Premier League: Bournemouth vs Chelsea Live Stream and Preview
Preview
After mixed starts under new management, Bournemouth and Chelsea are set to face off in a Sunday Premier League clash at the Vitality Stadium. Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth comes into the match following a 2-2 draw with Brentford, while Chelsea seeks to recover from a 1-0 home loss to Nottingham Forest. The Premier League game kicks off at 1pm GMT on Sunday.
Bournemouth currently sit 16th in the Premier League table, yet to secure a league victory this season. They’ll aim to change that with a morale-boosting win against an inconsistent Chelsea side. Despite their league struggles, the Cherries have shown resilience lately, going unbeaten in their last two matches across all competitions.
Bournemouth managed a commendable 2-2 draw against Brentford. While their style of play under manager Andoni Iraola has earned praise, Bournemouth’s results haven’t reflected it, with just two points from their opening four Premier League games, but with strong showings against formidable opponents like Tottenham and Liverpool.
Chelsea’s fans are looking for a strong response from their team following the surprising loss to Nottingham Forest. They undoubtedly possess the superior squad and are expected to secure victory against Bournemouth. However, Chelsea’s Premier League campaign has had a lackluster start, with only one win from four matches, leaving them in 12th place.
The pressure is mounting on manager Mauricio Pochettino to reinvigorate his team’s performance. Chelsea’s recent record in the Premier League has been disappointing, with just two wins in 16 matches, but they have had success against Bournemouth, winning their last three encounters.
Head-to-Head
In their recent Premier League encounters, Bournemouth and Chelsea have been evenly matched, each team securing two wins, with one match ending in a draw. Chelsea, however, have emerged victorious in their last two meetings.
Prediction
Although the Vitality Stadium hasn’t always been kind to Chelsea, a repeat of their 2019 thrashing by Bournemouth seems highly unlikely given the Cherries’ defensive struggles. While both teams have been out of form, Chelsea’s quality and depth should secure them a win, even if it’s not a picturesque victory. Expect a close contest, but Chelsea should prevail with a narrow win.
