LiontipsWest Ham vs Chelsea. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022-23 English Premier League (February 11, 2023).
Command Analysis
In the last game, West Ham got an important draw against Newcastle (1:1), who are one of the leaders in the Premier League this season. David Moyes hopes that his charges will build on this success and deliver good results which can help them retain their residence in the elite. They are currently hovering above the relegation zone with 19 points from 21 games.
The Hammers lost only one game of the last five. Moreover, a victory over Everton (2:0) allowed them to extend their unbeaten home streak to four matches. On the other hand, Chelsea are a very uncomfortable opponent for West Ham - the Iron Ones lost in 26 of their 45 previous meetings with the Blues.
Today the home team will be without Cornet, Zouma, Kehrer, and Areola.
Chelsea are in terrible form. In the last seven games, Graham Potter's men recorded only one victory. The last two games of Chelsea ended in goalless draws. The club spent a ridiculous amount of over 300 million pounds in January, but so far, the Blues haven't been able to improve their position in the Premier League table.
After 21 rounds of match, Chelsea sit in 9th place with 30 points and 41% of wins. This is their second-worst result at this point of the competition in the 21 century. Potter is under tremendous pressure, much better results are expected of him. In the last outing, Chelsea were held to a draw by Fulham (0:0).
Broja, Zakaria, Mendy, Kovacic, Kante, Fofana, and Pulisic have been ruled out of this game.
