Chelsea vs Fulham Betting Analysis

Chelsea continued their staggering spending spree over the January transfer window by bringing in the likes of Mykhalio Mudryk, Enzo Fernandez among a host of other world-class talent in order to bolster their squad as Graham Potter looks to claw his side back into Champions League contention over the back half of the season.

Facing him on Friday are a West London rival in Fulham who sit three spots above Chelsea in the Premier League table with Marco Silva having done a tremendous job with the newly promoted side already this year.

Chelsea have gone undefeated against Fulham across each of their last 16 meetings inside Stamford Bridge, however, Fulham won the last meeting between the two teams just three weeks ago with a 2-1 victory at Craven Cottage.

Fulham Running Out of Steam Perhaps

After an incredible first half to their Premier League campaign which saw Fulham rank top six overall on total points gained over their opening 19 matches, we may be starting to see some fatigue start to filter into Marco Silva’s squad.

Heading into the back half of the season, Fulham have now gone winless across each of their last games across all competitions.

Another major factor that Fulham need to start limiting as well is their opponent chances created, with Fulham ranking bottom of the league in defensive xGA this season.

Chelsea Continues to Struggle Upfront

It’s interesting that despite spending 600 million in such a relatively short space of time, Chelsea have basically decided to upgrade every area of their roster bar their main attack, the one area that arguably has needed the most improvement over the first half of the season.

Only Southampton have netted fewer first-half goals this season than Chelsea have and Kai Havertz also has scored just five times all year with one assist, the 22nd-best haul in the EPL overall.

Chelsea vs Fulham Prediction

Despite all of Chelsea’s spending over the January transfer window, the data clearly points towards Fulham being the value side in this one.

However, Fulham’s recent form has been less than impressive it must be said, and the Cottagers could well be struggling to manage a very thin roster heading into the latter portion of the season.

Chelsea owns such a tremendous head-to-head record against Fulham in Stamford Bridge, we just about lean to the home side in this one.

Rather than taking them to cover the handicap, we’re instead opting to take Chelsea on the winning margin prop at a healthy +215 in this one. Take Chelsea on the winning margin prop – Chelsea to win by 1 goal at +215 to get to the window on Friday.

Prediction: Winning Margin – Chelsea to win by 1 goal (+215)
