Chelsea vs Fulham Picks on December 26: Bet Blues to Score 3+ Goals

Chelsea didn’t meet expectations last weekend after failing to score against Everton, but the Blues managed to keep their non-losing streak alive. Now, they come in as the online betting favorites (-215) to defeat Fulham, a team that only won one of its last five games.

I expect fireworks at Stamford Bridge because the Blues are the No. 2 scoring team in the EPL while the Cottagers own one of the worst defensive units in the top nine.

Top 2 Picks for Chelsea vs Fulham

1. Chelsea Team Total Over 2.5 (+126)

Yes, Chelsea failed to score against Everton, the team in 15th place. But come on, all teams have the right to have a bad day. However, don’t forget that the match against the Toffees was on the road, and Chelsea has been considerably better at home. And hey, defensive units also deserve some love from time to time!

Before drawing 0-0 against Everton, Chelsea played host to Shamrock Rovers in the UEFA Conference League and won 5-1. As if that weren’t enough, per Chelsea vs Fulham stats, the Blues scored at least one goal in their last 12 home games, including 3+ goals six times.

Cole Palmer leads Chelsea’s attacking unit with 11 goals. Nicolas Jackson is second with nine while Noni Madueke and Enzo Fernandez follow with five and three, respectively. Remember that Fernandez is a defensive midfielder. In other words, we’re talking about a team that always thinks about attacking first.

As expected, Palmer is the favorite to score with a +105 price at BetUS sportsbook. But if you were looking for an underdog, go with Jadon Sancho at +225, who scored in two of the last four EPL games.

You should also remember that Fulham conceded in five of its last six games, including four goals against Wolverhampton, one of the three teams in the relegation zone. Chelsea has scored 10 more goals than the Wolves. Do the math!

Finally, only one of the last 11 meetings between Chelsea and Fulham finished with a goalless draw.

Bet This Pick: Chelsea over 2.5 Goals (+126)

2. Draw-Chelsea for Halftime-Fulltime (+375)

Besides Chelsea drawing 0-0 against Everton, we can’t ignore that four of Fulham’s last five games finished with a draw. In other words, you can expect a good fight from the Cottagers, who are eighth in the standings.

I expect a good fight, especially in the first half, where I also expect both teams to score. By the way, both teams scoring in the first half is offering a +250 price. If I were you, I would take that online bet ASAP!

Let’s continue. Chelsea’s depth will ultimately make the difference. Madueke, Christopher Nkunku, Joao Felix, and Marc Guiu started on the bench on Sunday. Felix and Guiu didn’t even play, but they would all be starters on any other team.

I like Chelsea winning 3-1, offering a +1100 price in the EPL props. On the other hand, Chelsea by 2 is +350. I’m not Santa Claus, but I already gave you plenty of gifts! Enjoy!

Bet This Pick: Draw-Chelsea for Halftime-Fulltime (+375)
