West Ham vs Chelsea prediction

West Ham is set to make a return to Craven Cottage after managing to snatch a dramatic late equalizer against Fulham in their last encounter. Just prior, Julen Lopetegui’s squad had enjoyed a solid victory over Crystal Palace with a score of 2-0, although they stumbled and dropped points against the formidable Man City afterward. Recently, West Ham has faced challenges at this venue, having already lost their previous 2 home games; however, there’s been a silver lining as they’ve avoided defeat in their last 4 H2H encounters with Chelsea at Craven Cottage.

Chelsea have kicked off their season with a solid performance under new coach Enzo Maresca. While their only hiccup came in the first game against Manchester City, they quickly bounced back by securing two wins and a draw in the following matches. The team’s attacking prowess has been on full display, netting an impressive 11 goals over their last five games. Their standout moment so far this season was a thrilling 6-2 victory against Wolves, which remains the season’s biggest win to date. Having lost only 1 of their recent 5 meetings with West Ham, Enzo Maresca’s side should come here with good confidence.

With the way both sides press forward and create chances, there’s often a flurry of near misses. As a result, we anticipate plenty of corners in this matchup due to their relentless attacking play, highlighting just how exciting it is when Chelsea faces off against West Ham.

Statistics West Ham vs Chelsea Prediction

Team news West Ham!
