In the remaining matches against Granada and Chelsea, the Cherries could only correct the score to 2-1. After three games of preparation, Bournemouth entered the new season in the best possible way.

Betdoin's view on the match

Betdoin's value betting system sees value in this match mainly in the goal bets as the bookmakers are expecting a rather cautious duel to open the season and the lines are, therefore, written very low. Huge value lies in betting on both teams to score. Statistically, this bet would have worked in 4 of the last 6 competitive games played between these teams. Taking into account the fact that both teams are among the best the English Championship has to offer with aspirations for the top spots, this bet seems like a very interesting option.
