Chelsea vs West Ham Prediction & Betting tips
Antonio Rüdiger, Chelsea FC defender, recently made a big gesture when he bought the nursing staff from 13 English clinics a lunch, thanking them for their work. His football career has stalled a bit, because six months before the European Championship, the 27-year-old has only played his only Premier League match this season. Most recently, the ex-Stuttgart was regularly left out.
Generally things are not going well for the blues at the moment. After the recent two defeats, the Londoners have dropped to eighth place and are in danger of losing contact with leaders Liverpool. The upcoming derby at the end of the 14th matchday on Monday evening is all the more important. Then Chelsea receives West Ham. The odds of the best bookmakers imply a clear favorite role in favor of the home side, but a complicated task awaits.
After a 2019/2020 season plagued by relegation worries, the Hammers are currently one of the positive surprises in England’s Beletage. With only one point less than the upcoming opponent, the Moyes-Elf currently ranks ninth and can continue to dream of participating in the Europa League. Especially against the top teams, the Irons have so far been able to convince.
Against this background, before the capital derby between Chelsea and West Ham, we dare to predict that a tip on the guests contains the more attractive value. Anyone who does not believe in a surprising point win by the Hammers after 90 minutes could at least place a bet that the supposed underdog will keep the game open for as long as possible.
Chelsea :
Chelsea Football Club is currently experiencing a minor earnings crisis. The Londoners could not win any of the last three competitive games. In addition to two avoidable away defeats in Everton and Wolverhampton, the English top team had to be content with a 1-1 home draw against Krasnodar at the (meaningless) conclusion of the Champions League group stage.
The blues have lost a lot of momentum and even have to worry about joining the top quartet on Monday evening. If in the home game against the city rivals no points jump out again, the gap to fourth position could grow to five points. At the same time, coach Frank Lampard’s men would receive three defeats in a row in the Premier League for the first time since November 2015.
Hope that a prognosis for the home win between Chelsea and West Ham will pay off is at least made by the statistics. For one thing, the Blues have only lost one of the last 14 matches in the league against their upcoming opponents. On the other hand, Timo Werner, Hai Havertz and Co. have now been unbeaten at home for five Premier League games (three wins, two draws). As a small fun fact, it can also be reported that the CFC only lost the last league game before Christmas in two of the past 30 seasons (most recently against Leicester in 2018).
The fact that the Londoners still do not expect a sure-fire success, however, underlines the look at the classification of the first half. The title contender was only in front in five of 13 games at break. In addition, only eight of the total of 26 hits (!) Get in the first 45 minutes.
West Ham :
If it had been said before the season that West Ham United had as many wins after 13 matchdays as Chelsea or Manchester City, not many would probably have thought that possible. However, the reality is that the Hammers have already had the upper hand six times this season and are therefore deservedly in ninth place, just three points behind fourth-placed.
The form of the club from the East End of London is also impressive, as only one of the last six Premier League matches was lost. Instead, coach David Moyes’ team celebrated four wins during this period and shared the points with Crystal Palace at 1-1 during the week. The Irons once again underlined their fantastic morals. After falling behind, the capital city club already fought for five points in 2020/21 and thus as many as in the entire previous season.
Not least because of this, the three-time FA Cup winner makes the short trip to Stamford Bridge with a lot of self-confidence and a big chest. Especially in the first 45 minutes, the Hammers can be trusted a lot. The Londoners have only been behind twice in the season so far before the break. In more than half of all matches, the Irons even did not concede a goal at break. The best conditions for betting on Monday evening in the Premier League that the hosts won’t win the first half.
In the current condition of both teams, we would not even completely rule out the possibility that West Ham coach Moyes would finally get his first win in his 16th attempt at Chelsea FC. Incidentally, it would also be the third Hammers away win in a row and the next surprising point win against one of the “Big Six”. Manchester City, Tottenham and Leicester have already scored points for the Londoners this season.
Similar to his counterpart, David Moyes can virtually draw on unlimited resources. Only Arthur Masuaka has to watch injured. There are still one or two question marks behind the missions of Antonio, Balbuena, Bowen or Cresswell, but we believe that the aforementioned players will report in good time.
