Command Analysis
West Ham United
EnglandCurrent form
West Ham significantly strengthened their squad in the summer, Julen Lopetegui came to the post of head coach, but they were unable to show their full potential right away. Based on the results of four rounds, the Hammers are only in 14th place, having earned four points. In confrontations with serious opponents, the Londoners were unable to achieve success - they lost 1:2 to Aston Villa and 1:3 to Manchester City. Their only victory was over Crystal Palace with a score of 2:0. The only good thing is that West Ham scored goals in all matches.
In the last round, Lopetegui's men played away against Fulham. The opponent opened the scoring early in the game, but the Hammers did not have a territorial advantage, made only three shots on target and only equalized in the fifth minute of added time (1:1).
It is obvious that the noticeably renewed https://www.whufc.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">West Ham still need to get used to each other, the players need to accept and understand the demands of the new manager. Among the players, we should note striker Jarrod Bowen. This player brought his team victory in the League Cup over Bournemouth (1:1), and it was after his accurate pass to Annie Ings that the score was equalized in the confrontation with Fulham.
Disqualifications and injuries
The appearance of Fyllkrug and Emerson on the pitch today is in question.
Interesting trends for betting
- West Ham have failed to win in four of their last five games on corners
- The Hammers have won just twice in their previous ten Premier League matches
- At least three goals have been scored in seven of West Ham's last nine Premier League games
Probable line-up : Areola - Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Emerson - Alvarez, Rodriguez - Kudus, Paqueta, Summerville - Bowen.
Chelsea
EnglandCurrent form
Chelsea, in their usual style, are having a very unpredictable start to the Premier League season. In the first round, the Londoners lost to Manchester City (0:2), as expected. Then there was a crushing 6:2 victory over Wolverhampton away, after which they failed to beat Crystal Palace (1:1) at Stamford Bridge.
In the last round, the "aristocrats" beat Bournemouth away with a minimal score of 1:0. The opponent in that match missed a penalty in the first half, and the winning goal at the very end was scored by Nkunku, who came on as a substitute. In many ways, the Londoners were lucky in that match. It should be noted that the game with Bournemouth became a record in the Premier League for the number of yellow cards - 14 warnings were issued by the referee of the match Anthony Taylor.
In terms of points, Enzo Maresca's charges are doing quite well - seven points after four rounds and an interim eighth place. However, there are many questions about the game, victories, with the exception of the match against Wolverhampton, are hard for the team.
Disqualifications and injuries
James and Gusto are injured today and will not play. Lavia's appearance on the field is still in question.
Interesting trends for betting
- Chelsea have scored first in their last four away games
- Chelsea have scored in the second half in their last five away games
- Chelsea have opened the scoring in eight of their last nine Premier League games
Probable line-up : Sanchez - Disasi, Fofana, Colville, Cucurella - Fernandez, Caicedo - Madueque, Palmer, Sancho - Jackson.

2.17Tip and bets
Given the latest results, it is quite logical to see Chelsea as the favorite in the bookmakers' line. However, we are facing a derby, where statistics do not always come to the fore. Plus, the "aristocrats" do not show any strength in their game, and West Ham have a decent untapped potential, given the solid selection of players in each line. Let's add that the "hammers" have not lost in their three previous face-to-face matches on their home field - two wins and one draw. We think that today the hosts will score at least one point.
Our prediction is West Ham not to lose at 1.82
Bet on total
When choosing a bet on the total, it is worth paying attention to the fact that in face-to-face matches the opponents are distinguished by high efficiency. In three of the four previous personal meetings, at least three goals were scored. It is unlikely that the "hammers" and "aristocrats" will "dry" the game today.
The second bet is total over three goals with odds of 1.83
Betting on yellow cards
In the previous game against Bournemouth, Chelsea players received seven yellow cards at once, plus coach Maresca also received a warning. In six of the last seven matches, the "aristocrats" have not lost in terms of the number of yellow cards.
Prediction: Chelsea win on yellow cards with odds of 2.17
