Both to Strike in Premier League Action

Well, nice one Coventry. Not very festive of you, is it? We really need a winner, so let's crack on. We'll go back to the BTTS well as Chelsea play hosts to Bournemouth in the Premier League tonight.

Truth be told, neither of these two sides are enjoying the form of their lives with both sides losing their previous matches to set up a potentially nervous affair. Chelsea dominated for the most part across the first half with Aston Villa, but then completely fell to bits as they were drawn to a 2-1 defeat after leading early. They looked properly open every time Unai Emery's side came forward, with Villa hoisting five big chances, two goals and eight shots on target from just 11 attempts.

That game marked the fourth time in five matches that the BTTS market has paid out in Chelsea games. The only caveat here was their 2-0 win over Everton at Stamford Bridge. However, this was a David Moyes side with only seven away goals to their name from nine trips on the road, so the Toffees not giving Chelsea much trouble wasn't exactly the shock of the day.

Where Bournemouth are concerned, they have seen both teams hit the net in each of their last three Premier League games and held four goals in a 4-1 loss to Brentford on the road. The Cherries are not enjoying their greatest run - they'd only lost one league game all season after their 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest, but that game (which was in October) marked their most recent win. That was nine games ago, and Bournemouth are down in 15th and struggling with fatigue impacting the way they play.

Bournemouth have been crap on the road, winning just one of their nine away days in the Premier League season so far with these games producing a massive 43 goals at 4.77 goals per game. At 27, they have conceded more away-day goals than any other Premier League side, and have conceded four-or-more goals in their last two away games too.

Whether through a rip-roaring affair or a lack in defensive quality, both sides should be finding the net here.

Louis Wheeldon Lead Writer and Editor

An avid gambler, football obsessive and loyal Nottingham Forest fan, Louis has been writing about football and wider sports since he was just 15 years old.

Armed with a Football Journalism degree from the University of Derby, he initially joined the Football Park team in April 2025 as a Freelance Writer, before quickly being offered a full-time position as the site's Lead Writer and Betting Strategist. His time working in football has taken him to every corner of the sports media landscape possible, with roles for GiveMeSport, Reach PLC and VAVEL included amongst the 15 different websites he has written for in the past, whilst his roles in club media include non-league sides Hucknall Town and Basford United - he can still be found on live radio commentary with the latter from time to time - as well as Nottingham Forest themselves.

During his tenure at GiveMeSport, Louis showcased his range by producing everything from historical deep-dives into Liverpool's greatest-ever finishers to tactical breakdowns. His expertise also extends to the betting markets, where he has provided sharp match analysis and predictions for fixtures such as England vs. Finland in the Nations League.

Louis holds a knowledge of the 92 and it's various combatants that is as varied as it is mildly concerning. He channelled this keen interest in the sport into a hopeful career in professional journalism back in 2018 with the launch of his own personal From12Yards blog whilst studying for his GCSE's, before expanding his list of clientele with articles on his beloved Nottingham Forest for a local newspaper and freelancing for different publications over a range of sports, including darts, professional wrestling, MMA, boxing and Formula 1 (he talks about Daniel Ricciardo a concerning amount).
