Fulham vs Chelsea Prediction 12.01.2023

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: 12.01.2023.
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Craven Cottage (London)

Fulham is almost halfway through this incredibly good season, the match against Chelsea will mark exactly half the way to the club's championship ambition, which is to finally win survival for the next season of the Premier League. Everything seems to be going well, Fulham has a huge 13-point advantage over teams in the danger zone, they have won their last 3 matches against respectable teams and life is good for them at the moment.

The very fact that Chelsea won fewer points than Fulham this season speaks volumes about how bad the season is for the European champions from a few seasons ago. Defeat against Manchester City in the previous round was certainly not unexpected, but Chelsea will have to surpass many projections in order to even have a chance to fight for European competitions.

Fulham vs Chelsea pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Fulham scored 16 goals in 9 matches this season at home. Aleksandar Mitrovic is certainly the most deserving of that, having scored 11 times. Something that is also very important is that Fulham's defense has improved compared to some previous seasons. Chelsea has conceded at least 1 goal in the previous 6 away games and this club shows a lot of weakness in general, so we expect a match with goals on both sides that could end in a draw.
