Chelsea vs Fulham – Betting Analysis

Looking at their previous head-to-head matches going back to March 1, 2014, we can see that Chelsea has won 5 of these games and Fulham has won 1, with 0 of these games ending in draws.

The two teams combined for 15 goals in these encounters, with The Blues scoring 11 and The Cottagers scoring 4. That equals 2.5 goals per game on average.

In their most recent league meeting, Fulham defeated Chelsea 2-1 on Premier League Match Day 7 on January 12, 2023.

At that point, Fulham had 48% of the possession and 3 of its 8 shots on goal were successful. Willian (25′) and Carlos Vinicius (73′) both scored goals.

Among Chelsea’s 20 shots on goal, 10 were on goal. (47′) Kalidou Koulibaly scored. David Coote served as the referee for the game.

Graham Potter, the manager of Chelsea, will be without Christian Pulisic (knee issues), Raheem Sterling (hamstring issue), Edouard Mendy (shoulder issue), Denis Zakaria (hamstring issue), N’Golo Kanté (hamstring issue), and Armando Broja (cruciate ligament rupture). Due to his suspension, Joo Félix is ineligible to compete in this match.

Only one player’s fitness is a concern for Fulham manager Marco Silva out of a group that is largely at full strength. Neeskens Kebano (ruptured Achilles tendon) won’t be participating.

Our hypothesis is that Chelsea will likely maintain control for extended periods of time and should be able to capitalize on a number of the opportunities they generate.

While we do believe that Fulham will most likely score here as well, they will not find it simple to score themselves.
