Hopes have been raised for Andoni Iraola’s second season in charge of Bournemouth after the Spaniard guided the Cherries clear from the threat of relegation last term.
Kicking on from their finish last term will be their biggest challenge this term, but they certainly have the quality within their ranks to compete for a place in the top half of the Premier League table.
The Cherries come into this first match following the international break after going three without defeat this term. Their first win of the new season was achieved in dramatic fashion against Everton at Goodison Park, coming back from a two-goal deficit for the second time in top-flight history to land a 3-2 success on Merseyside.
| Recent Form (all competitions, most recent first) | W-L-D-D-W |
| Key Players to Watch | Evanilson, Justin Kluivert |
| Team Strengths | Quick players in the final third |
| Team Weaknesses | Can often be vulnerable from set pieces |
| Injuries and Suspensions | Philip Billing (Doubt) Tyler Adams (Back) Enes Unal (Broken Toe) |
It has been a mixed start to life at Stamford Bridge for Enzo Maresca, as the Blues have won just once in three league matches at the start of the season.
Meanwhile, they have already suffered two defeats in five competitive matches, and they come into this first match following the international break after going two without a win since their demolition of Wolves at Molineux.
Momentum will be the biggest hindrance to siding with the Blues when making a Bournemouth vs Chelsea prediction this weekend. Chelsea have stuttered for form throughout the Todd Boehly era, as they have often dropped points after looking to have turned a corner.
Further evidence of that was on display before the international break, as the Londoners were held to a home draw by Crystal Palace.
| Recent Form (all competitions, most recent first) | D-L-W-W-L |
| Key Players to Watch | Cole Palmer, Joao Felix |
| Team Strengths | Proven quality in the forward areas |
| Team Weaknesses | Defensively weak and inconsistent |
| Injuries and Suspensions | Malo Gusto (Hamstring) Romeo Lavia (Hamstring) Reece James (Hamstring) |
The head-to-head record is essential reading before making a Bournemouth vs Chelsea prediction. The Blues are unbeaten in their last five league matches against the Cherries, but they have won on just one from their last four visits to the Vitality Stadium.
Bournemouth’s last win against Chelsea was achieved at Stamford Bridge in December 2019.
Eyebrows were raised when Chelsea announced that João Félix would be returning to the club after a disappointing loan spell in 2022-23. However, the Portuguese star has already caught the eye in the Blues front line, netting once in his two appearances.
His creative flair could bring out the best in the players around him, meaning he could be the key to unlocking further potential from Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke.
Chelsea have turned their attention to being a possession-based team since the arrival of Maresca, and we expect the Blues to dominate the ball this weekend after Bournemouth gave up the possession against elite opposition when coming up against Newcastle earlier in the season.
However, Chelsea must be wary of the speed in which Bournemouth are able to hit on the counter-attack, as this could be where the home side gets their most joy on Saturday evening.
Draws between these sides at the Vitality Stadium have been a common outcome in recent history, with two of the last three ending in ties. A similar pattern could be expected when making a Bournemouth vs Chelsea prediction this weekend, especially considering the strength in which the Cherries have started the new campaign.
Bournemouth’s best chances on Saturday will come on the counter-attack, which could mean that Antoine Semenyo could be a standout goalscorer bet. The right-winger has been in excellent scoring form already this term after netting twice in three Premier League appearances.
