West Ham vs Chelsea Predictions
According to our prediction, we have studied the conditions for the upcoming match by including factors like injuries, suspensions, current forms, and other relevant information that can influence betting outcomes.
Both sides have had a poor start, especially with Julen Lopetegui as the manager for the West Ham who has overseen only one win from the first four League competitions after replacing David Moyes in a dugout. The 58-YO spent around £155 million in the summer window while the former manager, Wolves, was feeling the heat.
Chelsea has also come under new management with Enzo Maresca, who has made a lukewarm entry during the Stamford Bridge dugout. Winning against Bournemouth has helped ease the pressure and that particular win was the fourth consecutive away win for Chelsea in the Premier League.
The upcoming match could be exciting with the Blues, keeping only one clean sheet in the previous 18 away League games. Considering that, we are predicting the Blues to claim the narrow win and secure goals for both ends. Our Chelsea vs West Ham prediction is 1-2
