Fulham vs Chelsea: Premier League betting tips, odds & predictions

As the latest London derby between Fulham and Chelsea rolls around, Ladbrokes is backing both teams to score for the third time in four meetings, with neither defence proving overly convincing in recent weeks.

Chelsea's run of four league games without a clean sheet will be of some concern, and with Fulham recently conceding five to Man City, the Cottagers' defence is hardly unbeatable either - which suggests a few goals could be on the cards. Both teams are somewhat top-heavy with their talent, so attacks could easily come out on top in a battle between two sides who are separated by just three points before kick-off.

The likes of Joao Pedro and Raul Jimenez are in for enjoyable evenings, and with that in mind, we're tipping BTTS.

In what has been a decent first half of the season for Fulham, Harry Wilson has stood out as the star performer for Marco Silva's side, and we're backing him to test another defence with at least one shot on target against Chelsea on Wednesday night.

The winger is averaging just under one shot on target per 90 in this season's Premier League, and with Chelsea potentially visiting without first-choice goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, the Welshman is sure to try his luck at Craven Cottage. An excellent strike against Liverpool at the weekend will have Wilson's confidence at an all-time high, and coming up against a team who haven't won in four, he'll more than fancy his chances of testing whichever keeper is in between the sticks for Chelsea.

Whoever starts at full back for the visitors will also have a tough time trying to keep Wilson off his left foot, and if he gets a yard, we're backing the Fulham man to hit the target.

The middle of the park will host an interesting battle on Wednesday night, with Moises Caicedo back in the mix for Chelsea and Sasa Lukic performing well for Fulham - but we're expecting the latter to pick up a booking in a full-blooded affair.

This London derby often sees multiple yellow cards, with at least four bookings in each of the last seven meetings, and with Lukic finding himself in the thick of the midfield action, we're tipping him to overstep the mark. The Serbian was booked in the reverse fixture back in August, and coming up against such a combative Chelsea midfield, the stage seems set for the Fulham man to pick up his sixth card of the season.

Rounding off our Fulham vs Chelsea betting tips and predictions, we're backing the Blues to come away from Craven Cottage with all three points for the third time in a row, with Fulham's four-game unbeaten streak coming to an end.

Chelsea's last-gasp equaliser at Man City on Sunday showed they can still compete with the league's very best despite uncertainties behind the scenes seeing Enzo Maresca lose his job, and while they've only won one of their last eight Premier League games, they should have too much attacking quality for Fulham. The hosts have had a decent start to the year with draws against Crystal Palace and Liverpool, but having failed to pick up a single point at home to Chelsea since January 2023, we think history could repeat itself.

This should be an excellent watch, with both teams still certainly having aspirations of Europe, but we're expecting Chelsea to come out on top.
