Chelsea vs Fulham – Betting Analysis

Among Chelsea’s 20 shots on goal, 10 were on target. (47′) Kalidou Koulibaly scored. David Coote served as the referee for the game.
Graham Potter, the manager of Chelsea, will be without Christian Pulisic (knee issues), Raheem Sterling (hamstring issue), Edouard Mendy (shoulder issue), Denis Zakaria (hamstring issue), N’Golo Kanté (hamstring issue), and Armando Broja (cruciate ligament rupture). Due to his suspension, Joo Félix is ineligible to compete in this match.
Only one player’s fitness is a concern for Fulham manager Marco Silva out of a group that is largely at full strength. Neeskens Kebano (ruptured Achilles tendon) won’t be participating.
Our hypothesis is that Chelsea will likely maintain control for extended period of time and should be able to capitalize on a number of the opportunities they generate.
While we do believe that Fulham will most likely score here as well, they themselves will not find it simple to score .
