Chelsea vs Bournemouth Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 10th October 2026

Mid-placed Chelsea face relegation-threatened Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge in round 6 of the Premier League in a match that kick-offs this coming Saturday. The visitors have a lot more at stake, but are lacking in quality.

The two teams enter the match at Stamford Bridge with four points separating them in the Premier League standings.

There's been nothing to separate Chelsea from Bournemouth in their last three matches, which all ended without a winner. This is hardly coincidental, and the question is whether either will be able to break the deadlock at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea go into their next Premier League match, scoring a humble average of 1.5 per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane 15 times, while conceding 22. That amounts to an average of 2.2 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring zero times.

Bournemouth managed a bearable 14 goals from their past ten games, creating an average of 1.4 goals per game. They conceded 12 goals in total, and while claiming two clean sheets, they conceded 1.2 goals an average per game.

The latest encounter between these two teams was a belter of a 2-2 match. Are we in for a similar goal-fest this coming Saturday?

Chelsea vs Bournemouth Prediction

Chelsea Form

They came away from their last three matches with a mix of results, as Chelsea beat Leeds 6-3, followed by a 2-2 draw against Hull. Most recently, they were left licking their wounds in a 3-0 defeat against Brentford. Chelsea managed to win two of their past six home matches in the Premier League. In the remaining four, they drew one and lost three, as they scored nine and conceded 13 goals.

Chelsea have already squandered enough points to put themselves under pressure, if they are to challenge for the title seriously in the Premier League this season.

Bournemouth Form

Bournemouth recorded a diverse set of results in their last three matches. They began with a 2-2 draw with Brentford. A 1-2 win against Real Sociedad followed, before a 0-1 defeat against Liverpool in their most recent match. Bournemouth won half their previous six away matches in the Premier League, as well as seeing two draws and suffering one defeat. They scored nine goals whilst conceding seven.

Bournemouth entered the season hunting for a title, however they find themselves far off track at this stage.

Curiously enough, Chelsea and Bournemouth played out a draw in their three latest matches against each other. Clearly, the draw is the value bet, when they face each other again.

Chelsea only drew once so far this season after five games played, in stead recording two wins and two defeats in the Premier League. Bournemouth are yet to win this season, having played five games, in stead showing off three draws and two defeats.
