Bournemouth vs Chelsea match review, 10:00 p.m. December 6: Vitality is in a storm, The Blues are looking for their lost smile

VHO - Commentary on the match Bournemouth vs Chelsea, round 15 of the Premier League, facing a declining home team, Cole Palmer and his teammates have the opportunity to end a streak of 2 games without a win.

Bournemouth vs Chelsea form

At the end of October, Bournemouth fans were still smiling brightly. Coach Andoni Iraola and his team easily defeated Nottingham 2-0 to rise to 2nd place in the rankings, just below Arsenal. But no one expected that 1 month later, those smiles would turn... crooked!

Bournemouth started November with a 1-3 defeat at the Etihad against Man City. In the next 3 rounds, The Cherries only earned 1 point from poor results, losing 0-4 to Aston Villa, drawing 2-2 with West Ham and falling to newcomer Sunderland (2-3).

It was thought that the storm would soon pass when Bournemouth only had to welcome Everton, starting the festive month of December. However, in the end, Antoine Semenyo and his teammates unexpectedly showed a weak face right at the Vitality's lair and received a deserved 0-1 defeat.

Earning only 1 point after the last 5 rounds, Bournemouth from 2nd place, fell 12 places to 14th place. Although the risk of relegation is not threatened because they are still 7 points away from the red light group, the poor streak of matches has once again put the dream of conquering a ticket to the European arena of coach Iraola and his team under a big challenge.

Not as bad as the home team, but the result in Chelsea's last outing certainly cannot make Stamford Bridge fans happy. After a brave draw against Arsenal, The Blues are expected to find their winning inspiration again when they only have to visit Elland Road, against the struggling Leeds team in the bottom group.

But instead of leaving with 3 full points, the team under coach Enzo Maresca was extremely disappointed, receiving a 1-3 defeat. Also because of only pocketing 1 point after the last 2 rounds, the West London giant was surpassed by both Man City and Aston Villa, falling to 4th place.

Chelsea have won three of their last four trips to Vitality.

In case of empty-handed at Vitality this weekend, it is possible that Chelsea will continue to fall to the middle of the rankings because the gap between them and the 10th ranked team is only 3 points.

However, if looking at the current form of both sides of the front line, Chelsea is of course still rated higher for the possibility of winning. The away team itself has won 3/4 of the recent away trips in the Premier League.

The superior head-to-head record is also another bright spot to put your trust in The Blues. In the last 7 meetings between the two sides, the London giants have won 5 and drawn 2.
