Chelsea - Fulham betting tips and odds

Punters who are looking for a safe bet should definitely consider this match. The home win odds of 1.61 bring great value considering the fact that Chelsea are indeed firm favourites to defeat Fulham.

With a price of 6.00 on an away win among most online sportsbooks, it’s clear Fulham will likely not fare well against Chelsea. Even a draw seems to be too optimistic for the away team.

The Blues are coming on the back of an away draw (0:0) in the previous round against Liverpool . The score was tied at both half-time and the final whistle, which isn’t too bad for Chelsea considering the 2.08 odds on them.

The Cottagers’s latest Premier League performance against Tottenham Hotspur can’t be called bad, all things considered. Although Fulham were the home team, their opponents were much stronger and took home a narrow 0:1 win after taking the lead in the first half.

The previous two matches The Blues played in all ended with fewer than 2 goals at the final whistle. That doesn’t make for exciting football, but may be useful information if you’re planning a Goals Scored bet.

A lot of games Fulham play end with either 1 or no goals at all. This is most notably true for the previous two rounds of the league.

The visitors will be playing at a disadvantage this Friday, so it’s not likely that they’ll climb up the table to get to a Europa League qualification any time soon. There’s still close to half the season ahead of them, though, so they’ll have plenty of chances either way.

These two squads already clashed this season, and The Blues narrowly lost the bout. With a home-field advantage on their side, however, most bookies believe that they’re more likely to win this time.

Edouard Mendy, Christian Pulišić, Armando Broja, Denis Zakaria will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

The best choice for this fixture is quite easy to figure out – an Under 2.5 Goals bet at the odds of 1.98. It’s an almost guaranteed win that’s not too bad in the value department either.
