I also think Fulham has the potential to surprise in this match. In fact, if the betting companies had seen Chelsea win guarantee, they wouldn't have given such high odds. Last season's match Fulham won at home, and there could be a similar one again. Chelsea are in very bad form this season and they want to make a breakthrough. Both teams will take the field to win the match. Both teams are having a hard time scoring goals, maybe a bet of under 2.5 goals would be more logical. We can see two teams playing controlled games trying to score a goal and win on the field.
Fulham record is funny, 2 loss 2 win, and draw; while Chelsea has 1 win, 2 draw and 3 loss, another ridiculous number.
In most of the post matches that have been played by Chelsea against Fulham, the FT is always less than or equal to 2, so I agreed with that your under 2.5 but what if Chelsea surprise everyone with with 3 goals to nil or played total of over 2.5, many bookies will lock in money from bettors because most of them don't think Chelsea will return to form any time soon or maybe not with Fulham because even when they were good in performance, they most often lost to them.
I see the betting market is still favoring Chelsea but I believe with many users here that Chelsea will lose again for tomorrow's match. Judging by the quality of the squad, maybe Chelsea is a little better but they still can't find chemistry. Pocchettino still can't find the right composition with Chelsea at the moment. Chelsea have just won against Brighton in the third round of the EFL Cup but that is not enough to prove that Chelsea are in their positive trend.
Exactly my point, Pochettino is piss and frustrated, if he should lose the next match to Fulham, his chance of getting sack is going to move from 50/50 to 70/30 and that 70 is probably of getting sack before the next transfer window while 30 is stay at Chelsea. Chelsea need a tough man like Erik Hag, if not that he is a wisdom man, Chelsea and Manchester United are not so different from each other.
Somehow Brighton are still in good shape, and what transpire in that EFL match was because Brentford didn't react quickly to the offensive match Chelsea switched to in the second half, they scored immediately when they return from the second half and then push pressure in their defense, they were able to hold Brighton for another 40 minutes because even the ball possession, Brighton was far ahead of Chelsea but it is what is, having a goal is the ultimate objective.
