CHELSEA
Chelsea are currently 10th on the log and have had just two victories in their last 10 matches. Last time out they played out a goalless draw away at Liverpool and their last home game was a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace. Their home form has been a bit hit and miss of late with 2 wins, 2 losses and a draw in their last 5.
Digging deeper into Chelsea’s goal stats at Stamford Bridge they played 9 matches and 4 of those 9 games have delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers. Beware though the last 5 matches played at Stamford Bridge have had 2 goals or less in them.
FULHAM
Fulham are having a good season and are currently 7th on the log, but they saw a 4 match winning streak ended when they lost to Newcastle 1-0 on the road and that was followed up by a 1-0 home defeat to Tottenham.
Fulham have won 4 and drawn 1 of 10 away matches this season, winning 3 of their last 5 on the road and 70% of Fulham away matches would have delivered you profits had you backed over 2.5 goals. Their last two away games though have also been good for unders backers.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
These sides met earlier in the season with Fulham winning 2-1 at home. Last season Chelsea did the double over Fulham and won this fixture 2-0. That was the third successive time Chelsea have beaten Fulham 2-0 at home.

Chelsea 5/8
Draw 3/1
Fulham 9/2
With both of these sides struggling for form and goals, I think we could get a low scoring encounter here.
Suggested Bet: Under 2.5 goals at 9/10
I think Fulham are quite capable of getting something out of this game and perhaps even 3 points, but for those who believe in backing trends the 2-0 Chelsea score line is 6/1 to arrive for the 4th successive home meeting against Fulham.
