Chelsea vs Tottenham Prediction & Betting tips
The duel Chelsea (6th, 50 points) against Tottenham (3rd, 60 points) is one of the most intense rivalries the English capital has to offer. This London Derby has written many chapters on and off the field. As hooliganism flourished on the island, blues fans regularly came across anti-Semitic actions, such as the “hissing noise”. The Spurs were often the target of such evil acts because of the Jewish root. Athletic Chelsea hung in 2016 powerful to prevent the first championship of the Spurs since 1961 in the remote duel with Leicester. Although Tottenham have done well in recent games, the Spurs have won just seven of their past 53 league games against Chelsea (7-19-27). Last season, the blues were the first away win in 28 years.
In the London derbies this season, only Arsenal (16 points in eight games) currently scored more points than Tottenham (15 points in six games). That’s why between Chelsea and Tottenham our prediction is an away win. Christian Eriksen was directly involved in 15 Premier League games played on Wednesday, scoring seven goals, eight assists – including two assists against Chelsea in January 2017. Mauricio Pochettino has played four Premier League games against Chelsea Tottenham coaches won and so more as the other two former Spurs coaches were able to collect wins against the Blues (Harry Redknapp two wins, Martin Jol a win).
Chelsea:
The last Premier League game was 17 days back and was a 0-0 draw at Manchester City. For many, this was the beginning of the end for Chelsea coach Maurizio Sarri. Because since then it has hardly been noticeably better. Although it was against Malmö gleam and Gloria reached the knockout stages of the Europa League, in which now waiting with Dynamo Kiev again a grateful task, but in the two national cups, it was much worse. In the FA Cup, the Blues eliminated at home against Man United and last Sunday were subject to the Blues – albeit only on penalties – again Manchester City. Although Sarri showed that he still has a certain ability to learn and moved with a very defensive tactics, without high pressing, the Citizens the tooth, in the end was still a defeat. However, it was overshadowed by the substitution by 80 million goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, who refused to replace him just before the penalty shoot-out, although Sarri’s chances of winning with Willy Caballero were better. Sarri raged then, almost disappeared into the cabin, before the Italian turned around and returned to the bench.
After the cup defeat, Sarri tried to downplay the scandal, put it as a “misunderstanding” down. But more obviously it could not be made clear to the broad public that the coach has not been wearing his pants for a long time. Even a leader like David Luiz whispered something to Kepa in the field, but it was not an invitation to follow the instructions of his coach. Chelsea is deep in the mess. The authority of the coach was undermined, the club last week with a transfer ban and the owner is currently not allowed to enter. The future has been rosier with the blues. In the Premier League threatens again missing the Champions League. In addition, Chelsea has not scored in three of the past four Premier League games. In the past three league games fell a total of 15 goals (five per game). In addition to the 5-0 home win over Huddersfield and the 0-6 defeat against Man City, there was also a 0: 4 in Bournemouth. For us between Chelsea and Tottenham a tip with odds of 3.35 (Betsson) on the Spurs is advisable. Wondering if Kepa will score on Wednesday. Equally questionable is the intervention of Cesar Azpilicueta, who fought with Sarri a verbal battle.
Tottenham:
It’s always the same with Tottenham: when the team barely opens a door, they still do not go through it to intervene in the championship race. With a win at Burnley, Tottenham could have reduced the deficit to Liverpool and Man City to two points in the meantime and held the title even in their hands, but after the defeat at the Clarets and the now seventh defeat in this Premier League season, that can Subject championship will be shelved once more, until at some point another opportunity exists and Tottenham may not perceive it again. Previously, this had been the case this season in the final game of 2018 against Wolverhampton, when Tottenham sat against all expectations, the game in the sand and failed to make a fight from the title fight. Burnley had not won against a club from the top six at home since August 2016. In addition, at Tottenham ran for the first time since January 13, Harry Kane from the beginning and even met for the Spurs.
However, the England striker lost three out of the last seven Premier League games scoring one goal (four wins). Previously, it was only three of 76 Premier League games in which Kane scored but dropped out as losers (62-11-3). However, another defeat between Chelsea and Tottenham does not anticipate our forecast. Rather, it is advisable to give a tip on the Spurs Chelsea against Tottenham. Coach Mauricio Pochettino fought a verbal battle with referee Mike Dean after the final whistle, who had apparently said something to the Argentine when he was already starting to stray. “Say that again in the camera”, was then heard by Pochettino. For the current best away team, Tottenham, it was only the second defeat in the past eight Premier League away games. In addition, Tottenham played in this league season not yet draw (27 games). In the top league history of English football, only two teams remained without a draw for an extended period: 1919/20 West Brom (29 games), 1895/96 Stoke City (30 games). Dele Alli is still injured and Eric Dier remains questionable.
