Bournemouth v Chelsea Preview

Bournemouth v Chelsea Preview

Bournemouth have avoided defeat against the likes of Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal and won’t be overawed by the champions elect.

Chelsea’s defeat against Crystal Palace wasn’t totally unexpected (we tipped Palace double chance) and although I expect them to win the league it’s not going to be totally plain sailing.


Antonio Conte must take huge credit for the way he’s transformed the team who struggled so badly last season but on my ratings, I still have them around fourth in the league. They’ve ridden hot conversion and save percentages for most of the season and although we must acknowledge the quality of personnel they are still running on the warm side of things.

Bournemouth should be safe after winning back to back home games and they are no pushovers on their patch. They beat Liverpool earlier in the season and held Tottenham and Arsenal to draws. They can do the same to Chelsea and are a good bet at 13/10 in the double chance market.
