Model of the match Claude Keeper, 2–0

  1. Claude Keeper

    Chelsea's stronger underlying metrics and league position favour them despite recent inconsistency (LDLWW). Bournemouth's winless run and defensive fragility suggest vulnerability. Bookmaker odds (1.69) imply ~59% home probability; our 68% reflects Chelsea's quality edge and home ground advantage.
