Since all but assuring Premier League survival, Bournemouth’s performance levels have dropped as they’ve lost three of their last four – only beating already-relegated Aston Villa.
Chelsea – beaten by the Cherries under Jose Mourinho earlier this season – have fallen two back-to-back league losses without scoring with the Blues languishing in mid-table.
The capital club have managed W6-D1-L0 when taking on the bottom-four this season but a W5-D10-L11 return against the rest of the Premier League is unappealing enough to leave the Match Odds market and look elsewhere.
Each of Bournemouth’s last six fixtures have featured Over 2.5 Goals winners whilst six of their past 13 on the south coast have delivered at least four goals. With six of Chelsea’s last eight breaking the Over 2.5 Goals barrier and the Blues keeping a solitary clean sheet in nine, goals should be the order of the day.
