West Ham United - Chelsea betting tips and odds

Though West Ham United definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. Chelsea are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

The Blues are heading into what’s surely be a challenge. The Hammers are not to be taken lightly and an away victory would certainly be a big success for the visitors.

The last round brought a very good result overall for The Hammers. They took a difficult Premier League trip and managed to go against all odds in order to record an important Newcastle United away draw.

The away team hit an impasse last round in their matchup against Fulham, failing to take the victory as most Premier League betting predictions expected they would. Besides the fact they had home-field advantage, top bookmakers online offered prices of around Fulham.

Top bookmakers online are offering short odds on The Blues winning to Nill because they haven’t conceded a single goal for the past 3 matches.

The Hammers have not been recording great results so far, and online bookmakers aren’t predicting that to change. There’s still the bulk of the season to go through, though, so The Hammers’s 16th spot can still be improved.

This is the second time we’re seeing these two teams clash in this Premier League season. The Blues won the first time, though it was a narrow victory in a home game. That said, the 3.40 odds for them winning still mean that they’re the favourites.

West Ham’s chances of winning are more difficult to gauge than usual. Though they would be underdogs anyhow, Kurt Zouma, Gianluca Scamacca, Maxwel Cornet have been injured on top of that. Needless to say, they have a difficult match to look forward to.

Considering the teams’ respective records and histories, and Under 2.5 Goals bet here is a shoo-in. The returns are not exactly jaw-dropping, but that’s to be expected from a bet as safe as this one.
