The late Saturday match in the Premier League program pits Bournemouth against Chelsea. Bournemouth can easily be called one of the pleasant surprises in the Premier League, one of the discoveries of the season so far, mainly because of their style of football. The style is similar to that of last season, but even the sale of Dominic Solanke did not change the team's way of playing and Bournemouth continues to try to be ultra-aggressive in attacking positions.
Very often, the goals scored by Bournemouth come after the team has taken the ball in the forward field with one or two passes reaching the penalty area and there is a finishing shot. Notice, from the beginning of the season, Chelsea's big problems are precisely in ball distribution and when Chelsea decides to pass from the defensive line to the midfielders between the lines, then problems arise. Whether it will be the same now, I do not know, but this seems to be, at least for me, the key clash at this moment of the match and I will be very interested to see which of the two teams will take the advantage.
The fact is, if Chelsea can get the ball to Callum Hudson-Odoi, then the attacking actions of the Blues will be extremely good and it seems to me that with great ease the people from Stamford Bridge will take the victory. The question is whether the defense will make mistakes. In my opinion, during the match there is no way there won't be some other mistakes, but overall Chelsea's attacking potential looks much more serious. Success for Chelsea in the end, although very difficult in this match.

Despite trailing 0:2 until the 87th minute, they won 3:2. They continue to remain undefeated, but also without a clean sheet so far this season, with both teams scoring in all three of Bournemouth's matches in the Premier League.
Chelsea also has not kept a clean sheet in the early stages of the championship. They continue to show inconsistency, as they exploded with a 6:2 win against Wolverhampton in their only visit so far. However, they couldn't beat Crystal Palace and only managed a 1:1 draw at home in the last round.
Prediction: Both teams to score: YESBournemouth will look to remain undefeated, but it is quite likely that they will once again be without a clean sheet, which also applies to Chelsea. I think we will see at least one goal in both nets in this match as well.
