Bournemouth vs Chelsea Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 28/01/2019, 14:36  by Steve Ashfield in Premier League Prediction

Bourmemouth are 12th in the English Premier League and 11 points clear of the relegation zone. That's despite the fact they have lost nine league games in the past three months. A form guide for the last five league games has them 19th out of 20 and it's 16th for the past ten.  Bournemouth won their last league game beating West Ham at home but that ended a run of five games without a win. They just seem to win the occasional game which thanks to their good start (against teams outside the top six) will just about keep them safe. They continue to have defensive problems with at least two goals conceded in five of their last six games.

Chelsea have had a good week reaching the final of the Carabao Cup and the fifth round of the FA Cup. They also managed to get their hands on Gonzalo Higuain and that shoud give them more firepower in ther remaining months of the season. They are fourth in the Premier League, three points ahead of Arsenal and only four behind struggling Tottenham. Chelsea had won three straight league games before losing to the Gunners. They still have their off-days but up against Bournemouth's inconsistency and fragile defence, they can get the three points here.
