Bournemouth vs Chelsea predictions

Chelsea looked unorganised and sloppy at the back against Leeds on Wednesday night at Elland Road.

The Cherries also lost midweek on Tuesday night, against Everton, and they are back at home again looking for their first win since October.

Goals incoming

The Cherries looked to be in a strong position after just a few games but since November, they’ve yet to win.

Losing against City, Aston Villa, Sunderland and Everton which has seen them go on a really tough run in November which has now trickled into December.

Their only point in this time came against relegation contenders at this stage West Ham when they drew 2-2 and that required bouncing back from 2-0 down.

They’re conceding far too much and up against Chelsea who can create plenty I think they will concede a couple too.

Bournemouth don’t often fail with getting a response either so there’s cause for betting on goals in this.

Who will get on target?

With goals likely in this the betting selections can be stronger with narrowing down the likely goalscorers, shots on target and shots overall as well.

Antoine Semenyo looked to be going on an incredible run at the start of the season but has since failed to be involved in a goal in his last six appearances in the league.

Whereas in the first seven matches he’d scored six and assisted three.

I can see him coming back into the fray though and he does often perform well against Chelsea too.

Joao Pedro and Pedro Neto have proven to be key to Chelsea’s plans this season and have started to look like the usual goalscorers for the Blues.

Cole Palmer coming back into the team against Leeds was a welcome sight for Blues fans.

However, he may not start again with boss Enzo Maresca detailing that it will be somewhat of a phased return for the English midfielder.

Pedro has scored four in 14 appearances for Chelsea now, in the league as well as assisting three.

Neto on the other hand, has scored five and assisted two – that’s one more goal 21 less games from last season.
