Fulham

LWLLWL

Fulham will be hoping for a better result after a 1-0 Premier League loss in their previous game against Bournemouth.

In that game, Fulham managed 59% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 7 on target. Bournemouth got 12 shots on goal with 3 of them 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 competition, Chelsea and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that game, Chelsea had 70% possession and 16 attempts at goal with 8 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Chelsea was Marc Cucurella (33'). Legia Warsaw had 13 shots on goal with 5 of them 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.

ℹ️ Team News: Fulham

Regarding absentees, there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Fulham gaffer Marco Silva to be concerned with due to a largely intact set of players. Reiss Nelson (Hamstring injury) won’t play.

📰 Team News: Chelsea

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Aarón Anselmino (unknown injury), Marc Guiu (Hamstring injury), Omari Kellyman (surgery), David Datro Fofana (Knee injury) and Wesley Fofana (surgery) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

🧠 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.
