Written Rises: Xiaobai Replayer At 3:00 am on August 23, the second round of the Premier League will usher in a highly anticipated London derby, with West Ham United facing Chelsea at the London Stadium. This is not only a contest between the two teams, but also a fierce collision of London football. Both sides are eager to score three points in this game to lay a good foundation for the new season. West Ham United: A crushing defeat in the first round, urgently needed to rebound West Ham United's performance in the Premier League last season was not satisfactory. After 38 rounds of the league, it ranked only 14th and has slipped to the downstream position of the league. At the beginning of the new season, the team's condition has not improved. The first round of the game was defeated 0-3 by the newly promoted Sunderland, which was a shocking result. Judging from that game, West Ham United's defense line was full of loopholes, and was easily broken through by the opponent many times and scored goals; the offensive end was also unthreatening, with only 4 shots in the game with 11 shots, and in the end they were unable to turn the situation back. In terms of lineup, West Ham United has introduced five players including J. Todibo, Diouf, Volk Pitts, Wilson and Hermanson this summer to try to strengthen the team's strength, but the departure of three people including Cresville, Kudus and Kufare has also had a certain impact on the team's lineup. Judging from its recent status, West Ham United has not won two consecutive games, and its morale has been hit hard. However, the team also has some highlights. The offensive core Bowen has contributed 7 goals in his last 10 games, accounting for 46% of the team's total goals, and is a key figure in the team's offense. If he can continue his good form in this game, it will bring great help to West Ham's offense. In addition, West Ham United is good at pressing at high positions and ranks third in the Premier League in set pieces. Last season, he scored 15 goals through set pieces, which may become an important offensive method for them in this game. Chelsea: The first round draw is slapped, striving to win the first time Chelsea also had a poor performance last season, but invested heavily in the transfer window this summer. The joining of powerful players such as Joao Pedro and Gittens has significantly improved the team's strength. In the first round of the league, Chelsea played at Stamford Bridge and Crystal Palace 0-0 to compete with each other. Chelsea had the advantage of ball possession throughout the game, with a ball possession rate of up to 61%, a high pass network density, and a sharp lead of 11-2 corner kicks, but the offensive efficiency was poor, with only 4 shots on the right side of the game in 19 shots, and he was unable to break through the opponent's goal. From the recent state, Chelsea has achieved 5 wins and 1 draw in the last 6 games, with fierce firepower on the offensive end, scoring 22 goals in the last 10 games, and averaging 2.2 goals per game. The defensive end has performed well, conceded only 6 goals, conceded 0.6 goals per game, and has 6 clean sheets of opponents. However, Chelsea also has some problems, such as their performance in the away game is not stable enough, with only 2 away games in their last 10 Premier League games, and their away game winning rate is relatively low. Moreover, if Chelsea's inefficiency in offensive efficiency in the first round of the game cannot be effectively solved, they may face difficulties in this game. Historical Confrontation: Chelsea has the upper hand In the last five years of confrontation between the two sides, Chelsea has an absolute advantage. Chelsea led the record with 4 wins and 1 draw and had already achieved five straight wins against West Ham United away. In the 25th round of the Premier League last season, Chelsea defeated West Ham United 2-0 away, showing strong strength. However, Chelsea's historical record at the London Stadium is not very good. In the past 10 games, they have won only 3 games, which may give West Ham United some psychological comfort Based on the recent situation, strength comparison, historical confrontation data and pre-match data of the two sides, Chelsea is even more optimistic in this game. Chelsea is stronger than West Ham United in offensive firepower and defensive stability. Although West Ham United sits at home, the defense line problem exposed by the first round of defeat is difficult to effectively solve in a short period of time. However, football matches are full of uncertainty. If West Ham United can stabilize its defense and use tactics such as set pieces, it will not be without a chance to be upset. Predict this game
