Chelsea vs Bournemouth Prediction & Betting tips
Chelsea assured themselves of hibernation in the Champions League this week and will play again in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. Competition meeting with AFC Bournemouth is on the program at Stamford Bridge. The visitors lost their last five league matches and Chelsea is logically the top favorite for this game.
Chelsea:
Frank Lampard is in fourth place with Chelsea and with that, Lampard is performing above expectations in the Premier League. Of course Chelsea is a top club and the fans of Chelsea hope every year for a championship of their club. The reality, on the other hand, is that Chelsea underwent a true transformation last summer and that The Blues certainly did not get any worse from that. In fact, Chelsea is fourth in the Premier League and also hibernates in the Champions League.
On Wednesday-evening, The Blues won 2-1 from Lille, France, and Chelsea qualified for the Champions League knockout phase. With this team, Lampard and Chelsea are not going to win the Champions League, but The Blues are again winning millions of euros during the winter. Last weekend, Chelsea in the Premier League lost 3-1 to Everton and as a result, The Blues are only five points ahead of Manchester United and Wolverhampton, the numbers five and six in the rankings. In recent weeks, the Lampard team has been performing very mixedly in the Premier League, but that is also inherent to such a young selection.
AFC Bournemouth:
AFC Bournemouth is only just above the red line in the Premier League. The Cherries are fifteenth in the English league and have only one point more than the first team under that red line. The fact that Bournemouth currently has to fight against relegation has to do with the recent results of Eddie Howe and his team; Bournemouth did not score a single point in the last five matches. In total, Bournemouth has already lost eight league games and five of those defeats have come about in recent weeks.
Howe saw that his team lost in the past few weeks to Newcastle United (2-1), Wolverhampton (1-2), Tottenham Hotspur (3-2), Crystal Palace (1-0) and Liverpool (0-3). Only in the duels with Tottenham (Bournemouth was first 3-0 behind) and Liverpool, The Cherries were eliminated in recent weeks. In the duels with Newcastle, Wolverhampton and Crystal Palace, Bournemouth was clearly not happy. In addition, Howe had to do without a lot of basic player in recent weeks and also against Chelsea there are a lot of Bournemouth players (possibly) not among them.
