West Ham vs Chelsea Prediction
West Ham Form
In the last three outings, West Ham beat Bournemouth by 1-0, lost 1-3 against Manchester City, before drawing 1-1 with Fulham. West Ham only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at London Stadium in the Premier League. They also drew two and lost three of these six encounters, in which they scored eight and conceded 11 goals.
While a title race is perhaps a too optimistic a longthrow, a podium finish does not look beyong Chelsea, should they manage to catch a strong momentum.
Chelsea Form
Chelsea have a single win and a draw to show from their past three matches. First, they went down 2-1 against Servette FC, before picking up a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace. Their latest match brought a 0-1 win in their encounter with Bournemouth. Chelsea won four times in their last six away games in the Premier League, in which they drew once and lost once. They conceded 12 goals while scoring 14 themselves.
Chelsea go into a new season as candidates for the podium, but will count themselves lucky to achieve more than a third place.
Form favours Chelsea for the win a little more than prices with the bookmakers suggests. Even playing on home soil, the bookmakers have placed a little too much faith in West Ham, and we aim for the away win.
