Fulham - Chelsea betting tips and odds

Fulham managing to pull off a victory here would be quite the upset. They are definitely underdogs, so even the home-field advantage isn’t able to push the odds lower than 4.00 for a home win.

Though Chelsea are the stronger team between the two, we wouldn’t call an away bet at the odds of 2.05 a safe one. It’s shaping up to be quite an exciting match.

Fulham are coming on the back of an away draw (0:0) in the previous round against Crystal Palace . The score was tied at both half-time and the final whistle, which isn’t too bad for The Cottagers considering the 2.12 odds on them.

Chelsea mildly embarrassed themselves on their home turf in the previous round. They suffered a 0:1 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa – a weaker team relatively speaking – and their confidence must have taken a hit.

The Cottagers gans are hoping for better defensive performance then what they’ve seen in away games. The previous three matches featured 7 conceded goals.

Chelsea’s past two matches featured less than 2 goals. As such, going for markets such as Over 2.5 or Both Teams to Score is not recommended.

The Blues earned just 5 points in the season so far, which lands them just 4 points above the relegation zone. It’s not a disaster yet – especially not this early – but earning a better score with a matchup like The Cottagers will be no easy feat.

The Cottagers’s chances of winning are more difficult to gauge than usual. Though they would be underdogs anyhow, Saša Lukić, Tosin Adarabioyo, Adama Traoré have been injured on top of that. Needless to say, they have a difficult match to look forward to.

The visiting team’s position as favourites is beyond question, especially with their whole roster at hand. They’ve had no recent injuries heading into the match at The Cottagers,

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.94 if you use the Betsson sportsbook.
