Bournemouth vs Chelsea Prediction, Betting Tips & Match Preview – Premier League 2025/26
The Vitality Stadium sets the scene for a South Coast showdown as Bournemouth host Chelsea in a Premier League encounter on Saturday, 6th December 2025 at 16:00 WAT / 15:00 GMT.
The Cherries, plummeting to 14th on 19 points after four straight losses (including 0-1 at Everton), desperately need a spark—their defense crumbling with 2.6 GA avg. Chelsea, cruising in 4th with 24 points and unbeaten in five (3W-2D), chase the top three after a 1-1 draw at Arsenal. Bournemouth’s home fight (2W-2D in 5) meets Maresca’s Blues’ road prowess (3W in 5 aways), but H2H favors draws: 3 straight (last 0-0 in Dec 2024). Injuries: Bournemouth sans Kluivert; Chelsea miss Caicedo (doubt).
At Socapredict, we’ve sifted stats, form, and odds—Chelsea’s class shines.
