Chelsea vs West Ham. Forecast (3.10) and bets on the English Premier League match

Current form

Chelsea has noticeably slowed down during the season, although there were no obvious prerequisites for this. In the last seven matches in the Premier League, the Londoners have scored one victory over the outsider Wolverhampton (3:1). It is characteristic that during this period the Aristocrats had only one truly top opponent, with whom the team failed the game. We are talking about the defeat in the last round by Manchester City on the road with a score of 1:3. In that meeting, they managed to open an account in the third minute, but then the "townspeople" had a tangible advantage and won the case.

Chelsea is only in sixth place in the standings, but today there is a chance to return to the top 4. Manchester City and Newcastle simultaneously lost their matches in the 24th round, and if they win, the Pensioners will immediately rise to fourth place. Undoubtedly, this moment will add motivation to the players in the upcoming game.

Despite not the most successful stretch of the season, Chelsea allowed themselves only one misfire on their field. Interestingly, it happened in the London derby with Fulham (1-2). There was also a loss of points in the home match with Bournemouth (2:2). Overall, Enzo Maresca's men have scored 19 out of 40 points at Stamford Bridge since the start of the season.

Disqualifications and injuries

Mudrik is still suspended due to a failed doping test. Badyashil, Fofana, Lavia and Slonina will not play today due to injuries. Joao Felix's entry into the field is questionable.

Interesting betting trends

• In the last two matches, Chelsea have been at odds with their rivals in the first half.
• In 15 of Chelsea's last 18 Premier League matches, both teams have scored goals.
• Chelsea have not won in the Premier League in six of the previous eight matches.
• In 9 of the last 12 matches, the Aristocrats have scored more shots on goal than their opponents.

Approximate composition: Jorgensen– James, Colville, Chalobah, Cucurella–Caicedo, Fernandez–Madueke, Palmer, Sancho –Jackson.

Current form

After the appearance of Graham Potter on the coaching bridge, the Hammers have made some progress. They managed to beat Fulham 3-2 in the London Derby on their own field, and took away points from Aston Villa 1-1 on the road. At the same time, Crystal Palace could not do anything against them (0:2). Of course, there was no real breakthrough after the resignation of Julen Lopetegui, but four points scored in three rounds is already good for the team from the bottom of the table.

At the moment, West Ham occupies a modest 15th place in the Premier League with 27 points in the asset. The Londoners are unlikely to face relegation, but it will be difficult to climb even into the top 10 - the gap is eight points. It should be noted that throughout the season, the Hammers have been holding away matches with dignity – they have only four defeats in 11 matches played. More than once, they presented surprises in other people's arenas: they defeated Newcastle (2:0), parted ways with Bournemouth (1:1) and Aston Villa (1:1).

West Ham have noticeable problems in attack, which is due to the loss of key players. Michael Antonio, after the accident, it is not known when he will return to the field at all. Niklas Fullkrug is injured. As such, Graham Potter has practically no opportunities to use various tactical schemes in attack.

Disqualifications and injuries

Fulkrug, Antonio and Todibo will not play today due to injuries. The entry of Bowe, Summerville and Paquette into the field is questionable.

Interesting betting trends

• In three of the last five matches, West Ham have not won in the first half.
• In the previous five away matches in the Premier League, the Hammers scored exactly one goal.
• West Ham players have been offside more often than their opponents in the last five matches.
• In three of the last four matches, West Ham players fouled more often than their opponents.

Approximate composition: Areola – Kilman, Mavropanos, Cresswell – Van Bisaka, Alvarez, Rodriguez, Emerson – Soler, Soucek – Kudus.
