Tuchel’s impressive start at Chelsea continued as Chelsea defeated Newcastle 2-0 last weekend. They now face struggling Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium who are in 13th place in the league after being on the very top at one point. Chelsea will definitely look to win this match and continue their momentum before facing Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. Meanwhile, Southampton will be looking to overturn their form after six consecutive league defeats.
Our betting predictions for Southampton vs Chelsea match are:
Southampton vs Chelsea Betting Tips
Safe Bets
We expect this to be a very intense match with both teams attacking from the start. Chelsea have scored in each of their last 5 matches while Southampton have scored in their last three matches. Thus betting on both teams to score at odds of 1.83 (betway ) is one of the safest bets of the match.
Timo Werner has been a regular starter for the Chelsea side and has gained some form under Tuchel. He will get a lot of chances in the match as he will be leading Chelsea’s attack and thus betting on him to get more than 3 shots at odds of 2.00 (William hill) is a good bet.
After returning from injury, Danny Ings has now scored in 2 consecutive matches and will be the key man in Southampton’s attack. With Chelsea looking to rest some key players before facing Atletico in three days and Ings being the first choice penalty taker,we suggest betting on him to get on the scoresheet at odds of 3.00(betway).
Quick Rich
Southampton have earned an average of almost six corners per match over the past month while Chelsea have earned the third highest corners in the league this season at an average of almost 6.5 per matc, thus betting on each team to get over 1 corner in each half at enhanced odds of 4.00 (William Hill) can give you high returns at minimal risk.
Betting on the result is always a good way to earn big. We expect this to be a very intense match but to finally end in Chelsea’s favour as they have been solid under Tuchel and predict the scoreline to be Southampton 1-2 Chelsea at odds of 8.00 (betway).
Win/Lose/Draw
Chelsea are clear favourites to continue their fine form of 6 wins and a draw under Tuchel. Southampton have been struggling and have lost their last 6 Premier League matches on a trot. Chelsea have too much quality and a lot of depth in their squad and thus we expect them to get an easy win at odds of 1.73 (William Hill).
Bet During the Match
If Southampton are the first team to score in the match, they will be favourites to win the match as Chelsea will be resting some of their key players thus betting on them to win the match from there on at current odds of 5.00 can be one of the best bets to make during the match (WilliamHill).
