The blues, contenders for the league have played nine on the road, with an even spread of wins, losses and draws. Chelsea’s games have been pretty tight on the road netting just thirteen goals in nine and conceding nine. Southampton have played nine at home, winning four, losing just two and three draws.

Chelsea have failed to score in four of their away matches this season and that is worth looking at when trying to find a betting tip today, with Southampton failing to net just once at home. Both teams to score is priced around 1.75, which is a little skinny, seeing as we priced it more so towards the 4/5 mark, knowing that although Chelsea do not score too many on the road, they also limit goals conceded. The Saints have only won one of their last nine Barclays Premier League games against Chelsea (D3 L5), but that was in this fixture last season. Chelsea are likely to be missing Frank Lampard, who has scored four goals in his last five Barclays Premier League starts against Southampton.

With it being New Year’s Day and the players wishing they were with family etc, the atmosphere in the crowd could be a strong indicator for motivation should see a low scoring affair and that is why we are going with under 2.5 goals at odds of 10/11 with William Hill for our match prediction. This would have occurred in two of the last three Chelsea games.
