Bournemouth vs Chelsea Betting Tips: Chelsea to absorb pressure and take a share of the spoils against Bournemouth
Chelsea find themselves with a seven-point lead over second-placed Tottenham in the Premier League, with only eight games remaining of the season. Bournemouth showed last time out that despite their league position, they are a match for anybody.
Bournemouth vs Chelsea Match Preview
The Cherries pushed all the way midweek against Liverpool, with a Josh King goal late on earning them a credible 2-2 draw at Anfield. Chelsea, meanwhile, battled to a narrow 2-1 win over Manchester City.
- - Bournemouth 3-2 West Ham
- - Bournemouth 2-0 Swansea
- - Southampton 0-0 Bournemouth
- - Liverpool 2-2 Bournemouth
Bournemouth have kept two clean sheets in their last four Premier League outings and managed to put down a resurgent Swansea side 2-0 last time out at home. Eddie Howe’s team like to have the ball, and should be allowed to retain it against Chelsea.
The visitors bounced back from a January away loss to Tottenham in some style, and have since gone five games unbeaten away from Stamford Bridge. Antonio Conte’s men picked up hard-earned points against Liverpool and Burnley, with neither place an easy one to go to.

Bournemouth vs Chelsea Prediction and Betting Advice
Victor Moses is still a doubt for the away side, but otherwise, both coaches haven’t got any new injury concerns ahead of this game. Benik Afobe will be looking to keep impressing ups front for Bournemouth in the absence of Callum Wilson.
Howe’s men will enjoy a lot of the ball and it could be a real test for Chelsea. As Conte’s men can afford to draw, it might be worth considering the Cherries coming out on top.
