Bournemouth vs Chelsea preview & prediction

Match preview

The Premier League is back in action this weekend with a new slate of games, beginning with a crucial meeting between Bournemouth and Frank Lampard’s Chelsea team at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.

In the Premier League standings, Bournemouth is currently in 13th place and has had a decent year thus far. Last week, the home team destroyed Leeds United 4-1, so they will have to put in a lot of effort to repeat that performance this time around.

Chelsea, on the other hand, has had a difficult season and is now in 12th position in the league table. The Blues must recover this weekend after suffering a devastating 3-1 loss to Arsenal in their previous match.
