West Ham United vs. Chelsea Betting Preview

West Ham United

Moyes has done a terrific job at the London Stadium in recent years, guiding the Hammers into Europe via the league route for two seasons running. The Irons have impressed in this season’s UEFA Europa Conference League, winning every match to book their place in the last 16.

However, they have struggled domestically this term, spending most of the campaign around the bottom three. West Ham is in a relegation scrap, but the east London side has more than enough quality in their ranks to survive.

West Ham picked up a massive three points in their last home league fixture, seeing off fellow strugglers Everton by two goals to zero. They followed that up with an excellent 1-1 away draw with in-form Newcastle United.

West Ham still has plenty of work to do in terms of ensuring Premier League survival, but the Hammers have moved four points away from the bottom after the recent upswing in results.

The Irons will want to keep their positive run going with a good result against their rivals this weekend. Below you will find our West Ham vs Chelsea prediction and the latest EPL picks.

Chelsea

Chelsea has had a tough 2022-23 season so far. The famous Thomas Tuchel was sacked and replaced by Graham Potter in September. The former Brighton & Hove Albion boss made a strong start, but the Blues have gone well off the boil in recent months.

Chelsea look is likely to miss out on the top four altogether. They are languishing in the ninth spot right now, collecting just 30 points from 21 league games. The Blues have won eight, drawn six, and lost seven. Fourth-place Newcastle is ten points ahead.

Chelsea makes the short trip to the London Stadium having won just two of their last 12 Premier League matches. During that run, the Blues have lost five times, suffering defeats against Brighton, Arsenal, Newcastle, Manchester City, and Fulham.

Over the years, Chelsea has been one of the best away teams in the Premier League, but that has not been the case this term. Incredibly, Potter’s side is looking for their first away victory in the league since a 2-0 success at Aston Villa back in mid-October.

Chelsea needs to start putting points on the board, and three points at the home of their rivals on Saturday could kick-start a revival. Our Chelsea picks are below.

West Ham United vs. Chelsea Betting Picks

These two London clubs played out an entertaining game when they met at Stamford Bridge back in September. The Blues edged it thanks to late goals from Ben Chilwell and Kai Havertz, but the Hammers more than played their part.

West Ham won a five-goal thriller in the last meeting at the London Stadium, and the last four West Ham vs Chelsea games have been settled by the solitary goal.

This will no doubt be another tight and tense affair between the rivals. We are backing the draw and under 2.5 goals at +300. Also, take a punt on the tie at half-time and full-time at top soccer betting odds of +400.
