📏 Form Guide

Fulham

LWLLWL

Fulham will be hoping to return to winning ways here after the 1-0 Premier League defeat in their last game at the hands of Bournemouth.

In that game, Fulham managed 59% possession and 12 shots on goal with 7 of them on target. Bournemouth had 12 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Antoine Semenyo (1') scored for Bournemouth.

It’s not been often in recent times where Fulham have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Fulham have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 10 goals on the way.

Heading into this fixture, Fulham are undefeated in their last 2 home league matches.

Chelsea

LWDWDL ⚖

After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Legia Warsaw in Conference League action, Chelsea will be aiming to make amends here.

In that match, Chelsea managed 70% possession and 16 shots on goal with 8 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Chelsea was Marc Cucurella (33'). At the other end, Legia Warsaw had 13 attempts at goal with 5 on target. Tomáš Pekhart (10') and Steve Kapuadi (53') scored for Legia Warsaw.

A series of outstanding displays from the Chelsea defence has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 3 from their previous 6 outings in total. In that period of time, their own forwards have managed to score 7. Historical results aside, we’ll just have to find out whether such a trend shall be maintained in this upcoming match.

Heading into this fixture, Chelsea are without an away win for the past 8 league games. It's not a good run at all.

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just a single fitness concern for the Fulham boss Marco Silva to contend with from a near full-strength squad. Reiss Nelson (Hamstring injury) is sidelined.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has to choose a team with limited availability. Aarón Anselmino (unknown injury), Marc Guiu (Hamstring injury), Omari Kellyman (surgery), David Datro Fofana (Knee injury) and Wesley Fofana (surgery) will not be playing here.

⚡ Prediction

Our feeling is that Chelsea and Fulham could both end up scoring in a what should be a good tussle with little between the two teams.

Let’s see how it plays out, but a draw is looking likely to us. We’re therefore expecting a hard-fought score draw at the end of this one.
