More than 2 weeks ago, Chelsea and Fulham faced each other in the round 7 match. That day, the Blues were rated higher than the opponent, but had to receive a humiliating defeat with a score of 1-2. Not only that, their rookie - Joao Felix also had to leave the field soon after the red card in the 58th minute.
It is this penalty card that makes the Portuguese star unable to play in the matches against Crystal Palace, Liverpool and the rematch Fulham tomorrow morning. It is worth mentioning that, in addition to Felix, Chelsea also lost nearly a dozen other players to injuries.
The list includes Zakaria, James, Fofana, Kante, Bjora, Loftus-Cheek, Chilwell, Sterling, Mendy and Pulisic. With the squad lacking before and after Chelsea, it is difficult to successfully collect the debt of the team in the same city.
Remember, Fulham has played quite well recently, as shown by winning the last 5/8 matches. Away from home, the white shirt team lost 1 win 3 in the last 4 matches. One more detail not to be missed, Fulham are unbeaten in Asia in the last 4 away matches, with a handicap of 1 goal or more.
Asian ratio (0:1): Fulham is very reliable away from home, shown by the fact that they have brought joy to investors in the past 6 matches. Meanwhile, Chelsea won 2 but lost 4 in the last 6 home matches (in terms of rafters).
O/U ratio (2 1/2): Chelsea only scored 3 goals in the last 6 matches, ie an average of 0.5 times each match. On the opposite side, Fulham kept a clean sheet in 3 of the last 4 away matches. Statistics also show that, in the last 7 confrontations on the field of Chelsea, all of them did not reach 3 goals.
