Chelsea have also won two of their last five in the PL, drawing two and losing one, however, their away form in the league has seen them going six matches without defeat, winning four and drawing two.

We can see here that there’s been a first half goal in 81% of home West Ham games in the Premier League and in 75% of away Chelsea league matches. We should also mention that a FH goals has been seen in four of their last five meetings between the sides here as well. Add this as well to the fact that West Ham have scored a FH goal in all five of their most recent home PL matches and Chelsea have scored in three of their most recent away PL matches. What can we bet on then? For Over 0.5 FH goals the odds are pretty low but another option would be to back Over 1 and hope for a second, or Laying the FH Draw and cashing out when there’s a goal.

The title Insights for this match isn’t showing value because the stats aren’t at 70%, however it’s still something worth considering. The implied probability stands at 53% which would mean we should be seeing odds at around 1.89. Currently you can back BTTS at some bookies at 1.93 so there’s some value to be squeezed out of it. Both teams score a pretty healthy 1.81 and 1.44 goals in their respective home/away matches and if you can get on this for odds higher than 1.89 you’re going to be getting some value on a bet that should land when these sides meet on Saturday evening.
