In this article, you’ll discover Premier League Predictions from XpertStats tipsters.

Enzo Maresca’s side has hit a bit of a rough patch lately, managing just a single victory in their last six outings. It is a frustrating turn of events for a team that looked so dominant earlier in the season. Currently sitting in fifth place with 29 points, the pressure is mounting to stay within touching distance of the Champions League spots. Maresca noted that his team lacked a clinical edge in their recent loss, even though they controlled long stretches of the game. Still, the Blues historically finish the calendar year strong when playing in front of their own fans, losing only once in their last 22 year-ending home fixtures. Can they really turn things around on Tuesday night? It feels like the right moment for a statement performance, but Premier League Predictions are rarely straightforward in this league.
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has emphasized the importance of finishing 2024 with a victory as the Blues prepare to host Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge. While Wesley Fofana returns to the squad, fitness doubts remain over captain Reece James and star playmaker Cole Palmer. Maresca identified defensive control as a key area for improvement, reiterating that securing Champions League qualification remains the club's primary target.

This selection is heavily supported by the statistical profiles of both Chelsea and Bournemouth. At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea has been a corner machine, averaging 6.78 corners won per match. Their tactical approach under Enzo Maresca involves heavy wing play and consistent delivery into the box, which naturally results in high corner counts. Conversely, Bournemouth's defensive style away from home leads to them conceding an average of 5.22 corners. When you combine these figures, the overall average for matches involving these two sides sits at 11.17 corners per game. Furthermore, 78% of Chelsea’s home games and 67% of Bournemouth’s away fixtures have seen at least 10 corners. With both teams desperate for points to end the year, expect an open game with frequent attacks. The pressure on both ends of the pitch should easily see the corner count surpass the 9.5 threshold.
