Chelsea vs Fulham Match Analysis
In the upcoming West London derby, Chelsea enters the match as strong favorites against Fulham, having established a remarkable record at Stamford Bridge. The Blues have triumphed in their last ten encounters against Fulham at home, showcasing their historical dominance in this fixture with just two losses in their last 34 Premier League meetings. This impressive statistic highlights Chelsea’s superiority in local derbies. However, despite their favorable position, Chelsea’s recent form has been somewhat inconsistent. They have managed to secure victories in 60% of their last five games; however, their attacking prowess has not been at its peak, averaging just over one goal per game. This inconsistency may pose challenges as they face a rival team that, while struggling, could seize any opportunity.
On the other hand, Fulham has had a tough time, particularly in away fixtures, and they have not managed to win at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League. Their struggles are compounded by a concerning statistic; they have not scored at Chelsea since 2011, extending their goalless run at the venue to over 660 minutes. Currently, Fulham sits mid-table and finds it difficult to compete against top-tier teams, especially on the road, raising questions about their ability to break this troubling trend in such a crucial derby match.
