Chelsea West Ham United betting prediction

The home team is currently in the 4^th position of the league, with 26 points won, after 8 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Crystal Palace, by (2‑0). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Manchester City, by (2‑1). Interestingly enough, this is a team that has had better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 15 points in away matches and only 11 at their stadium. In their last match, for the UEFA Champions League, they got an away tie against Valencia by (2‑2). In the last 6 home league matches Chelsea has a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 11 points out of 18 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 11 of the last 13 matches for the Premier League, they have reached half‑time in front in 6 of those 11 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 8 of them.

Chelsea comes for this match after an away 2-2 draw against Valencia on Champions League ground. The Blues usually play in a 4-3-3 tactical system, favoring quick transitions, especially through the flanks, with the three forward men being Pulisic, Abraham and Willian. In any case, the home team can also play soccer in ball possession, progressing on the pitch through short passes. One of the great strengths of the home team is how effectively they can defend dead balls. Coach Frank Lampard is unlikely to be able to count on Hudson-Odoi, Barkley, Rudiger and Loftus-Cheek due to injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Kepa Arrizabalaga, Kurt Zouma, Fikayo Tomori, Reece James, Emerson, Mateo Kovačić, Christian Pulišić, Mason Mount, Jorginho, Pedro, Olivier Giroud.
Coach: M. Pochettino Trossero.
