Bournemouth – Statistics & Current Form

Eddie Howe is now 41 years old and has been head coach of AFC Bournemouth for more than six years. Visually, Howe could be estimated at mid-20. The young coach is one of the hottest coaching stocks in England and represents the new, young generation – well-known in Germany as a “laptop coach”. Howe is considered a tactical genius who has developed from a small club an established Premier League representative. Again and again he has been associated with larger clubs, but so far he holds loyalty to Bournemouth. Qualifying for Europe would be the culmination of his outstanding work. In recent weeks, it ran for the Cherries but only to a limited extent as desired. After 20 points from the first ten league games Bournemouth has collected only ten points in the last 13 league games. Three wins, one draw and nine defeats are clear evidence of the weak form in recent weeks. After all, Bournemouth celebrated in the last league game a 2-0 home win against West Ham United and thus could maintain the connection to the international starting places. However, for these dreams to be realistic, the Howe team must return to the form at the start of the season.

Hope for the duel with the blues is the fact that all three wins – in the last 13 games – were retracted at each Vitality Stadium. The home record is absolutely positive with six wins, three draws and three defeats. Only against Manchester United (1: 2), Arsenal London (1: 2) and Liverpool FC (0: 4) Bournemouth could not score at home. The home games against Manchester City and Tottenham are still pending, accordingly, the Cherries against the top teams at home are still without point win. Should this series come to an end, the odds of 1 / X in the game between Bournemouth and Chelsea will be over 2.00.

In terms of personnel, the Howe team must continue to do without the long-term injured Lewis Cook and captain Simon Francis (both cruciate ligament tears) after an eleven-day break. Newcomer Dominic Solanke is still in trouble and has to wait for his debut. This could be another new addition. Welsh international Chris Mepham (21) was recently signed by Brentford for 14 million euros.

Boruc – Smith, Ake, Cook, Clyne – Fraser, Lerma, Gosling, Brooks – Wilson, King
