On December 27, Stamford Bridge (London) will host the match of the 17th round of the English Premier League, in which Chelsea will compete with Bournemouth. The battle will start at 18:30 CET.

Chelsea

The team has already managed to replace the coach at the beginning of the season. It seemed that Thomas Tuchel was on good terms with new investors, but everything was quickly spoilt and the parties were disappointed in each other. And when the start of the new championship turned out to be problematic, they parted ways with the German specialist. He was rather unexpectedly replaced by Graham Potter, who had no experience with the giants. Nevertheless, the team added significantly under his leadership in October. Still, the effect turned out to be too short – “the Aristocrats” ended the autumn with defeats in the games with Brighton (that was a devastating 1-4 score in the match with the club where the coach had worked before), Arsenal and Newcastle in the Premier League and the elimination from the Cup. Of course, a tremendous amount of injuries also affected the games – and “the infirmary” is full even now.

Bournemouth

The team spent a couple of previous years in the Championship. Scott Parker is the one who brought the team back to the Premier League; moreover, he did it in the very first year of his work in this project. But neither that fact nor a start in the Premier League with a win could save him from the dismissal after a line of losses to the giants, “crowned” with a 0-9 score at Anfield with Liverpool. It is reasonable to mention that as soon as the simpler opponents appeared, the newcomer began to score points – but with O'Neil in the role of interim head coach. However, it must be admitted that a noble specialist was able to bring “the Cherries” out of “the dark” in November, when, after 4 defeats in a row, he beat Everton in both the EFL Cup and the Premier League. As a result, he was given a proper coaching contract – that was one of the last decisions of Demin and his managers. Soon, the club was sold to the Americans. And still, the effect is not predictable, let's have a look at January. December began with a defeat, however, a minimal 0-1 score, that was away in the struggle with strong Newcastle.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Bournemouth has not lost in 3 official matches in a row (2 wins and a draw). But “the Cherries” have met with Chelsea only once since February 2020 and that was just a friendly match.

Predictions

Bookmakers believe that Chelsea will win without any problems. But, in fact, this is the first official match for the club in a month and a half. Let’s limit ourselves to a neutral offer – “total: under 3.0” (odd: 1.727).
