Chelsea vs Southampton Prediction, Betting Tips & Prediction

Chelsea vs Southampton
English Premier League
Date: Saturday, October 17, 2024
Starts at 15pm UK / 00pm CET
Location: Stamford Bridge.

After the bitter defeat against Liverpool and the surprising draw against West Brom, the Blues had officially activated their panic mode. And it seemed to work.

Facing Crystal Palace in the last round, at home, the team made one of the best performances of the season and regained confidence.

Now, they need to keep the momentum going and they should go after the top three, which was the original plan.

They have the firepower on their roster to achieve that goal and they have an inspiring coach, club legend Frank Lampard.

Also, they are at home and up against Santos, who, despite their great games from time to time, are no match for the 2016-17 champions.

In addition, Lampard's men also have a great h2h record against this opponent over the years, and especially at home.

Probably expect Chelsea to keep their winning streak alive this weekend.

Chelsea vs Southampton: head-to-head (h2h)

• The Blues had recorded 24 of the previous 30 fights overall.
• They had scored two or more goals in seven of their previous ten meetings.
• In this stadium, the hosts recorded 11 of the 14 previous victories.
• They have also kept a clean sheet in three of their previous four games at this ground.

Chelsea vs Southampton: Prediction

Lampard's charges won 4-0 at home in the last round, against Crystal Palace. Meanwhile, Ralph Hasenhuttl's charges won 2-0 at home to West Brom last week.

Moving on, the Blues finished fourth in the table last season, qualifying for the Champions League, and are one of the best teams in all of England over the past two decades.

On the other hand, the Saints couldn't even make the top 10 in 2019-20. It has also been going through a difficult time and it is difficult for the team to show consistency.

In fact, they had not won in six of their previous ten games overall, and they had also won in six of their previous ten trips.

Additionally, they have also predominantly fought this opponent in h2h encounters over the years. To cite a statistic, the Blues have recorded 24 of their last 30 total wins in h2h, and have also recorded 11 of their previous 14 wins at this stadium.

With those observations in mind, expect a Chelsea win this Saturday.
