Betting on Fulham F.C.
Being newly promoted to the Premier League, Fulham’s battle to climb into the top five of the standings may come as a surprise; however, this is unquestionably a good thing because the team is signaling that it has no intention of endangering their status in the division once more.
They currently have three consecutive league wins, having beaten Crystal Palace, Southampton and Leicester City, three teams in lower positions in the overall standings. Fulham has 28 points and is in seventh place after eight wins, four draws and six defeats.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1):Bernd Leno, Kenny Tete, Tosin Adarabioyo, Tim Ream, Antonee Robinson, Harrison Reed, Joao Palhinha, Bobby Reid, Andreas Pereira, Willian Borges, Aleksandar Mitrovic.
Betting on Chelsea F.C.
This season, Chelsea didn’t get off to a strong start, and the issues have persisted: they are unable to maintain consistency as a club. They have seven victories, four ties, and six losses after 17 Premier League games for a total of 25 points, and currently hold the tenth spot after these results.
The Blues’ fans were used to seeing them competing for the top spots, but that is not the case right now. As they had previously drawn 1-1 with Nottingham Forest, now they have two games without winning, since their most recent Premier League game ended in a loss by a score of 0-1 to Manchester City.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Kepa Arrizabalaga, Trevoh Chalobah, Bashir Humphreys, Kalidou Koulibaly, Lewis Hall, Conor Gallagher, Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic, Hakim Ziyech, Kai Havertz, Mason Mount.
JefeBet Prediction
Fulham will be up against a significant test as they attempt to break the Blues‘ dominance in head-to-head competition, as Chelsea has not lost to them since 2006. It appears that a rematch is highly likely, and we can anticipate a victory for the home team given the current level of performance of these squads.
Prediction: Fulham win 2-1.
