West Ham – Chelsea. Forecast and announcement for the England Championship match

On September 21, the London Stadium will host a match of the 5th round of the English Premier League, in which “West Ham” will meet with “Chelsea”. The match will start at 14:30 Kyiv time.

West Ham

The team played previous seasons under the leadership of David Moyes. Moreover, it was the most experienced Scot who brought her an international trophy, in the form of a confident victory in the Conference League. But still, after the next season, when the club that sold the captain, Rice, fell back to 9th place, they said goodbye to the veteran without any particular regrets. The bet is on Lopetegui, who worked well with Wolverhampton in England. They made several signings for the Spaniard – Kilman and Luis Guillermo, Summerville and Füllkrug, Guido Rodriguez and Todibo, Ouan-Bissac and Soler, in the end he spent one and a half hundred million. And at the same time, recent leaders – Agerd, Zuma, Ward-Prowse, Korne – were distributed in rent. The start was not such as to justify such changes: defeats against Aston Villa and Manchester City with victories over Bournemouth (in the League Cup) and Crystal Palace. And even after the break, the national team games were limited to a draw with Fulham.

Chelsea

The club spent record sums again. Moreover, it is difficult to understand the logic of all these moves. They wrote a lot about the need to sell Gallagher, since he is his own pupil. But they got about 40 million for him, and one and a half cost Pedro Neto alone. Moreover, he gave the midfielder to Atlético, from there they took Joao Felix, and, after sending Sterling, who had been cut out of the cage, to Arsenal, they themselves sheltered Jadon Sancho, who was disgraced in Manchester United. As a result, Mareska does not have fewer players, and he still physically cannot train all four dozen. Hence, unstable and, by and large, not the best results. Yes, they defeated Wolverhampton, but at the same time they lost to Manchester City without a chance, extremely hard, by 1 goal, passed Servette in the qualification of the Conference League and shared the points with Crystal Palace, who had a weak start. In September, with Bournemouth, they also won in the end.

Statistics of personal meetings

Last season, the clubs exchanged confident victories on their fields.

Forecast

Bookmakers believe in guests more. But they can also face problems, so we take neutrals with a total of less than 3.5 goals (coefficient – 1.63).
