West Ham vs Chelsea

Below you can find more on each part of Macca’s West Ham vs Chelsea bet builder, with the option to back each individual leg directly through oddschecker at best price.

Lucas Paquetá Over 1.5 Fouls

While West Ham will have last season’s 5-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge in mind. In a London derby, that cannot happen again and I’m betting fouls will be on the table.

Paquetá has been consistent committing a foul in nine of his last 10 games for the Hammers. In his games this season (all comps) he has committed the following foul counts: 3,2,2,0,3.

Edson Alvarez Over 0.5 Fouls

Another player who has been consistent with fouls recently is Alvarez. He’s committed at least one foul in all of his last six starts and even managed two fouls against Crystal Palace where he came on as a substitute for the last 12 minutes. He’ll likely be in and around the likes of Cole Palmer so will have his work cut out.

Marc Cucurella Over 0.5 Fouls

I’ve switched to a Chelsea player for the last one as the data looks great for it. Cucurella has committed a foul in three out of his four starts this season and averaging 1.12 fouls per game over a longer set of data. 

He will be up against Jarrod Bowen whose opportunities will likely be on counter attacks which are perfect for fouls. Bowen has also drawn a foul in 10 of his last 11 games which bodes well for the bet.
