Having previously analysed Chelsea's match against Aston Villa, the initial odds appeared supportive but ultimately proved misleading, favouring Villa's victory. Now, Chelsea faces Bournemouth at home, with Bournemouth currently enduring a poor run of form, winless in their last nine Premier League matches. The question is whether to back Chelsea or anticipate an upset. The current data supporting Chelsea is insufficient. If the odds against Aston Villa were a setup, this match's opening odds seem similarly unconvincing. Given Bournemouth's poor form, most would expect a Chelsea win. The one-goal handicap, rather than encouraging caution, may foster complacency among fans, which is disadvantageous for Chelsea. Furthermore, Chelsea will be without Cucurella due to injury, potentially impacting team cohesion due to squad rotation. Therefore, a small upset by Bournemouth is favored. Prediction: Bournemouth +1
