More tips for Fulham vs Chelsea
In addition to the main prediction, see other betting markets for Fulham vs Chelsea in the Premier League:
Our prediction is: Chelsea win or draw
Chelsea has been a thorn in the side of many teams of late, and even away from home, they are quite a dangerous opponent for anyone. So as they travel to face Fulham, our betting tip is Chelsea win or draw on the Double Chance market, which means they can either win or draw for the bet to win.
It would honestly not be that big of a surprise if Chelsea emerged victorious against Fulham given the quality they've shown, but claiming a point is a much more realistic goal.
Our prediction is: Both teams to score
The match between Fulham and Chelsea has all the necessary ingredients for plenty of goals. And of course: for both sides - and that's the focus of our bet here.
Therefore, we believe that the Both Teams to Score market is the best recommendation here, as the attacks are working well and, on some occasions, the defenses have been making mistakes.
That's why we're going with BTTS.
Correct score prediction for Fulham vs Chelsea
Two very well-drilled defences and the visitors as favourites in the odds. A low-scoring match with a win for Chelsea. Probable score: Fulham 0-1 Chelsea. The correct result is the market with the highest variance. Bet with awareness.
