Before losing to Fulham in its last home game of 2024, Chelsea built a seven-game non-losing streak at Stamford Bridge. Bournemouth, a team that only lost one of its previous six road games, comes next, and there’s only a three-point gap between the two. In other words, you can expect a fast-paced, close battle.
Let’s dig into the Chelsea vs Bournemouth odds while making the best EPL picks.

Top 2 Picks for Chelsea vs Bournemouth: ML and Game Prop
1. Chelsea vs Bournemouth ML: Chelsea (-183)
Chelsea began 2025 with a 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace. On the other hand, the Blues won their first home game 5-0. Yes, it was against Morecambe, a team from League Two, but there’s more than meets the eye.
First, it was the seventh time Chelsea scored 2+ goals at home in its last 10 games. Second, usual starters like Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez, and Nicolas Jackson didn’t play, and they still scored five goals. Finally, Abdul-Nasir Adarabioyo and Joao Felix regained confidence by scoring a brace each.
By the way, Palmer and Jackson have combined for 22 goals. And again, they’ll be well-rested. Also, keep in mind that I haven’t mentioned Noni Madueke and Christopher Nkunku. That’s right, Chelsea’s attacking unit is loaded!
On the other hand, Bournemouth kept a clean sheet in only one of its previous 10 games on the road. The Cherries conceded 2+ goals in three of the last five. All three games were against teams outside of the top eight.
Finally, the Cherries failed to beat the other two top-four teams they had already faced on the road. First, they drew 1-1 against Nottingham Forest, and later, they lost 3-0 to Liverpool.
My expert soccer pick today is Chelsea winning straight up. I like 2-1 for a score prediction.
Bet This Pick: Chelsea Wins (-183)
2. Game Prop: Draw-Chelsea for Halftime-Fulltime (+400)
Before the start of the season, nobody had Bournemouth among the dark horses to keep an eye on. Nowadays, the Cherries are only three points behind fourth place, and they have already beaten powerhouses like Manchester City and Arsenal.
Justin Kluivert is the team’s top scorer with six goals, while Evanilson and Antoine Semenyo follow him with five goals each. Not all teams can say they’ve three strikers that have scored 5+ goals.
No wonder the Cherries are well-known for being an absolute menace on the counterattack. Just look at this goal scored by Dango Ouattara in the FA Cup. By the way, Ouattara scored four goals in Bournemouth’s last seven games in all competitions.

That’s why my EPL betting prediction is that the Cherries will put up a good fight, especially in the first half, but Chelsea will win due to a deeper roster.
Also, I don’t trust Kepa Arrizabalaga, Bournemouth’s starting goalkeeper. He’s not consistent. He ended up playing for Bournemouth after failing to become a well-recognized keeper at Chelsea and Real Madrid.
Bet This Prop Pick: Draw-Chelsea for Halftime-Fulltime (+400)
Question of the Day
What’s the average number of goals in the first half in meetings between Chelsea and Bournemouth?
One goal.
