Chelsea hosts Fulham in round 34 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, May 1st at Stamford Bridge (London)
Chelsea is ranked 4th in the Premier League standings and can hardly count on more than 3rd place at the end of the season. At the same time, Thomas Tuchel's charges continue to play on two fronts. And in the middle of the week, they played an extremely difficult away match against Real Madrid in the Champions League (1-1). Chelsea's positions in the local championship look unshakable, and this team can afford to focus on the main football tournament in Europe and play the next match against Fulham using a semi-reserve squad.

Fulham still has a mathematical chance of retaining a place in the Premier League, but the Cottagers need to score points in each of the remaining matches. The last match against Arsenal (1-1) showed that Scott Parker's team still has a desire to remain in the elite of English football, as well as some potential. The next match will definitely not be an easy walk, but it is quite possible to score at least one point in it. But the Cottagers must play reliably in defense.
In the first head-to-head match, Fulham lost to Chelsea at home with a minimal 0-1 score. The teams differ significantly in class and pursue completely opposite tournament goals. And the hosts are more than deservedly considered the favorites of the upcoming match, but. The Pensioners continue to play on two fronts, and the Champions League is always a priority even for English teams. Therefore, there is every reason to believe that Chelsea will direct the main forces and resources to this very tournament. Such priorities play into the hands of the visitors who are quite capable of at least not losing with a large score and possibly gaining points. Therefore, a bet on Fulham with a plus handicap looks like a quite good option here.
Prediction for the match: Fulham to win with +1.5 handicap
