Chelsea Vs West Ham United Match Prediction: Who will win today’s CHE Vs WHU match?

Chelsea Vs West Ham United Match Prediction: Blues aim for three points as top four hunt continues.

Chelsea will face off West Ham United at Stamford Bridge on Monday night as the top four fight intensifies for Maurizio Sarri’s side. It will not be a cakewalk for the Blues because of the quality available within Manuel Pellegrini’s side despite slightly lacking confidence of late.

The hosts have won four games out of the last five and are in a good form ahead of the last part of the season. Whereas, West Ham United have won only twice in the last five outing which is mounting pressure on the Hammers to deliver good results and finish in the top half of the table.

Chelsea Vs West Ham – What numbers suggest?

The overall numbers suggest that Chelsea have a very thin edge over West Ham United in this fixture, with 49 wins over the Hammers’ 40. It has been the same case over the last ten outing between these two. Chelsea have won four times, tasting defeat thrice and the scoreline was not able to separate on three occasions.

West Ham United do not hold a good record at Stamford Bridge, with their last win coming seventeen years ago under the management of Glenn Roeder. The scorelines have been pretty closer in the last few meetings between these two sides.

Chelsea Vs West Ham – Paper Value

Chelsea have superior individual quality, but the lack of end product at times have let Maurizio Sarri’s side down. It is easier to say that the team is overreliant on their star Eden Hazard, who is the leading the pack in terms of goals and assists for Chelsea this campaign. The Blues defence is not extraordinary and they would need their forwards to come up with their goods to win the game.

West Ham have been struggling currently, but the forward line consisting of Felipe Anderson, Marko Arnautovic, and Roberto Snodgrass have the capability to hurt the opposition on the counter. Midfield has been impressive for the Hammers this campaign. Declan Rice and Mark Noble are providing the license for the forwards to make runs in the offensive areas of the pitch. The game will eventually be decided on the midfield battle.

PREDICTED SCORE: Chelsea 3-1 West Ham United.
