Chelsea – Fulham : Preview & Prediction
Five days from the end of the season, Chelsea, 4th with 3 points ahead of West Ham and 4 units over Liverpool, 5th, has not yet officially validated their place in the Big Four and their next participation in the Champions League. . With 6 successes in the last 6 direct confrontations against Fulham, Chelsea, undefeated against the Cottagers for 15 years, strongly plans to take the 3 points of victory. The Blues have been undefeated for 4 games, thus signing 2 successes in front of Manchester City (1-0) in the FA Cup and West Ham (1-0) in the league and recording 2 draws in front of Brighton (0-0) and in Madrid against the Real (1-1) in the Champions League. Fulham looks very close to a Championship season next season. The Cottagers are disappointing this season and they have gleaned only 1 point from Arsenal (1-1) on April 18 during the last 5 days. Before this point taken at the Emirates Stadium, the 18th remained on 4 failures in a row against Manchester City (0-3), against Leeds (1-2), Aston Villa (3-1) and in front of Wolverhampton (0- 1). A further setback would practically doom the visitors.
Chelsea are 4th and need the 3 points to secure their place in the Big Four.
Fulham is 18th and a very important 7 points behind the first non-relegation.
You have to go back to 2006 to see Fulham’s last victory over the Blues.
Chelsea are on an ongoing streak of 6 on the Cottagers.
Fulham has only taken 1 point in the last 5 days.
This trip to Stamford Bridge should precipitate Fulham a little more towards the English D2. Giroud and his partners should win to consolidate their place in the Big Four.
