Without a win in five away Premier League games
 
It is by no means impossible that Chelsea will win a point at Stamford Bridge against West Ham. The Hammers have only won one of their last 15 Premier League away games at the Blues Stadium. In the first leg, however, the Moyes team beat the Pensioners 3-2.

However, the Irons have to get their recent away weakness under control. After all, there hasn't been a threesome for five Premier League away games (one draw, four defeats) - the longest dry spell since a phase between December 2019 and June 2020

West Ham struggles with a lack of consistency
 
The Hammers slipped out of the top 4 in the Premier League in mid-December and have been fluctuating between 6th and 7th place ever since. A Champions League ticket only seems possible with a brilliant final sprint - but this is rather unlikely due to the changeable results.
 
Free soccer picks
 
In the last 8 league games there were 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. In addition, the focus is on the Europa League semifinals against Eintracht Frankfurt. It is quite possible that West Ham will not bring the necessary power onto the pitch to survive against Chelsea.

Betting base prediction tip: Chelsea – West Ham
 
In the case of Chelsea against West Ham, the forecast goes in the direction of the home side, who, however, recently had to accept several setbacks at home at Stamford Bridge. However, West Ham are missing the two core defenders Zouma and Diop, whose losses are difficult to compensate for. The Irons have also been waiting for another three-pointer (one draw, four defeats) in five Premier League away games.
