- Competition: Premier League
- Date: 20th April, 2025
- Kickoff: 14:00 UK / 15:00 CEST
- Venue: Craven Cottage
Chelsea can still harbour hopes of playing in the Champions League next season, as they are currently just one point off a qualifying place. However, they must win against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday to avoid relegation from the hot zone.
The visitors had a European clash in midweek when they faced Legia Warsaw in the second leg of their UEFA Conference League quarter-final. Despite the unexpected 2-1 defeat against the Polish side, the Blues still progressed to the semi-finals after a convincing victory in the first leg.
Fulham, on the other hand, suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth in the last round of the Premier League, which somewhat diminished their hopes of qualifying for European competition next season.
Fulham - Chelsea Betting Tips: Both Teams to Score
Chelsea are still in the race for next season’s Champions League places and are currently just one point behind fifth-placed Manchester City. The Blues are unbeaten in their last three Premier League games (one win and two draws) and have lost just once in their last six league matches. That suggests they will score at Craven Cottage, although their away record in the league is worrying: Chelsea have not won away from home in their last eight games.
Fulham, on the other hand, have won their last two home games against strong opposition - beating Tottenham and Liverpool. They also took all three points in their first meeting with Chelsea at the start of the season, beating them 2-1.
All in all, we expect both teams to score, even if Chelsea have not exactly covered themselves in glory away from home recently and have not won any of their last eight games. Enzo Maresca’s men will do everything in their power to get at least a point in this game, as the Champions League is at stake.
