Fulham - Chelsea match score prediction: The do-or-die derby

Enzo Fernandes dribbles through the Fulham defence

Fulham are often outclassed by Chelsea in London derbies, but last season they won at Stamford Bridge so they have the confidence to win at home too.

Fulham suffered a 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth on Monday night but were unable to turn their dominance into goals in the second half. Raul Jimenez is set to return to the starting line-up, while Reiss Nelson remains sidelined through injury.

Chelsea, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with relegation-threatened Ipswich Town. They also disappointed fans in midweek when they lost 2-1 at home to Legia Warsaw, despite progressing to the next round of the European Cup (due to a 3-0 first-leg win). With both Chelsea and Fulham looking to get back to winning ways in the Premier League, there is a high chance that both sides will score.

The likes of Marc Guiu, Wesley Fofana and Romeo Lavia will miss out through injury for the visitors, but there is hope that Cole Palmer will return to his goalscoring form to help Chelsea through. The Blues are still in contention for a European place and they have plenty of motivation to play a do-or-die match against Fulham, who have no end-of-season motivation.

The initial odds were even and Chelsea was losing money (winning only 82). But this morning it changed to Chelsea accepting half a ball and Fulham was losing money (winning 82).

Fulham are very strong at home, while Chelsea are too weak away. Chelsea's handicap of half a goal seems to encourage people to bet on the underdogs even though they are not focused on this match. It seems that choosing Chelsea is still more meaningful because they are the team with the motivation.

The most popular score is still 1-1 with a 1-to-1 bet of only 7.1, while Chelsea's chance of winning is also very bright with a 1-to-8.8 bet for a score of 1-2, while 0-1 has a bet of 12 to 10, and 0-2 has a bet of up to 12.
