Opta Stats: Fulham v Chelsea

17Apr 2013

England - Premier League

 

Having suffered the disappointment of a FA Cup semi-final defeat, Chelsea now face the challenge of a West London derby against Fulham, as they look to move back ahead  of Arsenal.

 

Chelsea have won none of their last four Barclays Premier League away games and lost the last three in a row. You can lay a Chelsea win at 1.86.

 

The last four London derbies between Fulham and Chelsea have ended as draws, with only four goals being scored in total overall. The draw can be backed at 3.85.

 

Fulham have won just one of their 23 Premier League meetings with the Blues (W1 D10 L12) and none of the last 13 (W0 D7 L6). A Chelsea win can be backed at 1.85.

 

Fulham have recovered fewer points from losing positions than any other team in the Premier League this season (5). Chelsea are 2.96 to win half-time/full-time.

 

The Whites have won three of their last four Premier League home games, losing the other to Manchester United (0-1). Fulham are 4.8 to pull off a win.

 

10 of Dimitar Berbatov's 13 Premier League goals for Fulham have come before half-time. The Bulgarian is priced at 8.0 to score the first goal.

 

Berbatov has scored four goals in his last three appearances for Fulham in the Premier League at Craven Cottage. He is 3.55 to score at any time.

 

Fulham's woodwork has been struck 18 times, more than any other team in the Premier League this season. They are 5.8 to stay lucky and keep a clean sheet.

 

Martin Jol has only won one of his eight Premier League games as a coach against Chelsea (W1 D3 L4) and has never been triumphant against Rafa Benitez in seven head to  head league games (W0 D4 L3). The Blues are 5.0 to win both halves.

 

Chelsea have won 14 points from eight Premier League London derbies this season (W4 D2 L2) and have conceded only eight goals in these eight games. Chelsea are 3.2 to win to nil.
