Bournemouth v Chelsea: Pre-Match Analysis
After a poor start to 2017 Bournemouth have put together a string of impressive results in Callum Wilson’s absence that saw Eddie Howe pick up the manager of the month. The Cherries were in serious danger of being dragged into a relegation battle but are now unbeaten in 5 matches. Josh King has been in a rich vein of form in recent weeks, scoring 9 goals in his last 8 league games. Both teams have scored in 4 of Bournemouth’s last 6 matches Howe’s men have kept just 1 clean sheet in their last 7 home games.
League leaders Chelsea bounced back from last weekend’s loss to Crystal Palace with a 2-1 victory over Manchester City. Despite Chelsea’s defensive solidity, their last 9 have seen both sides score with their last 5 also seeing Over 2.5 goals. Victor Moses may return after missing Chelsea’s last 2 games through injury. Despite Diego Costa not scoring in his last 4, Chelsea have scored 2 or more goals in 5 of their last 6 league games, with the likes of Eden Hazard, Pedro and Cesc Fabregas chipping in with goals.
4 of Bournemouth’s last 5 along with 5 of Chelsea’s last 6 have seen Over 1.5 First Half goals. Over 1.5 First Half goals is available at a generous 7/4 and looks tremendous value. Bournemouth tend to be quite open while Conte has ensured Chelsea have started fast all season. Both teams to score at below Evens seems a tad short and there is little value in this as well as any match result.
