Chelsea vs Southampton Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Chelsea have conceded the least goals in the league this season, while Southampton have scored the third least goals with only eight goals in nine games. Hence betting on Chelsea to win to nil at odds of 2.25 (bet365) is a safe bet.
Chelsea have scored eleven goals in their last two matches, which is the highest in Europe. We expect them to dominate this match too and betting on them to score in both halves at odds of 2.25 (bet365) is another safe bet.
Hakim Ziyech did not start the last match and should get some minutes in this match. Also as he is the first choice freeckick taker, betting on him to have over two shots on target at odds of 2.25 (betway) is a good bet.
Quick Rich
With Lukaku, Pulisic and Werner injured, Mount was given a very attacking role by Tuchel and he also took a penalty which helped him score a hattrick. Hence betting on him to get a goal in this match too against a weak Southampton side at odds of 3.60 (bet365) is one of the best bets of the match.
We expect Chelsea to dominate the game and get an easy win against Southampton who are sixteenth in the league and have only won one league game this season. Hence betting on Chelsea winning 2-0, 3-0 or 4-0 at odds of 3.40 (betway) gives good returns at minimal risk.
Win/Lose/Draw
Chelsea are favourites to win this match as they have one of the strongest squad depths and Southampton have performed very poorly this season. Hence betting on a Chelsea win at odds of 1.47 (betway) is a safe bet.
Bet During the Match
If Chelsea concede an early goal, betting on them to win behind at odds of 8.00 (bet365) is a good bet.
Southampton Overall form- WLLWD
