Reason for West Ham vs Chelsea Predictions
West Ham doesn’t have a good season. They are only one point above the relegation zone. Still, West Ham improved recently, as they lost only one of the last six matches in all competitions. In the previous game, they played 1-1 on the road against Newcastle. The home side was slightly better, but West Ham defended well, so they picked up a valuable point. West Ham has had a good defense lately. They allowed only two goals in the last five matches. Also, every one of those five games went under 2.5 goals. Declan Rice has excellent ball control, he can play in several positions, and every team needs such a player. Pablo Fornals is a great player, he creates a lot of problems for his opponents, and the greatest virtue of this guy is speed. After a draw against Newcastle, West Ham’s head coach David Moyes was very pleased. He said that performance was maybe the best for West Ham this season. Moyes was delighted with the defense.
Chelsea has big problems this season. They collected only 30 points from 21 matches, so Chelsea is ten points behind the Champions League spots. Also, they won only one of the last seven matches. In the previous game, they played 0-0 at home against Fulham. That was a match with few good goal-scoring opportunities, so it is no wonder it finished with a goalless draw. Chelsea has been playing extremely low-scoring matches recently. In the last three games, their goal difference is 1:0. Kai Havertz plays fantastically and creates a lot of problems for the opponent’s defense. Many clubs are ready to give a fortune for the arrival of this guy. Chelsea can’t find any rhythm this season. They changed the head coach and signed many new players, but nothing changed. After a draw against Fulham, the head coach Graham Potter said they need more time to incorporate everyone and get some connection, fluidity, and confidence. Armando Broja, Christian Pulisic, N’Golo Kante, and Edouard Mendy are injured and will not play on Saturday afternoon against West Ham. Also, Mateo Kovacic, Denis Zakaria, and Wesley Fofana are questionable.
Conclusion
It is going to be an exciting clash, as West Ham is not without a chance of remaining undefeated. However, we believe Chelsea should meet the expectations and deliver a win.
We can expect a big fight between these two teams, and both of them should be able to score. One thing is for sure – football fans should enjoy this game.
