Chelsea hosts AFC Bournemouth in an English Premier League match. Both teams are experiencing a dip in form, each with only one win in their last six league games. Chelsea suffered a 1-2 defeat to Aston Villa in their recent match, while AFC Bournemouth also lost 1-2 to Aston Villa. Both sides are eager to turn their fortunes around. Chelsea is likely to employ a 4-2-3-1 formation. However, due to attacking personnel shortages, their approach may be characterized by high-pressure possession play with inefficient attacking. They may rely on crosses from the flanks and set pieces to create opportunities, but their set-piece conversion rate is only 18%. AFC Bournemouth is expected to adopt a defensive approach with a 5-4-1 formation, focusing on compacting the space in their own half. They will aim to limit Chelsea's attacks through their defensive setup, restricting Chelsea's ability to penetrate through the middle. While AFC Bournemouth has struggled against strong teams, they have often managed to keep the score within two goals. The contrasting tactics of high-pressure, inefficient attacks versus dense defence may lead to a low-scoring match. Even if Chelsea scores, consecutive goals are unlikely, suggesting a low-scoring game.
