Key factors

What will decide this match?

Home advantage first, then expected goals and the factor with the most influence on this match.

  1. Home advantage

    Edge: Even

    Home support is worth about a fifth of a goal to Bournemouth. That narrows the gap but does not cancel Chelsea's extra quality.

  2. Expected goals

    Edge: Even

    At 2.8 expected goals, the 2.5 line is close to 50/50 (52% for the over).

  3. Quality gap

    Edge: Chelsea

    Chelsea rate clearly higher and the draw is only 25%. If they score first, the match should go their way.

Team set-up

How will the two teams line up?

Confirmed line-ups are published about an hour before kick-off.

Home

AFC Bournemouth

Bournemouth are a practical mid-table side: solid without the ball at Vitality Stadium, but lacking the creativity to run a game.

Away

Chelsea

Chelsea have a squad deep enough to challenge for the title. They squeeze opponents on their trip to Vitality Stadium, so Bournemouth will need a disciplined low block to stay in the game.

Risk radar

What could change the prediction?

The news that would move our numbers before kick-off.

  • If Chelsea name a weakened XI

    Rotation or a missing key player would cut several points from their win chance. Line-ups are out an hour before kick-off.

  • If Bournemouth score first

    The favourite has to chase the game, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.

  • If a red card comes in the first hour

    Going down to ten men changes the expected-goals picture completely, whichever side it hits.
