England Premier League: Chelsea – Fulham 30/08/2025

Asian handicap betting

There are plenty of derbies scheduled this weekend in the Premier and Scottish Premier League, and the first of these is going to be held at Stamford Bridge in the West London Derby.

Chelsea have had the better of this tie over the years, winning 53 out of the last 93 games between the clubs. I cannot see any change forthcoming on Saturday as I think they will prove far too strong for Fulham despite their rivals recording their best Premier League finish last term. Chelsea have already played two London derbies this term, starting with a drab 0-0 with Palace, but they had an impressive 5-1 win away at West Ham last time out. It looked like things might have clicked for their forwards with 5 different players hitting the net. Picking a goalscorer with Chelsea is not an easy task as they have so much talent available, you are best to look at the anytime market for their forwards. Joao Pedro for me, is usually the pick of the bunch though.

Fulham have had two solid opening games claiming a point against both Man United and Brighton with the same scoreline (1-1) and coming from behind in both. Emile Smith-Rowe or Raúl Jiménez for me, are the players to keep an eye on up front. Fulham will be motivated for this one, but so will Chelsea. I really cannot see there being any value in just going for Chelsea to win, so give them a handicap. I am saying at least one goal and get your weekend bets off to a good start, backing them to win by a couple of goals here.
