The season is shaping up, but it is still pretty early to tell how it will go, and we all know how unpredictable the EPL can get. We’ve seen top teams struggle since the start of the season.
The teams have been closely matched, and we can’t tell how it would go. It is an exciting start to the season.
With six games gone, we’re moving at a fast-paced this season and getting closer to more games coming up. It would be an exciting run, and more teams would want to add more points tally to their existing records.
No Team Has a Perfect Record
No team has a perfect record following Arsenal’s defeat at Old Trafford last weekend. However, Manchester City and Tottenham are still unbeaten so far this season.
But this week, our focus is on one of this season’s London derbies as two of the closest neighbors in the league face off for three points.
Chelsea doesn’t need to travel far as they take a trip down to face Fulham in an epic match. As we approach the day of the match, we would like to look at the game and both teams while we give our Fulham vs Chelsea score prediction and picks.
Fulham vs. Chelsea Preview
On the 10th of September, Chelsea would take a trip to Craven Cottage as they try to make it two wins in two, following bad losses to Leeds and Southampton.
On the other hand, Fulham would want to continue their incredible run against top teams. They’ve had some excellent results against the top teams.
So far, there is only a little to separate both teams as they have lost the same number of games. The only difference is that Chelsea has won three, while Fulham has won two.
However, we have to give kudos to Fulham as they’ve done better than expected since they returned from relegation. Therefore, we expect a tight game.
Fulham vs. Chelsea Odds Breakdown
| Fulham | Draw | Chelsea |
|---|---|---|
| +320 | +280 | -125 |
Fulham’s Odds Breakdown
Fulham has started the season well. They’ve played some tough teams and done well enough to record two wins and two draws in six games.
However, they are still considered the underdogs for this tie. The team has +320 odds to win this tie, and as a result, they have a 24% chance of winning.
Over the years, they’ve won about 11% of the matches they had these odds. So, there is a chance that we might see Fulham come out on top.
Chelsea’s Odds Breakdown
However, Chelsea has -125 odds to win this game. With these odds, they have a 56% chance of winning, and they’ve won 39% of the matches they’ve had these odds.
Their record doesn’t seem convincing, given that they’ve only won 39% of the matches they had these odds.
So, we might have to consider a draw for this game because both teams seem to be on the same wavelength. In that case, a bet on the +280 odds for a draw might not be a bad idea.
Fulham vs. Chelsea Betting Preview
We’ve always known London clubs to take the derby seriously. So, we would expect some end-to-end games between these teams as they gear up for an exciting showdown.
It won’t be an easy match for either side. Even though Chelsea is the favorite to win this tie, there is a chance that they would struggle to win the game.
Fulham vs. Chelsea: A Tight Match
In that case, we are looking at a tight match between the teams. Fulham isn’t a team we can overlook because they’ve proven to be a strong contender to avoid relegation.
So, getting as many three points is essential to the team. They want to make an impact as early as possible, making this game tricky to bet on in terms of making a solid Fulham vs Chelsea score prediction.
Fulham
Fulham stats for the new season started with a 2-2 draw against Liverpool. It was a tightly contested game that saw the team take the lead twice against one of the top title contenders.
We saw the fighting spirit in the team as they almost took three points from the match against the Reds. Fulham couldn’t repeat their exciting, free-scoring tactics in the next game as they failed to score.
But fortunately, they didn’t concede any goals as well. Even though they were yet to lose, they didn’t register a win in their first two games. Playing against Brentford changed that as they claimed their first three points.
Unbeaten in their first three games, they went on to face in-form Arsenal in another London derby, but they registered their first loss this time.
Fulham Came to Win
They narrowly lost 2-1. It was an exciting game that proved that Fulham wasn’t here to play. The team was ready to put in the work and win games.
Then, they faced Brighton & Hove Albion, another top in-form team. Ultimately, they won their second game, inflicting Albion’s first loss of the season.
It was another tight match. Both sides didn’t want to give up anything. However, in their last game, they lost to Conte’s Tottenham, who are still unbeaten this season.
Chelsea
Before the start of the season, Chelsea was one of the top contenders to challenge Manchester City for the title.
However, after a few games into the season, they look shaky despite spending loads in the transfer window. They’ve spent the most since the transfer window, but they’ve been struggling.
They started the season with a win at Goodison Park for the first time in five years, and it seemed like they might be on the verge of doing well this season.
However, that wasn’t the case as they drew Tottenham and lost to Leeds United. After the game against Leeds, the team won with ten men against Leicester City.
It wasn’t long again when they lost to Southampton. Following that, they won against West Ham United. Unfortunately, they lost their opening Champions League match.
Tricky Betting Predictions for Chelsea
Making any Chelsea prediction is tricky because you can’t tell how they would perform in their upcoming matches as they’ve been unreliable this season.
Because of this rollercoaster of results, the management decided to let go of Thomas Tuchel. So, we will be seeing someone else manage the team against Fulham.
We will likely see a different lineup as they would try to impose their ideology and plan on the team to get it running and performing.
Fulham vs. Chelsea Pick and Prediction
Fulham hasn’t won against Chelsea in their last 20 meetings. Chelsea has won 12, and eight have ended in draws. So, going by their head-to-head, Chelsea has this in the bag.
But this season hasn’t been good for the Blues. We expect a tough match in that case, but we don’t see Fulham breaking the deadlock and winning the game. Below is our Fulham vs Chelsea score prediction.
Final Score Prediction: Fulham (0) vs. Chelsea (2)
EPL Pick: Chelsea to win (-130)
