Chelsea vs Bournemouth Prediction 31 January 2018

Tournament: 
Location: 
Match date: 

On January 31 2018 at 19:45 at the Stamford Bridge Stadium in London in the forthcoming match of the 25th game week of the English Premier League the local Chelsea will play against Bournemouth.

Chelsea are the current champions of the English Premier League and they have a very strong squad now. They are on the third position in the standings now three points below Manchester United and three points above Liverpool. So, they can take the second position and they can lose their third position and go down in case they lose. As you see, they are actually in the race for the medals except, perhaps, the gold ones. They really need to gain points in the matches against the teams like Bournemouth if they want to stay in that race till the end.

As for Bournemouth, they are on the 12th place in the standings. They have already been participating in the national elite division for three seasons and they have enough experience now. They no longer have any players missing from the squad. We must also admit that despite the fact that they are on the 12th place, they are still 5 points above the last place and three points below the 9th place. As you see, the middle-peasants, who will manage to gain points in the matches against the leaders, will take higher positions.

We must also remind you that Chelsea are no longer as reliable in defense as they used to be. The reasons we have already mentioned make us think that the hosts will win this time and there will also be comparatively a lot of goals scored.
