Best Two Picks for Bournemouth vs Chelsea

1. Bournemouth Will Score

Checking the English Premier League outrights at BetUS Sportsbook, Bournemouth is +1400 to be relegated at the end of the season and +3300 to finish in the top four. In other words, nobody is expecting great things from the Cherries. Based on those numbers, one would think the Cherries started the season on the wrong foot, but to me, they’ve exceeded expectations.

They have two 1-1 draws against Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United and most recently delivered an astonishing 3-2 victory over Everton, scoring all three goals in the last 10 minutes of the game.

Trust me, Bournemouth will put up a good fight, enough to increase its streak of scoring at home up to nine straight games. In fact, I expect the Cherries to score more than 1½ goals, as they did in five of their last eight matches at Vitality Stadium.

Bet This Pick: Bournemouth Team Total Over 1½ (+125)

2. Chelsea Better on the Road, But Bet the Draw

I remember the days when winning at Stamford Bridge was nearly impossible. Nowadays, Chelsea’s stadium doesn’t scare anyone. The Blues opened the season losing 2-0 at home to Manchester City. Two weeks later, they welcomed Crystal Palace and only managed to win a point thanks to a 1-1 draw.

On the other hand, they visited Wolverhampton in Week 2 and showed no mercy to the Wolves, winning 6-2.

That’s what shocks me about Chelsea; the Blues have a great team but usually suffer much more than expected. Last season, everyone blamed coach Mauricio Pochettino but he’s gone. Now, Enzo Maresca is having the same problems, if not more.

The good news is that even with the chemistry and lack of leadership issues, the Blues are the second top-scoring team in the league with seven goals in three games. Only Manchester City, of course, has scored more with nine.

That means you can also expect a good fight from the visitors, who are slightly favored in our at +100, but not so fast. Matches after an international break are always tricky; this won’t be the exception. For your premier league predictions, go with the draw, offering a much better price.

Bet This Pick: Bournemouth vs Chelsea Draw (+295)
