Chelsea vs Bournemouth Prediction: the Hosts to Impress Us

Prediction for the EPL Chelsea vs Bournemouth match, which will take place on December 27th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

With the arrival of Graham Potter, Chelsea could have improved, eventually dropping to the middle of the standings. A five-match unbeaten streak dropped the Blues to eighth. Now the gap from the top four is eight points. However, the London club has one game in hand. Before going on an international break, Chelsea failed three games in a row. First, they drew with Graham Potter's former club Brighton (1:4), then lost to their direct rivals Arsenal and Newcastle United with the same score of 0:1. During the break, the Blues played one friendly against Aston Villa, who lost by the same score of 0:1.

Before halftime, Bournemouth finished the streak of four straight defeats. The Cherries thrashed Everton 3:0. Thus, they broke away from the relegation zone and catapulted to 14th place in the standings. However, the gap from 18th place is only three points. After the break, Gary O'Neill's charges had time to play one official match. It was a failed cup meeting with Newcastle 0:1. The only goal was missed on penalties in the second half. So Bournemouth was relegated from the English League Cup.

• In five of the last six games with Chelsea, the total is under 2.5.
• Chelsea failed their last three games in the English league.
• Bournemouth scored at least two goals per game in the last three games.

It is still being determined what to expect from Chelsea after the month's break. Graham Potter was supposed to fine-tune the creation game since the midfield leaders did not participate in the World Cup. In addition, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang remained in the team's camp. But because of the month's downtime, the Londoners are likely to be better at attack than Man City. Therefore, we wait for cautious play and scoring from the hosts. So there are doubts about the outcome, but not about the success of the Blues.
