Chelsea will score in the first half, which usually happens in Bournemouth's outings.

Correct Score Prediction: 2:1 to Chelsea

We are going safe with this game because we aren't too sure about Chelsea's form. A lot of their players performed in the World Cup and should be in shape but it is yet to be seen whether the team can become a Top 4 contender. We expect them to win but it will be a difficult and close match – therefore, 2:1.

Chelsea vs Bournemouth: Form, Recent Games, and News

Chelsea Preview

Chelsea had a bad start and then made a key signing – Graham Potter as manager. For some time, it seemed like the team is improving – they had nine consecutive games without a defeat but then, it all fell apart. Right before the World Cup, Chelsea ended with four defeats in five games and now, even Top 4 will be a huge challenge this season.

Bournemouth Preview

Bournemouth had some good moments at the start of the season and we think that the team has potential to climb much higher in the table this season. As long as they improve that defense. Before the World Cup, they had four defeats in five games and are currently close to the relegation zone. They have the weakest defense in the entire league.
