What Are the Chances Of Draws In Derby Matches?

3y ago

In something of a bind, Chelsea are struggling to get any form of consistency about their game. Walking a tightrope, Lampard’s men are winless in their last three games on the bounce – an embarrassing run that has seen them plummet to ninth-place on the log.

Meanwhile, Fulham remain in the relegation places with only 12 points picked up from their 16 matches so far. In truth, the Cottagers have been pretty decent this term, and are deserving of some of the plaudits coming their way. They will be looking to stage an upset in this upcoming all-London affair.

Fulham vs Chelsea Team News

Following their promotion to the Premier League, Fulham will feel they have now returned to where they truly belong – contending with England’s top guns. At this top level of football, there is no room for beers and skittles, and the Cottagers are well aware.

Despite turning in some impressive performances this season, Fulham sit 18^th on the standings, two points deep in relegation waters. But with two games-in-hand, Parker’s men know there isn’t any need for panic, at least, for now.

Though they have proven very difficult to beat, the Whites cannot seem to grab a single win to save their lives. Embarrassingly, they are without a win in their previous six games – each of these fixtures ending in stalemates.

All too accustomed to draws lately, Fulham headed to North London to take on Tottenham in midweek, hoping to cause another huge upset. After Kane had fired Spurs ahead, the Cottagers’ Cavaleiro headed the ball home in the second-half to squeeze out a share of the spoils for his side.

Chelsea, on the other hand, were last seen in action in a third-round FA Cup tie against minnows Morecambe. Overwhelming favorites ahead of kickoff, the Blues lived up to the billing to post a routine 4-0 win on the board.

Now, they must switch focus to the domestic league to attempt arresting their recent slump. With only one win from their previous six games, Chelsea have dropped down the table, and almost out of the picture for title-contention.

With morale really low in the Pensioner’s camp, they will be looking to lift their spirits. And what better way to do that than getting one over a crosstown rival in Fulham. Knowing how tricky the Cottagers can be, Lampard will be spurring his boys on to deliver a strong performance here.

Fulham vs Chelsea Predictions

Though Fulham are currently on a six-game unbeaten run, it is worth noting that they failed to win any of these matches. In that time, Parker’s men have caused a few upsets, stealing points from the likes of Liverpool, Southampton and Tottenham.

Now, another top team in Chelsea is coming around town, and the Cottagers will fancy their chances of upstaging these heavyweights. The Blues may be desperate for a win here, but we cannot quite trust them to deliver all three points. Expect no more than two goals registered in this fixture.
