Betting on Chelsea F.C.
Chelsea has recorded three consecutive draws in the Premier League, and facing the bottom team at home looks like the perfect opportunity to get back to three points in the championship.
Raheem Sterling, N’Golo Kanté, Edouard Mendy, Christian Pulisic, and Armando Broja are the confirmed absentees for Graham Potter’s team. Ben Chilwell suffered a knock against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League; thus, his presence on the field is not certain for this game.
This season, playing at home in the Premier League, Chelsea has five wins, three draws, and two defeats, with thirteen goals scored and seven conceded.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Kepa Arrizabalaga; Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Thiago Silva, Kalidou Koulibaly; Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Enzo Fernández; Mason Mount, Mykhailo Mudryk, João Félix; Kai Havertz.
Betting on Southampton F.C.
Four defeats in their last five Premier League games have Southampton highly threatened by the relegation zone, although fortunately for the team, they are only four points from safety.
Valentino Livramento, Moussa Djenepo, Kyle Walker-Peters, Juan Larios, Armel Bella-Kotchap, and Alex McCarthy are the players who would be absent on Rubén Sellés’ team. Several of those players’ participation is still in doubt and will be evaluated until hours before the match at Stamford Bridge.
In the current season, playing on the road, Southampton has three wins and eight defeats, with eight goals scored and 21 conceded.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Gavin Bazunu; Walker Peters, Lyanco, Mohammed Salisu, Romain Perraud; Ward Prowse, Ibrahima Diallo; Moussa Djenepo, Mohamed Elyounoussi, Samuel Edozie; Che Adams.
JefeBet Prediction
In the previous matchup between the two on the Premier League’s Matchday 5, Southampton beat Chelsea 2-1, with goals from Romeo Lavia and Adam Armstrong. Raheem Sterling had put the visitors ahead on that occasion.
Chelsea showed much of its potential with the new signings in the match against Dortmund, and despite the defeat, the fans have to be very pleased with what they saw in Germany. Therefore, at JefeBet, we believe that they will be able to score several goals against Southampton, which will lead them to a comfortable victory.
Prediction: Chelsea Moneyline and Over (CHE 3-1 SOU).
