Chelsea vs West Ham United: match statistics
Chelsea are in significantly better form, winning four of their last five matches, while West Ham are struggling, especially away from home (only 18% win rate). The hosts have the edge in key statistics: higher shot accuracy (11% vs 10%), a better xG rate (1.67 vs 1.16), and significantly higher ball possession (58% vs 43%). West Ham concede an average of 1.73 goals per away match and have only a 9% clean sheet rate, which, given Chelsea's solid attack (averaging 1.55 goals at home), points to a high probability of an away defeat. The hosts' positive goal difference (+6) in home matches and their 45% clean sheet rate at home are further arguments in favor of a Chelsea victory. The table positions (5th place vs 18th place) and the overall disposition of both teams clearly favor the hosts in this clash.
