Chelsea vs Fulham Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 08/30/25

Chelsea banished memories of a weak 0-0 against Crystal Palace with a 5-1 demolition of West Ham last time, and the Blues can follow that by winning a 3rd-straight all-London clash. A pre-game injury to Cole Palmer and an early Hammers goal threatened to derail Enzo Maresca’s plan, but 3 goals in the space of 20 minutes turned things around at the London Stadium, with summer-signing Joao Pedro proving the star. Pedro scored the equalizer and assisted 2 more at West Ham, continuing a fantastic start to life at Stamford Bridge. The Brazilian has scored 6 goals in 7 appearances since moving to Chelsea and netted in his last meeting with Fulham for Brighton, so could be the difference-maker for the Blues here.

The unbeaten Fulham are unlikely to be as easy to push over as West Ham, but Marco Silva’s team has had to launch a rescue mission in each of their opening 2 games, and Chelsea may not be as kind to the Cottagers. The visitors have been good value for their successive ties with Manchester United and Brighton, but they have gone behind in both matches and now visit a Chelsea team that has conceded just 18 goals in 20 home league games under Maresca.
