Bournemouth vs Chelsea Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The Cherries have failed to defeat the Blues in their last eight attempts.

AFC Bournemouth are now gearing up to take on Chelsea in matchweek 15 of the English Premier League 2025-26 edition. The Vitality Stadium will witness this interesting contest between these clubs.

The Cherries are in a poor run of form at the moment. They have lost both of their last two league games. First, Bournemouth gave up a two-goal lead against Sunderland to lose the game and then faced a defeat at the hands of Everton as well. Despite being at home, they are going to be under pressure.

Chelsea are coming in after facing a shocking defeat at the hands of Leeds United in their last match. It was a poor performance by them, which cost them three important points here. The Blues have performed well against AFC Bournemouth in the past and will be looking to take them down yet again.

Players to Watch

Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth)

After a positive start to the season, Antoine Semenyo failed to carry his form. He will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side stand a chance against Chelsea. Semenyo still has nine goal involvements in 13 league games this season and will be keen to score a goal or two.

Pedro Neto (Chelsea)

The Portuguese winger was the sole goal scorer in Chelsea’s 1-3 loss against the Peacocks. He is going to play a crucial role in the attacking front for his side. Pedro Neto will lead the attack from the right and is going to create problems for the opponent’s defence. He has scored four goals in 13 Premier League appearances in the ongoing campaign.
