Chelsea
Chelsea are currently 3rd in Premier League, record of W3 D1 L1, most recent match against Manchester United, a loss with 1-3. An interesting thing to know is Chelsea has been able to progress both times, when they have been drawn against a West London team. Chelsea has never lost a game to Fulham on Stamford Bridge in the past 9 years, recording 7 victories and 3 draw games. Despite the hard game this weekend, the strongest squad is expected to show up.
Fulham
Fulham is still without a victory in Premier League, recording 3 draws and 2 losses. The team managed to tie the match against Manchester City this weekend after being down 0:2 on half time. Fulham was ranked 5th last season, for best defense, but was also the team that tied the most games (16). The team also struggles in Carling Cup matches against Premier League clubs. Cottagers have lost the last five meetings in the Cup against such teams and have the misfortune to be visiting Stamford Bridge, a stadium where they recorded 3 losses in the past 3 fixtures.

06/03/2002 Premier League Chelsea vs. Fulham 3:2
No victories for Cottagers here, losing 7 and drawing 3. The draw in this match would be a very profitable outcome priced at 4/1 by bet365.
Fernando Torres had his best game since he set foot on Stamford Bridge, this weekend against United, despite the loss and his incredible miss. He is priced to score at anytime at 4/5 by bet365, a bet that seems worth putting down.
I believe Andres Villas Boas and his main squad still need playtime, so Chelsea will come out here with every starter they’ve got. Seven out of the 10 games here has ended with a result Over 2.5 Goals, odds of 4/7 by bet365.
While I believe Chelsea would win this match, the odds are quite low at 1/3 by bet365. My prediction Over 2.5 Goals a bet, I think is more profitable than the home victory.
