Chelsea vs Fulham Preview and Prediction
In a high-stakes West London derby, both Chelsea and Fulham seek redemption following setbacks in the League Cup semi-finals in midweek.
Chelsea return to Stamford Bridge reeling from a 1-0 loss to Middlesbrough, while Fulham, falling victim to a Liverpool comeback, look to bounce back from a 2-1 defeat.
Chelsea’s recent 4-0 FA Cup triumph over Preston North End sets the stage for their encounter with Middlesbrough, where they faced adversity due to injuries and call-ups.
Despite a challenging League Cup clash, the Blues eye a third consecutive Premier League win, crucial for manager Mauricio Pochettino’s current agenda.
Meanwhile, Fulham, despite a commendable defensive display against Liverpool, aim to reverse their dismal away form in the Premier League. The Cottagers, currently 13th, strive to end a four-game losing streak on the road.
Prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Fulham
Chelsea vs Fulham Betting Tips
- Chelsea to win @ 8/13
- Cole Palmer to score @ 7/4
- Combined Odds @ 2/1
Chelsea vs Fulham Betting Tip 1: Chelsea to win @ 8/13
Despite Chelsea’s unconvincing form, it’s difficult to look past them against Fulham on Saturday.
Chelsea were victorious in the reverse fixture, when a 2-0 win ended their three-game winless streak in the league. Also, the Cottagers’ last win at Stamford Bridge dates all the way back to 1979.
Having also competed in the League Cup in midweek, Fulham have one less day than their opponents for recovery, providing a favourable condition for this bet.
Chelsea vs Fulham Betting Tip 2: Cole Palmer to score @ 7/4
Cole Palmer’s stellar performances at Chelsea deserve attention. In the League Cup semi-final, he showcased his talent as a frontman in a fluid system, posing a constant threat and contributing to four of Chelsea’s 18 shots. Despite missing two ‘big chances,’ there’s confidence in his goal-scoring abilities against Fulham this weekend.
In the Premier League, Palmer has netted eight times with a goals per 90 rate of 0.63. His recent standout game against Luton saw him score twice and play a crucial role in all three goals for his team.
