Chelsea played well for most of the 2024/25 season. However, they have not won in the last four Premier League matches, and now their top-four status is in danger. After a few underwhelming games, Enzo Maresca's team won 5-0 at home in the FA Cup against Morecambe. The home side didn't play with the best possible starting lineup, but they were still too good for the League Two side.
Bournemouth are one of the most pleasant surprises this season. Surprisingly, they are seventh on the table, with only three points less than Chelsea. Andoni Iraola's team are in fantastic form with nine games in a row without defeat. In the previous match, Bournemouth won 5-1 at home in the cup against WBA. The home side finished the match with xG for 2.73, while the guests had only 0.46, so Bournemouth's victory was well-deserved. Iraola's team is in brilliant form, but a big test will come on Tuesday at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea vs Bournemouth pick: Under 3.5 goals
Chelsea scored only seven goals in the last five matches. On the other hand, Bournemouth allowed five goals in the previous eight games. We shouldn't expect more than three goals in the upcoming match between these two teams.
