Chelsea VS AFC Bournemouth

Chelsea host Bournemouth in the English Premier League on 30 December 2025, Tuesday. Chelsea’s recent results show a team generally dictating games but not always closing them cleanly. Victories over Everton and Cardiff highlighted their attacking structure, with three goals scored away from home against lower resistance and a controlled 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge. However, defensive lapses have crept in, evident in the 2-2 draw at Newcastle and the recent 1-2 home loss to Aston Villa. The Blues have scored in four of their last five matches across competitions, often establishing early pressure before allowing space later on. Nineteen goals conceded across eighteen league games points to a defence that holds shape for long spells but struggles when transitions speed up. At home, Chelsea still show authority in possession, and that usually translates into sustained chance creation across both halves.
