Fulham v Chelsea Betting Tips [20 April 2025]

Sixth-placed Chelsea will return to Premier League action this Sunday after advancing to the Conference League semis in midweek. The Blues will be traveling to ninth-placed Fulham in a London derby on the 33rd week of league action. We have the match prediction below.

Fulham have had a tough run in the past weeks and will hope for some reprieve this time. The Cottagers are coming off a 1-0 defeat at Bournemouth, failing to build on their shock win over Liverpool earlier.

They have now suffered three defeats in the last four matches across all competitions.

Chelsea suffered a home defeat in the reverse fixture, losing 2-1, and they’ll be looking to avenge the defeat. The Blues are under immense pressure coming into this game as outsiders in the top-five race.

Winning only once in their last four league matches has dented their hopes for a Champions League return. In their latest league outing, Enzo Maresca’s side had to come from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with relegation-threatened Ipswich Town.

They would then switch to Europe, where they suffered a 2-1 home loss against Legia Warsaw in the return leg of their Conference League quarter-final. Here Chelsea come searching for a first away win in nine league matches.

A number of times this season, Chelsea have shown vulnerability when returning from Europe. On five such occasions they drew or lost the league match that followed. With a tough away match against Fulham coming up, the Blues could experience this again.

That, and their poor away run in the league, isn't a great combination. Fulham have done well in their recent home matches but have lacked consistency. They still come here as favorites. Our prediction for Fulham v Chelsea will be a double chance: Fulham or draw.
