- Chelsea has -152 odds to defeat West Ham United in Friday’s Matchweek 2 meeting.
- There’s good value on the Blues to record a shutout win at +190 odds.

LONDON – Betting odds say Chelsea will earn a victory (-152) against West Ham United away from home in a battle of winless teams. The Hammers have won just once in their last eight Premier League matches, while Chelsea looks good on the moneyline after recording seven wins in their last eight matches across all competitions.

There are +190 odds at Premier League betting sites for Chelsea to record a shutout victory on Friday. The Hammers fell to recently-promoted Sunderland 3-0 in the season opener and have been shutout in 33% of their last 15 games in the Prem.
Bet Chelsea Over 1.5 Goals Instead Of 2.5-Goal Game Total
Friday’s legal sports betting set at 2.5, 3 goals is intriguing, but expect Chelsea to do most of the scoring. West Ham has -305 odds to go under 1.5 total goals, and +163 odds to go scoreless against the Blues.
Meanwhile, Chelsea has -138 odds to score a goal in the first half and -145 odds to score over 1.5 goals in the match. An alternate match total of 2.5 goals has -140 odds to go over, but betting on Chelsea to do the bulk of the scoring is the better wager.
Another solid bet at Bovada Sportsbook is Chelsea to record a shutout win +190. They kept a clean sheet in two of the last three matches against the struggling West Ham and each of their last two Premier League matches dating back to last season.
