Latest Fulham vs Chelsea football commentary

Fulham's defeat to Bournemouth came thanks to Antoine Semenyo's first-minute goal, and it was the fourth consecutive game they have conceded first.

Manager Marco Silva must not be happy with his side's Premier League form, as Fulham have alternated between wins and losses in their last seven games, dropping a total of 12 points in the process.

However, the team still has a slim chance of qualifying for European competition. They are six points behind Aston Villa, who are in seventh place, and are likely to qualify for the Conference League, and possibly even the Europa League.

If they want to break through at the end of the season, Fulham need to improve their defense, as they have conceded eight goals in their last four games and failed to score in two of them.

Fulham’s home form has also been inconsistent, with wins and losses alternating in their last seven games. However, they have beaten strong opponents such as Liverpool, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur at Craven Cottage.

Chelsea had to share points with relegation-threatened Ipswich after being down 2-0 in the first half. It should be noted that Chelsea had 34 shots in this match, double their average this season (16.4 shots/game).

Despite losing 2-1 to Legia Warsaw in the second leg of the Conference League quarter-finals on Thursday, Chelsea still qualified for the semi-finals thanks to a 3-0 win in the first leg on April 10.

Manager Enzo Maresca is under huge pressure in the second half of the season, but Chelsea are currently just one point behind fifth-placed Manchester City, and that position is the final Champions League spot.

However, Chelsea have won just one of their last four Premier League games, drawing two and scoring just three goals in that time.

Maresca last faced Silva in the Premier League on 26 December, losing 2-1, but that was Chelsea's only defeat to Fulham in their last five meetings. They have won three of those.

Chelsea have not won away from home in the league since December 8, losing five, drawing three and failing to score in five of those.
