Fulham vs Chelsea Prediction & Betting tips
In the Premier League, the West London derby between Fulham and Chelsea is on the program this Saturday evening. At Craven Cottage, both teams have to get a good result: Fulham because it is under the relegation line and Chelsea when it wants to find something of connection again.
Fulham:
Fulham can still hope to maintain the Premier League. The first half of the Premier League league schedule is nearing completion and Fulham is not looking very dramatic. Prior to this round of play, The Cottagers were only two points behind on safe seventeenth place. Fulham is currently the first club to reach the bottom line. West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield United have performed even less than the tradition club from London this season. In the unlikely event that Fulham will be relegated to the Championship again in a number of months, that is not a financial disaster for The Cottagers.
However, enforcement is still possible for the West London club. Especially when you see the results of Fulham in recent weeks. Scott Parker’s team has been unbeaten for six games in a row and five of those games have been played in the Premier League. Unfortunately for The Cottagers, all those games ended in a draw and Fulham didn’t get much better either. For example, Parker’s team still managed to get one point from the game at Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday-evening: 1-1. Fulham has not won against Chelsea for nineteen games in a row. In addition, The Cottagers will have to do without Ruben Loftus-Cheek on Saturday night in this West London Derby, as he is rented from Chelsea.
Chelsea:
The Premier League is very unpredictable this season. Chelsea is a good example of this. The West Londoners were mentioned as one of the title contenders a few weeks ago. At the moment nobody at Chelsea thinks of a national championship anymore. In the past period, The Blues have lost so many points that they are barely in the left row. The counter at Chelsea stands at 26 points after 17 league games. In comparison: PhD candidate Leeds United took only three points less in as many matches.
The pressure on Frank Lampard has increased again in recent weeks. That is not surprising, because Chelsea only won one of the last six league games. Moreover, The Blues did not win one of the last three matches. The game against Fulham on Saturday evening will only be Chelsea’s second league game in 2021. In the first league game of this calendar year, Manchester City lost 1-3. Last weekend Chelsea had obligations in the FA Cup in which it was 4-0 too strong for League Two club Morecambe FC. Just like Fulham, Chelsea also has a reasonably fit selection for this game, as only N’Golo Kanté is missing due to a suspension. Chelsea remained unbeaten in 27 of the last 28 duels with Fulham and that may give The Blues some confidence for the game at Craven Cottage.
