Chelsea vs Southampton Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Chelsea have conceded the second least goals in the league this season while Southampton have failed to score in their last three league matches. Therefore betting on Chelsea to keep a clean sheet at odds of 1.87 (betway) is a safe bet.
Lukaku has not scored in his last three starts for Chelsea and will be looking to get back on the scoresheet and contend for the golden boot. Hence betting on him to score at odds of 1.72 (bet365) is another safe bet.
Chelsea have not scored in their last two matches while Southampton have only scored twice in the league this season, hence we expect it to be a low scoring match and suggest betting on total goals being scored in the match being less than 2.05 (betway).
Quick Rich
Mason Mount has been a key player for Chelsea over the last two seasons and will get loads of chances against a weak Southampton attack. Hence betting on him have over two shots on target at odds of 2.62 (betway) gives high returns at minimal risk.
Chelsea should have too much quality for this weak Southampton side and they will be looking to get a win as they continue their title challenge. We expect the final scoreline to be Chelsea 1-0 Southampton at odds of 7.00 (bet365) or 2-0 at odds of 6.50 (betway).
Win/Lose/Draw
Though Chelsea have lost their last two matches, they have one of the strongest squads in Europe and should get and easy victory against a poor Southampton side at odds of 1.37 (betway).
Bet During the Match
Though Timo Werner hasn’t been the first choice for Tuchel this season, Havertz has been out of form with 0 goals and assists in his last five matches. If Werner starts the match, betting on him to take over 4 shots at odds of 1.61 (betway) is a safe bet.
