Chelsea vs. Fulham Picks, Prediction

Chelsea Moneyline (-120)

Chelsea was wildly inconsistent last season, but I think there's enough upside in the Blues' revamped squad to take a shot on them at plus money at Craven Cottage.

Chelsea finished just one point ahead of Fulham in 2025-26, but the underlying scoring numbers favored the Blues. Chelsea scored 58 goals with a +6 goal differential while Fulham scored only 47 and finished with a negative goal differential.

Chelsea have since made Morgan Rogers the centerpiece of another aggressive summer, while also adding Maxence Lacroix, Geovany Quenda, Marco Palestra and several other pieces.

There are obviously chemistry questions with a squad that has changed this much, but oddsmakers are clearly pretty confident in the Blues given that they’ve made Chelsea a sizable road favorite against a decent Cottagers side.

Adding Rogers gives the Blues’ attack another proven Premier League difference-maker, and Chelsea's overall talent level is comfortably higher than Fulham's. I'm willing to bet on that quality showing through in the season opener.

Chelsea vs Fulham Projected Lineups

Chelsea Possible Starting XI: Sanchez; James, Lacroix, Colwill, Hato; Fernandez, Caicedo; Neto, Palmer, Rogers; Joao Pedro

Fulham Possible Starting XI: Leno; Castagne, Cuenca, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Iwobi; Bobb, King, Palacios; Gonzalo García.

Soccer Betting FAQ

What is a moneyline bet in soccer?

A moneyline bet is a wager on which team will win the match. Because soccer matches can end in a draw, most moneyline markets include three options: the home team, the away team, or a draw.

What does “draw no bet” mean?

Draw no bet removes the draw as a losing outcome. If the match ends tied, your wager is refunded. If your team wins, the bet wins.

What is a soccer total?

A total is a bet on how many combined goals will be scored in a match. For example, an Over 2.5 Goals bet wins if at least three goals are scored.

What does “both teams to score” mean?

Both Teams to Score, often abbreviated BTTS, is a wager on whether each team will score at least one goal during the match.
