Chelsea will look to bounce back to winning ways when they play as visitors against Bournemouth on Sunday in the Premier League.
The Blues succumbed to a disappointing tight 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest before the international break despite them creating the best chances of the game.
Mauricio Pochettino will only think about bouncing back to winning ways against the Cherries but he's aware that Bournemouth are also in the haste to turn their poor form around.
Prediction on Bournemouth vs Chelsea
For the Bournemouth vs Chelsea prediction, we say Chelsea will win and this is why. Bournemouth have lost three of their opening four matches and are obviously in dire form unlike Chelsea, who have won one in their opening four Premier League matches. Although they have lost two matches, the performances they put in those matches, if they replicate it against Bournemouth and didn't waste their chances, Chelsea would easily beat the Cherries.
Prediction: Bournemouth 0-2 Chelsea
We predict both teams not to score on Bournemouth vs Chelsea and this is why. Bournemouth's struggle in the Premier League this season has been their inability to score goals and because Chelsea are relatively solid at the back, there's a decent chance this game would lack goals.
Betting Tips: Both teams NOT to score
Match Preview on Bournemouth vs Chelsea
Bournemouth haven't won a game in their opening four Premier League matches this season so far. They lost three matches and drew one but they found their scoring boots when they beat Swansea Ctiy 3-2 in the Carabao Cup before the international break. The Cherries will plan to rediscover their top form in the final third but aiming for that against Chelsea looks like a stretch.
Chelsea embarrassingly lost 1-0 at home to Nottingham Forest before the international break. The defeat came after they had beat Wimbledon 2-1 at home in the Carabao Cup. Although the Blues have endured a rollercoaster start to the season, they are likely to get their second Prem win this Sunday at the Vitality Stadium.
Predicted Starting Lineups
Bournemouth: Neto, Kerkez, Senesi, Zabarnyi, Aarons, Cook, Christie, Kluivert, Billing, Semenyo, Solanke
Chelsea: Sanchez, Disasi, Silva, Colwill, Gusto, Chilwell, Gallagher, Caicedo, Fernandez, Sterling, Jackson
