Betting on Tottenham Hotspur F.C.
Tottenham may no longer be in the running for the Premier League title, but securing a win this Sunday is crucial for them as the fight for European places intensifies.
The Spurs currently sit in fourth place with 42 points, one ahead of Newcastle, who still have a game in hand.
With the competition for a place in the Champions League and Europa League heating up, securing three points against Chelsea is vital. Antonio Conte’s men will be looking for their third consecutive home win against Chelsea, who could potentially become direct rivals in the coming weeks. Although the visitors are struggling for form, Tottenham cannot afford to take them lightly.
With a powerful offense boasting 44 goals, the third highest in the league, and Harry Kane ranking second in the league’s scoring charts with 17 goals, Spurs have a solid chance of securing a victory.
However, Tottenham’s defensive record has been far from flawless, conceding the most goals among the top ten teams in the league with 35. Despite this, they have managed to keep four clean sheets in their last six games, demonstrating some improvement in this area.
Probable lineup (3-4-2-1): Fraser Forster; Cristian Romero, Eric Dier, Clement Lenglet; Emerson Royal, Oliver Skipp, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Ivan Perisic; Dejan Kulusevski, Heung-Min Son; Harry Kane.
Betting on Chelsea F.C.
Chelsea are rapidly running out of time to turn their fortunes around in the Premier League, and Sunday’s match against a formidable opponent may just be the boost they need to get back on track.
Despite spending over 300 million euros in the winter transfer window, the Blues have struggled to find their rhythm since returning to action. In the eight league games they have played, Chelsea has only managed two wins, with four draws and two defeats. This lacklustre performance has seen them drop to tenth place in the table with just 31 points, trailing four points behind the Conference League places and a significant ten points behind Newcastle in the Europa League spots.
Moreover, Graham Potter’s men suffered a 1-0 defeat in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 clash against Borussia Dortmund last week. With the team’s current form, it will be a difficult task for them to turn the tie around.
Chelsea’s attacking record is also a cause for concern, with just 23 goals to their name, making them the seventh worst attacking side in the league. In their last six Premier League matches, the Blues have scored a measly two goals, highlighting their lack of firepower in front of goal.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Kepa Arrizabalaga; Trevoh Chalobah, Ben Chilwell, Thiago Silva, Kalidou Koulibaly; Mateo Kovacic, Enzo Fernandez; Mason Mount, Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix; Kai Havertz.
JefeBet Prediction
Possessing two of the most talented squads in the Premier League, this Sunday both Tottenham and Chelsea will give us a great match as they did on matchday 2, with goals and a lot of friction on the pitch. Both clubs know they have a lot at stake in this match and need to be aggressive early on to make a difference.
The Spurs are one of the best offenses in the league and have scored in four of their last six games. For their part, the Blues have struggled mightily in attack but have found the net in two of their last three away games.
Prediction: Both teams score (TOT 1 – CHE 1).
