Chelsea vs Bournemouth: the cut, and why I read over 2.5
Chelsea are favoured to beat Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge, with kick-off at 15:00 WAT. The best home price is 1.88 with 1xBet, well short of the draw and away prices on the list. The fact that shapes it is goals in recent Chelsea home games, as the results below show for you to check.

I used 1xBet as the reference for this game. Margin means the cut a book builds into prices, and that cut is smallest at 1xBet here. Out of every ₦1,000 you stake, about ₦15 stays with 1xBet, while ₦114 stays with SBO, the widest book on this list.
Implied means the chance the price suggests, and fair price means the price with the cut removed.
| Outcome | Price | Implied | Fair price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home | 1.88 | 53.2% | 1.91 |
| Draw | 4.16 | 24.0% | 4.22 |
| Away | 4.11 | 24.3% | 4.17 |
My read: over 2.5 goals, as these recent home results and past meetings show shared goals and that could continue.
Set a budget you can afford to lose and stick to it before you bet.
