Fulham ended their long wait for a win over Chelsea when the pair met at Craven Cottage last month. The Blues have dominated this fixture in recent years, but the Cottagers deserved their 2-1 win. Former Chelsea man Willian netted, and Carlos Vinicius got the winner.

When the neighbors last went head-to-head at Stamford Bridge, two goals from Kai Havertz gave Chelsea a comfortable 2-0 home win back in May 2021. 

Fulham have not won at Chelsea’s home since a 2-0 victory in an old Division Two matchup way back in October 1979. Can they end that run on Friday? Our Chelsea vs Fulham prediction is below. 

Chelsea vs. Fulham Analysis

The Fall from Grace: Chelsea’s Uphill Battle in the Current Season

Chelsea have had a tough season on the pitch. Last term, they reached both domestic cup finals, won the FIFA Club World Cup, and finished in the top four of the Premier League. They are out of both cups and look likely to miss out on the UEFA Champions League spots this year.

Thomas Tuchel was harshly sacked in September, with Potter taking over at Stamford Bridge shortly after. The ex-Brighton & Hove Albion manager made a strong start, but things went rapidly downhill for Potter and Chelsea very quickly.

Since winning four Premier League games on the trot from September to October, Chelsea have picked up just two league wins from their following 11. Along the way, they have suffered five defeats. As a result, the Londoners have slipped down to mid-table and look likely to miss out on the top four.

Despite the gloom on the pitch, Chelsea have splashed the cash this winter. Since Todd Boehly took over, the London club have spent more money than all teams in Europe’s top five leagues combined.

After the big-money signing of Mykhailo Mudryk a few weeks back, Chelsea broke the British transfer record by bringing in Argentina FIFA World Cup star Enzo Fernandez from Benfica on the final day of the window. Will the pair make an instant impact on the field?

Fulham’s Resurgence: From Relegation Candidates to European Hopefuls

As for Fulham, they are having an excellent first season back in the top flight. In recent years, the Cottagers have suffered instant relegations back to the Championship, but they are in no danger of going down this season.

In fact, Fulham will have eyes on European places. They have lost their last two in the Premier League, but the Whites are riding high in seventh with 31 points to their name. Overall, they have won nine, drawn four and lost eight.

Fulham heads into this west London derby sitting two points and three places above Chelsea. If they can do the league double on Friday, the Cottagers will open a five-point gap and will move into sixth, just five points off the final Champions League place.

There are always a ton of betting markets available in today’s soccer matches, with the Premier League being one of the biggest leagues to bet on in the world. Keep reading for our EPL picks and Chelsea vs Fulham prediction.

Chelsea vs. Fulham Betting Pick and Prediction

Despite being below their rivals in the current Premier League standings, Chelsea head into this home fixture as the clear favorites with the bookies. The big-spending Blues will be out for revenge after their narrow defeat at Craven Cottage last month.

Fulham are having a memorable season, but Marco Silva’s men have lost their last two in the league to Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur. They also failed to beat Championship side Sunderland in the FA Cup last weekend.

Chelsea should make home advantage count, and we like the look of +150 for the home team to be winning at half-time and full-timesoccer betting odds of +333 for Chelsea to win both halves.
