Fulham vs. Chelsea Bet Builder Tips: Palhinha to be carded in 28/1 treble

We have a West London derby to look forward to on Monday evening as Chelsea make the short trip to Craven Cottage to take on Fulham. We’ve got a full preview of the game from our man James Cantril which you can read here, but we’ve also compiled our favourite fancies into a bet builder which can be backed at 28/1 with BoyleSports.

Chelsea have collected just five points from their first six matches of the 2023/24 Premier League season, which marks their worst start to a top-flight campaign since 1978/79. Luton Town are the only side that The Blues have collected three points against so far this term and we are kicking off our Bet Builder by taking the hosts to win on Monday evening. 

Fulham ended a 17 year unbeaten streak against Chelsea last season by winning this fixture 2-1 in-front of their own fans in January, as well as earning a goalless draw at Stamford Bridge later in the campaign. 

Mauricio Pochettino has a long list of absentees for this clash. Wesley Fofana, Christopher Nkunku, Romeo Lavia, Ben Chilwell, Reece James, Benoit Badiashile, are all out injured, while Nicolas Jackson and Malo Gusto are both suspended.

Leicester City have recorded more Premier League wins this calendar year than Chelsea despite being relegated to the Championship in May. Chelsea have failed to score in their last three matches and Fulham can take advantage of their rivals early-season struggles. 

Next up we’ve taken Joao Palhinha to be carded. No player in the league was shown more yellow cards last season than the Fulham midfielder who picked up 14 in 35 appearances. This season he has been cautioned twice in four matches and was also booked the last time these two sides met in February. 

Rounding off this 28/1 poke is Conor Gallagher to register Over 0.5 Shots on Target. Gallagher has started every league game so far this season and has hit the target at least once in 50% of his matches. A player who isn’t afraid to have a pop from range, Gallagher can land at least one shot on target against Fulham to bring home this Bet Builder on Monday.
