Chelsea vs Bournemouth Predictions, Betting Tips & Match Preview

Luke Hamilton 03 Mar 2026
  • Chelsea host Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night in the Premier League and will be aiming to return to winning ways after losing at home to Aston Villa on Saturday.

    Enzo Maresca’s side took the lead against the high-flying Villans but conceded two second-half goals and dropped out of the Premier League top four.

    However, the Blues now have a great opportunity to bounce back against a Bournemouth side who have not won since October.
