AFC Bournemouth Betting Preview

AFC Bournemouth currently sits in 8th place in the standings having picked up five points. AFC Bournemouth in the last game faced off against Everton and they were able to secure the 3-2 victory. AFC Bournemouth was actually down 2-0, but after the 87th minute they scored three goals and that was enough for the victory. AFC Bournemouth had 54 percent of the possesion and seven shots on target. Kepa Arrizabalaga can’t face his parent club so he’s not going to be allowed to play in this game. Dango Ouattara is dealing with an ankle injury and he’s also being ruled out for this game. 

Chelsea Betting Preview

Chelsea currently sits in 11th place in the standings having picked up four points. Chelsea in the last game faced off against Crystal Palace and they played to a 1-1 draw. Nicolas Jackson scored in the 25th minute toke the lead. In the 53rd minute though the defense gave up a goal and they ended up only picking up the point. Chelsea had 63 percent of the possession and seven shots on target. Jadon Sancho is expected to make his first appearance with his new team and they are going to need him to have a huge game here. Cole Palmer is dealing with a thigh injury but it looks like he could play in this game. 

AFC Bournemouth vs Chelsea Prediction

There are better games on the board to bet, and this is my least favorite game by far. I don’t trust the AFC Bournemouth defense, though, and that is going to be the difference here. Chelsea is going to get out to fast start and that will be the difference here as Chelsea is going to get the job done. Back Chelsea on the money line to cash here.
