It’s been a busy off-field period for Chelsea, who have appointed Christopher Wyvell as their new technical director this week. The main key player in the Red Bulls team in Leipzig stated upon arrival that Chelsea are building the most exciting project in world football and he is very proud to be joining the club.” While things seem to be moving in the right direction behind the scenes, their momentum on the pitch has slowed significantly before the World Cup break in Qatar. The Blues started the second half of the championship eighth in the standings, while the team lost their last three official matches, after which they failed to cope with Aston Villa in a friendly game (0:1). What is alarming is the fact that the “pensioners” could not score a single goal in four games. The hosts have six victories and three peaceful outcomes, which corresponds to 21 points. This is five less than Manchester United. Today Ziyech, Loftus Cheek, Kovacic, Arrizabalga, Kante, Fofan, Chukvuemek and Brodja, who has a knee injury, will not be able to play.
Bournemouth ended the first half of the Premier League tournament on a positive note with an impressive 3:0 victory over Everton. The long break from the World Cup did not help the Cherries, which eventually led to a 0:1 defeat in the English League Cup by Newcastle. However, manager Gary O’Neill was pleased with how “competitive” his team was. Moreover, it is Bosko that are a formidable opponent for today’s hosts, since since the start of the 2015/16 season, only Liverpool and Manchester City have beaten the Londoners in more Premier League matches at Stamford Bridge than today’s guests. Nevertheless, there is little hope for success. The Cherries conceded the most in the Premier League and never managed to keep the gate intact on the road. For 14 rounds Bournemouth have four victories and draws each, which corresponds to 16 points and 14th position in the standings. Tavernier, Kelly, Fredericks, Neto and Brooks, who has a hip injury, will not be able to play today. More soccer win predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
