Chelsea vs A.F.C. Bournemouth Tickets

Chelsea vs Bournemouth may not quite have the ring to it like other Premier League fixtures, but there have been some hugely exciting matches in recent years between these two teams.

The Blues have a storied and trophy-laden history, especially during the Roman Abramovich years under managers such as Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti and Antonio Conte all proving successful.

The iconic Stamford Bridge will have helped with that, as the 41,837 capacity stadium has become a fortress for the Blues over the years and many teams do not look forward to when the fixture is approaching.

Compared to the Londoners, the Cherries are certainly very new to the scene, however, they were very impressive during the managerial guidance that Eddie Howe offered throughout their years in the top-flight.

Chelsea vs Bournemouth head-to-head

Chelsea has actually had a mixed bag of results when it comes down to playing the south coast outfit at the Bridge, though, with the Cherries having upset the party on more than one occasion in the past.

In January 2018, Bournenouth pulled out one of their most famous Premier League victories. They faced a Chelsea side that included Thibaut Courtois, Ngolo Kante and Eden Hazard, and smashed them 3-0.

All three goals came in the second half. Callum Wilson notched the first and then set up the second for Junior Stanislas. The third came from Nathan Ake to cap off an incredible Bournemouth victory.

Despite those poor results, Stamford Bridge is usually a solid home base for Chelsea when playing Bournemouth. As you might expect, the Blues go into these games as heavy favourites.

Following that 3-0 home defeat in 2018, Chelsea eased past Bournemouth in subsequent meetings. With two more clean sheet wins in the same calendar year, in the Premier League and Carabao Cup.

Star men like Eden Hazard, Diego Costa and N’Golo Kante have all featured heavily in these games throughout history and have put on clinics in the past, whilst the Cherries add to the spectacle with the likes of Callum Wilson, Joshua King and former Chelsea prospect, Nathan Ake.

Chelsea versus Bournemouth is a fixture that has caused the hosts a spot of bother when played at Stamford Bridge in the past, however, goals are certainly the order of business when the two sides do meet.
