Chelsea vs Fulham Prediction Match Details
This game will be played at Stamford Bridge, London
The Blues and the Cottagers will look to lock horns in the London Derby in an early kick-off as Mauro Pochettino’s team welcomes Marco Silva’s team at the Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea Preview & Form
Chelsea currently sits in tenth place with 28 points in the league, and with a victory in this match, Pochettino’s team will move to a provisional seventh place pending the outcome of other matches, moving ahead of Brighton, Manchester United, and Newcastle. Chelsea’s dreams for European competitions continue, as they will look to continue their impressive performance at Stamford Bridge.
Pochettino’s side’s defence was solid at the beginning of the season, but in recent weeks they have struggled to keep clean sheets as they have conceded at least one goal in eight of their 10 home matches this season. Statistics show that 35% of Chelsea conceded goals occurred after 75 minutes of play.
Chelsea’s scoring consistency has been remarkable in their last four home Premier League matches, as they scored two or more goals.
Fulham Preview & Form
Fulham have displayed a fine record when playing at home, beating Arsenal 2-1 in their last Premier League match, but they struggle when playing away from their home soil. The Cottagers are on a four-match losing streak in the Premier League as pressure keeps mounting on Marco Silva.
When playing away from Craven Cottage, they have won only once, and that victory came on the opening weekend of the campaign season with the victory against Everton.
Fulham have been poor in terms of goals when playing away games, as they have scored nine goals in their last 10 away matches.
Fulham have conceded at least two goals or more in each of their last four Premier League matches, and they have conceded 23 away goals and 12 goals at the Craven Cottage Stadium.
