Chelsea face fellow capital outfit Fulham in this weekend’s fixture list of Premier League action with the Blues hoping to continue upon their rich vein of from heading into the forthcoming Stamford Bridge showdown.
Thomas Tuchel’s men salvaged a pivotal draw from their travels to Spain earlier this week with a Christian Pulisic strike ensuring a 1-1 stalemate against Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals contest.
Our betting predictions for Chelsea vs Fulham match are:
CHELSEA VS FULHAM BETTING TIPS
SAFE BETS
Fulham in their last outing had managed to secure a draw away to Arsenal on the back of a solid defensive showing and Chelsea themselves have been at their best at the back having conceded just once across their last three outings. Thus betting on the goals to be under 2.5 at odds of 1.90 (bet365) can be a really good bet.
We could see another lacklustre display from Chelsea on the attacking front with the Blues having endured a goalless draw last time around they played at the Bridge against Brighton. Fulham too have failed to hit the ground running in the final third of the pitch, hence betting on both teams not scoring a single goal at odds of 1.65 (betway) is a safe bet.
QUICK RICH
Christian Pulisic is one name in the Chelsea camp who would be raring to carry on his lethal form in front of the goal following his opening strike against Real Madrid earlier this week in Champions League action. Hence betting on the American international to find the back of the net at odds of 2.62 (bet365) is a good bet to make.
The visitors will be keen to make a point whilst on the road to the Blues who carry top-four ambitions with the season nearing its end. Scott Parker’s Fulham outfit would be in the fray to make a major impact early on and could as well draw first blood, hence betting on Fulham to be in the lead at the half-time break at odds of 7.00 (betway) is a good bet.
WIN/LOSE/DRAW
Despite Chelsea not being at their very best of late in domestic league football, the Blues are heavy favourites for their upcoming contest at Stamford Bridge against a Fulham side that sit in the Premier League table’s drop zone, seven points adrift of the 17th placed Brighton. Hence we expect the Blues to secure a win at odds of 1.45 (betway).
BET DURING THE MATCH
Hakim Ziyech has not been included in Tuchel’s starting plans for some of the recent outings for the Blues but the Moroccon international would be in the mix to grab a role this around in the Blues frontline at the expense of Mason Mount. Should Ziyech be in the starting eleven for the hosts, betting on him to score at odds of 3.20 (bet365) is a good bet to make during the match.
Chelsea overall form – LWDWD
Fulham overall form – LLLLD
