In the 24th round of the Premier League on January 31, Chelsea and West Ham will meet in the London derby. The aristocrats were stronger in the four previous face-to-face battles, and they won three times with a difference of more than one goal, will they be able to win today? We suggest you read our betting tip and choose reliable bets on the game
Command Analysis
Chelsea
Current form
The resignation of Enzo Maresca had a positive impact on Chelsea's results. Under the leadership of Liam Rosenor, we managed to win five of the six matches played. Even taking into account the fact that not all competitors are of a high level, the result deserves respect. In the Premier League, the aristocrats beat rivals from London, Brentford (2:0) and Crystal Palace (3:1) in the previous two rounds, thanks to which they retain the fourth place and are only one point behind the fourth Manchester United. In the Champions League last week, Chelsea beat Napoli 3-2 in a difficult away match and got a ticket to the 1/8 finals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Colville, Lavia, Adarabioyo, Essugo will miss the game due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
In three of the last four matches, Chelsea have won in the first half.
Goal exchanges have been recorded in three of Chelsea's last five games.
West Ham scored two consecutive wins for the first time in a long time and made it clear that they would fight to the last for a place in the Premier League. The Hammers first beat Tottenham (2:1), and then coped with Sunderland (3:1). It was not possible to leave the relegation zone, but the gap from the saving 17th place is five points. It should be noted that West Ham have played 11 matches on the road since the beginning of the season, in which they scored only two victories, the result is not impressive.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fabianski is the only one injured and will not play in the match today.
Interesting betting trends
In five consecutive matches with West Ham in the Premier League, at least three goals were scored.
In five of the seven previous away matches of the Hammers in the Premier League, there was an exchange of goals scored.
Approximate composition: Areola – Van Bissaka, Mavropanos, Todibo, Scarles – Bowen, Soucek, Fernandes, Summerville – Pablo Castellanos.
Chelsea has made tangible progress under Rosenor's leadership, is now on a four-game winning streak, and has consistently hit opponents' goals at least twice. West Ham also played two successful matches, but today they have to play against an uncomfortable opponent, who, moreover, is also on a decent rise now. In the last four face-to-face meetings, the aristocrats invariably won, which we expect from them today.
Our prediction is that Chelsea will win with an Asian handicap (-1) for a coefficient of 1.80
Chelsea have no problems creating and executing chances right now, as evidenced by the nine goals they have scored in the last four matches. West Ham have also noticeably improved in attack and are quite capable of responding with their goals. There is a high probability that the opponents will exchange goals scored today.
The second bet is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.67
Betting on corners
In face-to-face meetings lately, Chelsea has been regularly distinguished by a large number of corners. So, in 9 out of 12 full-time matches in the Premier League, the aristocrats performed at least seven corners on their field, which we expect from them today.
Prediction – Chelsea's total corners are over 6.5 with a coefficient of 1.58
xG (from English "expected goals" translates as "expected goals") is the sum of the probabilities of scoring chances, a mathematical value calculated taking into account the parameters of potential scoring chances, which include shots on goal and dangerous moments without finishing shots.
