Chelsea vs Southampton Prediction & Betting tips
In the hunt for the title, in which Tottenham Hotspur is getting closer, Chelsea seems to be able to afford only few mistakes. At least not home to Southampton.
Chelsea :
Chelsea is still in the Premier League, but the hole with Tottenham Hotspur number one more than four points. Of course, you do not want Tottenham to give extra hope than Chelsea, but on the other hand, the hole is big enough to pull the title over the line. In six games, you do not just give away four points, even in the form where Chelsea is currently in.
Chelsea lost two of his last four games in the league and thus did not seem as unacceptable as it was sometimes accepted, but last weekend there was not much to notice. Chelsea played the semi-finals of the FA Cup at Wembley and managed to win the Tottenham 4-2 win, making the final of the Cup. Antonio Conte chose to roll in his team and put Willian in front of Hazard and Aké in front of Cahill. So successfully.
The Blues now play the home game against Southampton and from the last seven meetings at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea lost only one. Past performance, however, does not provide a guarantee for the future, but it can also be positive. Chelsea has already lost two games in April and may therefore play better in April. In addition, Chelsea has not been able to keep up to ten competition games in a row (!), Something that has happened for the first time since December 1996.
Probable setup Chelsea
Courtois, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Aké, Moses, Fàbregas, Kanté, Alonso, Pedro, Costa, Hazard
Southampton :
It was equally exciting how the Southampton season would be developing, but The Saints are in a good ninth place and can make a hole in the next matches compared to numbers ten and eleven, Watford and Stoke. Southampton has as many points as number one Watford, but has played two games less. In these two matches, Southampton can take a good lead.
Southampton had a rest for last weekend, because it did not have to take action. The last game played by Claude Puel’s team was a week and a half ago. On Saturday April 15th, Manchester City was the opponent in St. Mary’s Stadium, and The Citizens managed to win 0-3. For Southampton there was a good deal, because City did not play a good game. Unfortunately, Southampton did not make much difference and after City’s 0-1, Southampton’s further excellent defense collapsed.
If Southampton plays like it played against City in the first half, there is something possible on Stamford Bridge. But if Southampton take the moderate form of the second half, Southampton will undoubtedly go down. Southampton managed to win three of his last four matches in the Premier League, thus winning more victories in four games than it had achieved in the previous twelve season outings. In that regard, the signs Southampton are thus favorable.
Probable setup Southampton
Forster, Soares, Stephens, Yoshida, Bertrand, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Davis, Redmond, Gabbiadini, Boufal
