Match Analysis

Fulham has shown mixed results in their recent performances, securing a win against West Ham and drawing against Liverpool and Crystal Palace. Their defense seems to be tightening up, with two clean sheets in their last five matches. However, they have been averaging 1.8 goals scored and conceded per game, suggesting a balanced but vulnerable side. Their expected goals metrics reveal they are slightly underperforming in both scoring and defending. Chelsea, on the other hand, is experiencing a challenging phase with no wins in their last three matches, drawing against Man City and Bournemouth, and losing to Aston Villa. Despite their struggles, Chelsea's defense has been relatively solid, conceding an average of 1.2 goals per game, the same as they have scored. Their expected goals statistics indicate they are slightly underperforming in attack but are more vulnerable defensively.

Final Prediction

Chelsea is favored to win due to their higher standing in the league and a more consistent track record in recent matches. Fulham's recent improvement in defense will be put to the test against Chelsea's attacking prowess. A key factor to watch will be whether Chelsea can convert their scoring opportunities, as their expected goals suggest they have room for improvement in front of the goal.
