Stamford Bridge

Chelsea are set to do battle with West Ham United in the Premier League on Sunday at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea out of nowhere have come into the Europa League contention after they ran good results. Chelsea have taken advantage of all the teams above them slipping up. They are now just 3 points off 6thplace that would get them a Europa League place. They solidified that with an impressive win against Tottenham Hotspur in their last game. Chalobah did very well to remain unmarked and scored a brilliant header off a Gallagher cross. Jackson had thought he opened the scoring before that only for the goal to be ruled out as offside. Chelsea did not allow the Spurs to get into the game as they were on the front foot in most cases. They got their 2nd goal cushion after Palmer crashed his free kick onto the post. The rebound fell straight onto the head of Jackson who leaped over two Spurs players to head it into an open net.

West Ham United on the other hand have dropped as low as 9th in the Premier League table. They are 2 points behind Chelsea however they have played a game more than them. A win in this game would see West Ham pip the Blues for the time being in the League. West Ham were decent in their last game against Liverpool. Jarrod Bowen scored a clinical header from a cross from Kudus to put them ahead. Liverpool then equalised through Robertson and then took the lead through Gakpo. However, the Hammers showed good resilience to come back as Antonio scored a blasting header to share the spoils on the day.

Chelsea vs West Ham United Chance of Winning

The recent head-to-head record between these two teams singlehandedly favours the team that are residents of Stamford Bridge and the competition is not even close. In the last 32 encounters between these two sides in all competitions, Chelsea has won 17 encounters; 7 games have ended in a draw with West Ham United winning just 8 times.

Chelsea have been solid when they have played at home recently. They have stopped dropping unnecessary points and luck is also factoring in their aid at the right time this season. Chelsea last lost at home way back in February against Wolves. Since then they have not looked back and have been very consistent. Players like Gallagher and Caicedo have stepped up in recent games aiding Cole Palmer. If Chelsea can take the confidence and keep parrying it to the next game then we can see them ending the season on a high.

West Ham does have a chance of getting something here. They have the attack to damage Chelsea and they are good at something that Chelsea particularly are not good at and that is set pieces. West Ham can hurt them there. If Chelsea can deal with that threat then it's more points to their chance of winning.

Chelsea vs West Ham United Predictions and Betting Tips

Most of the oddsmakers and betting websites have easily backed Chelsea over West Ham United in the game on Sunday at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea does go into this game with really good home form as they have won each of their last 2 games at the Bridge. Chelsea have beaten the likes of Everton and Tottenham and hence have considerable backing of the bookies. West Ham on the other hand have been shaky overall but come into this on the back of a draw against Liverpool. The Blues go into this game at home with confidence and that is after a long time. Chelsea have failed to be consistent at home this season but recently their record has been really solid. The Blues have won 53% of them at Stamford Bridge until now.

Chelsea at the start of the season was struggling to score goals and that was costing them games. However, that has now changed with them being more prolific in front of goal. Pochettino’s men average 2.18 goals which has constantly been on an upward trajectory. West Ham on the other hand does tend to do better playing on the road in comparison to when they play at home. The Hammers have a 41% win rate away from the London Stadium this season. David Moyes’ men have scored 1.65 goals on average away from their home ground this season.

Based on the numbers above, these are our following tips and predictions for this game. We expect both Chelsea and West Ham to score in this game. Our call is for Chelsea to get 2 goals or more considering West Ham conceded 2.24 goals on average this season. We also see West Ham scoring in this game. Chelsea have not conceded a goal at home in any of their last 2 games but we can see West Ham scoring here. The Hammers have failed to score in 18% of their away games this season hence we do not see them failing to score here. Chelsea has a clean sheet record of just 29% thanks to their 2 successive clean sheets. We do back Antonio and Bowen to cause Chelsea problems in set plays.

When it comes to scoring first, Chelsea goes into this game having a slightly better record of breaking the deadlock in comparison to West Ham. The Blues this season have scored first in 50% of their games this season with 17 from 34. David Moyes’s Hammers meanwhile has got the opening goal in 46% of their games with 16 from 35 games. Chelsea have scored the opening goal in each of their last 10 games at home and hence we expect them to continue that trend and also score first in this game against West Ham.

In terms of scoring for Chelsea, the favourite in this game has to be Cole Palmer. He however has not scored in any of his last 2 games for Chelsea which is quite surprising. He should have had a goal in the last game as his free kick hit the post. His assist tally is also off the charts as he has assisted a goal against 13 teams already in the Premier League this season. He missed out in the reverse tie to face West Ham but if he does get an assist on Sunday then he will become only the 6th player in the Premier League to assist against 14 different clubs.

For West Ham United we have to back one of Michail Antonio or Jarrod Bowen to score on Sunday. Both have been in really good goal-scoring form for their team. Both scored a goal each in their last game against Liverpool. It was the 7th time this season that both of them scored in the same game. We back Antonio in this game slightly because he is good aerially and Chelsea struggles in that aspect.

Final Prediction:Chelsea to beat West Ham United.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Chelsea

The oddsmakers have backed Chelsea to win against West Ham United on Sunday and we do not have any objections to that. Chelsea were at one point looking favourite to finish once again in the bottom half of the table but have turned the tide around and could now be in the hunt for a Europa League spot. Their turn has been unexpected and sudden and much of that has to do with how well they have played at home. They have lost just 1 of their 11 games in the Premier League which has catapulted them high up in the League.

West Ham United now are slowly losing ground in terms of getting a European birth. Failure to convert losses into draws and draws into wins is costing them. The Hammers played well in their last game against Liverpool but can do better. We expect them to give Chelsea a fight in this game but the Blues at home now look very confident. The Tottenham win should give Chelsea some confidence and that is why we back them to win this game on Sunday. Our prediction is a 2-1 Chelsea win.
