Tottenham vs Chelsea Predictions, Tips & Predictions

Tottenham v Chelsea
England – Carabao Cup
Date: Tuesday, September 29, 2024
Starts at 19pm UK / 45pm CET
Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Both teams had unexpected results in their last league games, and that definitely gave them a slight grip on reality.

After all the money wasted in the transfer market, the Blues were forced to draw against newly promoted West Brom on the final day of the game. Embarrassingly, West Brom scored three goals before half-time.

Meanwhile, José Mourinho's men drew 1-1 at Newcastle.

As such, this upcoming confrontation could be a serious test. Disappointing results in back-to-back games will set a bad tone for their respective campaigns going forward, as will an early exit from the Carabão Cup.

For the reasons, victory is essential for both teams this Tuesday. Judging by the attacking power and defensive flaws of both teams, a goal fest looks like the likely outcome.

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

• The last match ended in a 2-1 win for Frank Lampard's men.
• They are also on a four-game winning streak.
• However, prior to that, the Spurs were on a three-game winning streak.
• Eight of the previous twelve meetings have had goals from both teams.

Tottenham vs Chelsea: Prediction

Mourinho's men bowed out in the previous round as their opponent Leyton Orient failed to show up due to some of their players testing positive for Covid-19.

Meanwhile, the Blues recorded a 6-0 home win over Barnsley in the third round. New signing Kai Havertz scored three goals, while Tammy Abraham contributed one goal and two assists.

Indeed, Lampard's men have been scoring a lot of goals recently, only adding more attacking potential to their arsenal. They had scored three or more goals in three of their previous four games, and had scored two or more goals in their last four h2h games.

Meanwhile, the Spurs had won six of their last nine games overall, losing just one in their previous fifteen meetings. And at home, they won seven of their previous nine matches.

Plus, they're determined to finish in the top four in the PL this season, and a good showing against the Blues will only boost their confidence. They are also upbeat given the struggles Lampard's men have been having on the road of late.

Given these observations, it seems highly likely that both teams will find the bottom of the net on Tuesday. Also, as this is a one-legged tie and with a place in the quarter-finals at stake, expect a tight, goal-filled clash.
