Chelsea - Fulham For the 22nd matchday of the English Premier League, Chelsea welcomes Fulham at Stamford Bridge.
In their last ever league match, 2 weeks ago, Chelsea were held to a 0-0 draw at home to Liverpool. If one team deserved to win the match it was them as they missed the most and biggest chances to score, especially in the first half. In the repetition, her pace dropped somewhat, she accepted phases but not so great that they would make her particularly anxious.
Having only 2 wins in the last 11 matches, Chelsea remains low in the score and in particular in 10th place with 29 points, at minus 21 from the first Arsenal and at minus 10 from the 4th and last place that gives participation in the groups of the next Champions League.
From a 1-0 home defeat, in another London derby by Tottenham, Fulham come to their last match in time for the Premier League. In the first half, she was quite competitive and missed chances to score, but only just before the end of the first half she fell behind. In the second half, her performance dropped, she showed little offensively and she was the one who conceded phases and for the second goal, so she could not avoid the defeat.
So Fulham suffered their 2nd straight defeat, though is located in the top seven of the standings with 31 points and theoretically within the bay for a European ticket.
Fulham were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Sunderland last Saturday in the cup and will now play the second leg qualifier at their opponents' home.
Chelsea are the favorites for the match as they may have ups and downs in their performance but their quality is undeniable. Fulham, on the other hand, are having an excellent run in the league but in recent matches they are showing a decline in their performance. I think the hosts will show their attacking quality in both halves.
Tip: Chelsea to score in both halves at odds of 2.60
