Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on West Ham vs Chelsea

West Ham

The Hammers frankly failed the opening match of the new English Championship, losing away to Sunderland with a score of 0:3. Such a crushing defeat to the newcomer of the Premier League was clearly not in the plans of the coaching staff of West Ham, so now the team will have to try to rehabilitate itself before its fans in the match of the next round. This summer, the Londoners behaved rather modestly in the transfer market, but a difficult start to the campaign may force the club to strengthen several problematic positions before the beginning of autumn.


Chelsea

Chelsea also failed to win in the first round of the English Premier League, drawing with Crystal Palace at their home stadium. In that match, the Blues could well have ended up with nothing, as they conceded a goal into their own net, which was disallowed after reviewing the video replay. Enzo Maresca's team has a match against another London club ahead, in which this time Chelsea fans will demand only a positive result from their favorites. It is the winners of the 2025 Club World Cup who must take control of the game and act from a position of strength.
