Bournemouth come into this match in mixed form, with more draws than wins recently. They’ve been struggling to pick up victories, though they have been hard to beat, with several draws in their last few games. Chelsea, on the other hand, have been in poor shape, losing most of their recent matches on the road. That makes this a difficult period for them.

When these two teams have met recently, the matches have often been close, with three straight draws before this game, including a couple of high-scoring stalemates. Both teams have shown they can score, but also concede, which suggests this could be another open and competitive encounter. Given Chelsea’s current run of losses, Bournemouth look more likely to avoid defeat, and a draw is the most probable outcome based on their recent history.
