AFC Bournemouth vs Chelsea Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/06/25

Bournemouth’s 1-0 defeat at home to Everton on Tuesday was their 4th defeat in their last 5 games and they could be in line for more misery when Chelsea visit the Vitality Stadium on Saturday. Chelsea were Arsenal’s closest challengers in the title fight until just a few days ago but a draw with the Gunners and then a defeat at Leeds in their own midweek assignment means they go into this round of fixtures in 4th spot, 9 points behind the league leaders. This trip to an out-of-sorts Cherries looks a good chance for Chelsea to end their own mini-blip, and a straightforward road win looks the best option.

Bournemouth did the league double over Chelsea in the 2018-19 season but they haven’t managed to beat the Londoners since. Chelsea have won 4 of the last 6 meetings between these 2 sides and they should be able to claim maximum points on Saturday. The Cherries have struggled against the top teams in the league, losing to Chelsea’s top-6 rivals Aston Villa, Man City and Sunderland since the start of November, and their record against those kinds of teams is why they have fallen away in their own fight for European qualification.
