Chelsea take on the visitors Bournemouth in the round 17 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, December 27th at Stamford Bridge (London).
Chelsea have changed noticeably over the last calendar year. More precisely, just the composition in terms of players has not undergone any very significant changes. But the forced sale of the club by Roman Abramovich resulted in an almost complete renewal of management. In theory, the Americans wanted to leave Tuchel, but Thomas quickly lost contact with the new “employers”. So when there were misfires at the start of the new season, they broke up with the German. A rather unexpected bet on Potter, who had no experience of working with the giants, made it possible, as it were, to rectify the situation already in October. While in the Champions League it was possible to reach the playoffs, within the framework of the Premier League, the club, weakened by a wave of injuries, lost three times in a row (and has not been able to win for 5 rounds already). As a result, the “blues” met the winter only on 8th position, and they were also eliminated from the League Cup.

Bournemouth, under Eddie Howe, stayed in the Premier League for a long time, and was remembered for an unusual bet on spectacular football. But still, it all ended with relegation to the Championship. And only Parker, having led the project before the start of last season, was able to return it back - and directly. Moreover, he won the first match in the Premier League with his wards. But then there were defeats, and it turned out to be fatal for Scott. Experts explained this by the most difficult calendar, but still the bosses could not stand the 0-9 with Liverpool. Immediately after this, the manager was removed, but O’Neal remains in office, even got rid of the prefix “acting.” With him, it turned out to immediately give out an unbeaten streak, which ended in mid-October. Then, it seemed, the momentum was over – the “cherries” lost four times in a row. But still, before the pause, they managed to beat Everton both in the League Cup and in the Premier League - after that Gary became a full-fledged mentor
Chelsea have not won three head-to-heads in a row. First there were 2 wins for Bournemouth, then a draw. However, there have been no official matches since 2020. Chelsea are clearly not happy with their current place, and it is imperative to improve immediately, back in December, because with each round, with each misfire, the chances of a place in the top 4, a pass to the Champions League, are falling. Now play at home, with a rather weak opponent. We recommend betting that the “Blues” will be able to win with a handicap of “-1.5 goals”.
Prediction for the match: Chelsea to win with -1.5 handicap.
