Chelsea vs Fulham: Match Prediction - Can Blues Avenge Last Season's Derby Defeat?

Image
  31 August 2025, Stamford Bridge The west London derby between Chelsea and Fulham represents a rivalry based more on geography than balanced results. The Opta supercomputer gives the home side a 59.4% chance of victory in Saturday's encounter. Chelsea's historical dominance The Premier League record speaks clearly - 22 wins for Chelsea against three for Fulham. Of teams that have played the Cottagers more than six times, only Manchester United (2.30) and Arsenal (2.22) have a better points-per-match average than Chelsea (2.14). However, Fulham can draw confidence from last season's rare 2-1 triumph at Stamford Bridge, which ended a 21-game winless streak against Chelsea in all competitions. They have never won consecutive matches at Stamford Bridge, though. Current team form Chelsea started the season similarly to last year - failing to score in a home match (1-1 with Crystal Palace) but then netting five goals away (5-0 West Ham). João Pedro shines with four goals ...

  May 16, 2025   Chelsea FC - Manchester United   Stamford Bridge, London, England On Friday, May 16, 2025, Chelsea will face Manchester United in the English Premier League. The battle between two traditional rivals will offer a clash of teams in completely different form, while matches between these sides have traditionally been evenly matched. Chelsea have won just one of their last 14 Premier League games against Manchester United (8 draws, 5 losses), though it was a 4-3 victory in this exact fixture last season. The Blues have thus had trouble overcoming the Red Devils recently, despite dominating in their last mutual encounter. Manchester United have won just one of their last 11 Premier League away games against Chelsea (5 draws, 5 losses), a 2-0 victory in February 2020 under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The "Red Devils" thus have long-term problems at Stamford Bridge. This is just the second ever Premier League meeting between Chelsea and Manchester United on a Fri...

    Chelsea – Tottenham Hotspur April 3rd, 2025 Chelsea has Tottenham figured out like an open book. The Blues have lost only one of their last 12 Premier League matches against their London rival, winning the last three duels with an impressive score of 10:4. Stamford Bridge has become a nightmare for Spurs, and manager Ange Postecoglou could establish an unflattering record - no Tottenham manager in history has lost his first four league games against Chelsea. Chelsea's historical dominance is stunning. Against no other opponent have the Blues won more matches (36) and scored more goals (120) in the Premier League than against Tottenham. Only three teams in the history of the competition have scored more goals against one specific opponent - Arsenal and Manchester United against Everton and Liverpool against Newcastle (all 124). Tottenham has significant problems with London derbies this season. With just 10 points (3 wins, 1 draw, 5 losses), they are, together with Bre...
