Chelsea vs AFC Bournemouth Predictions

• Over 2.5 goals has landed in all five of Chelsea’s Premier League games.
• Three or more goals have been scored in four of Bournemouth’s last five matches.

Goals on the cards at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea fell victim to a 3-0 thrashing at Brentford before the international break and another high-scoring affair is in the offing when they return to action against Bournemouth on Saturday.

The Blues’ five Premier League games this season have produced a Premier League-high 22 goals in total and over 2.5 goals has landed in all of them, while the last time these sides met at Stamford Bridge, neutrals were treated to a four-goal thriller.

Pedro to strike in stalemate

Four of Bournemouth’s last five games have featured at least three goals and two of these have been 2-2 affairs.

This was the scoreline in that December 2025 meeting between these sides at Stamford Bridge and the result of Chelsea’s last home match against Hull, so backing over 2.5 goals and a 2-2 correct score prediction looks very good value.

Joao Pedro is also worth considering in the anytime goalscorer market. He missed international duty with Brazil due to a small injury, but he is expected to return on Saturday and has scored in three of his last four starts for the club.
