AFC Bournemouth Betting Preview
AFC Bournemouth comes into this game sitting in 13th place having picked up 39 points. AFC Bournemouth has been a bit inconsistent this year, but they have won two games in a row. Last Sunday they faced off against Leeds United and they were able to secure a 4-1 victory. Jefferson Lerma was the star of the show scoring in the 20th and 24th minute. AFC Bournemouth had 42 percent of the possession and seven shots on target. Marcus Tavernier, Ryan Fredericks, and Junior Stanislas are all dealing with injuries and have already been ruled out for this game. Chris Mepham, Kieffer Moore, and Hamed Traore are all also doubtful, but one could move into the starting lineup.
Chelsea Betting Preview
On the other side of this matchup is Chelsea who sits in 12th place in the standings having picked up 39 points. Chelsea has been nothing but a disappointment this season and they have lost six games in a row across all contests. On Tuesday against Arsenal, Chelsea was defeated 3-1. Reece James, Mason Mount, and Armando Broja are all dealing with injuries and are going to miss the rest of the season. Cesar Azpilicueta and Ben Chilwell are both expected to be fullbacks in this game. In this game, Chelsea is going to need the defense to step up and put the pressure on AFC Bournemouth.
Shane’s Free Pick
This is a Chelsea team that has zero confidence right now, and this game isn’t going to help with that. Chelsea’s defense has been an issue, and they are going to really struggle to defend again here. Look for AFC Bournemouth to score a few goals and they are going to get the job done. Back AFC Bournemouth on the money line.
