Chelsea vs West Ham Live Stats & Betting Odds
Chelsea Prediction – Can Chelsea bounce back at home?
After a 2-1 defeat away from home at Manchester City in the Premier League and a 2-2 draw at Valencia, Chelsea will be keen to return to Stamford Bridge and winning ways as they look to maintain their challenge for a top four finish under manager, Frank Lampard.
Nevertheless, even after these two disappointing results, the goals still continued to flow with both matches achieving over the 2.5 goals mark and indeed, 6 of Chelsea’s last 7 matches in all competitions have resulted in 3 goals or more being scored.
This Saturday sees a return to Premier League action then for The Blues who possess a pretty good home record of 3-2-1 9/5 which includes winning their last 3 home matches on the trot with victories over Brighton, Newcastle United and Crystal Palace, so the hosts will be keen to make it four on the trot this afternooon.
In addition, Chelsea are unbeaten in their last 14 matches at home against West Ham and although striker Abraham (10 goals) has been ruled out, the likes of Pulisic (5 goals) and Mount (4 goals) along with Batshuayi and Giroud, should ensure the hosts have too much firepower for West Ham here.
West Ham Prediction – Can West Ham kick-start season?
It all seemed to be going so well at West Ham as the visitors had put together a 6-match unbeaten sequence under manager Manuel Pellegrini with The Hammers seemingly on course for top half occupancy in the Premier League, but the wheels have well and truly fallen off since then.
Wins against Watford, Norwich City and Manchester United promised a brighter season for West Ham but a subsequent run of 7 matches without a win in the top flight means that defeat at Chelsea could signal the end of Pellegrini’s tenure at the London Stadium.
Recent defeats to Crystal Palace, Everton, Newcastle United, Burnley and Tottenham mean that the visitors have lost 5 of their last 6 matches overall which has left West Ham precariously close to the relegation zone, sitting just one league position and three points above third from bottom club, Norwich City.
West Ham possess an away record of 1-3-2 6/9 and includes the visitors being without an away win from their last 4 matches on their travels, while a poor record at Stamford Bridge makes this a very tough task for Pellegrini & co.
