Bournemouth remain unbeaten in the Premier League after a stunning 3-2 comeback win over Everton in Round 3. Despite falling two goals behind in the 87th minute, they produced an emotional comeback. The result means they host Chelsea looking to remain unbeaten in their opening four Premier League games for the first time in the club's history.
Coach Andoni Iraola's team is currently ranked 8th in the rankings. With this favorable start, Bournemouth's confidence is being strengthened. However, they have not won against Chelsea in the Premier League since December 2019.
For their part, after an impressive 6-2 win over Wolves, Chelsea disappointed with a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace. Despite winning all three of their last away games, The Blues have failed to keep a clean sheet in 17 away games in the Premier League, conceding a total of 36 goals.
Despite the huge investment in the squad, Enzo Maresca’s side are currently 11th in the table. Chelsea fans still had to leave with a familiar feeling of disappointment, as their defence was vulnerable at crucial moments. Perhaps more time is needed for the London team to experiment and adjust their tactics.
Therefore, Opta's supercomputer rates Chelsea as having a 45.2% chance of winning their trip to Vitality Stadium.
With home advantage, Bournemouth can also be confident of their chances of getting three points, with a 30.0% probability. A draw between the two teams has a 24.8% probability.
Score prediction: Bournemouth 1-2 Chelsea
