Tipster’s Angle

Both the teams are playing some exceptional football this season and this match could go either way. But Chelsea has a slight edge as they are in better shape than West Ham at the moment. Apart from that, this is expected to be a low-scoring thriller.

Tip: Total Goals Under 2.5 @ 1.85

Under 2.5 goals have been scored in six of the past ten head-to-head matchups. When West Ham United has hosted, two of the last three head-to-head meetings have resulted in under 2.5 goals being scored. Under 2.5 goals were scored in five of West Ham United’s last ten matches in all competitions. Under 2.5 goals have been scored in five of Chelsea’s last 10 matches in all competitions. In addition, West Ham United has scored under 2.5 goals in two of their past three home matches, while Chelsea has scored under 2.5 goals in two of their last four away matches. So, under 2.5 goals could be a feature of this match at 1.85 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Tip: Both Teams To Score – No @ 1.90

In the last ten matches that West Ham has played across competitions, both teams have failed to score in six of those matches, while Chelsea have seen both teams not scoring in seven of the last ten that they have played across competitions. Apart from that, clean sheets were kept in six of the last ten head-to-head matches that these two teams have played.
