Southampton v Chelsea Betting Tips and Prediction

Southampton v Chelsea predictions and football betting tips for Sunday’s Premier League clash.

The frenetic festive football continues with table toppers Chelsea visiting a resurgent Southampton side.  With 3 games in the space of 6 days for both teams, the legs may be starting to get heavy but do not expect any of the intensity to go out of either teams’ performance.

 

Southampton v Chelsea Prediction

 

Southampton have a point to prove against Chelsea having lost both of their games so far at home to the big guns.  Man City came away from St Mary’s with a comfortable 3-0 victory and Man United clinically snatched all 3 points away from the South coast side. Will lessons have been learned from these defeats? Southampton have since lost against Burnley 1-0, and then picked up wins against Everton and Crystal Palace, scoring three times in both of these victories.

Chelsea on the other hand have been consistent as consistent comes in the Premier League; their only blip being a defeat away to Alan Pardew’s Newcastle side. Chelsea have been playing some lovely football lately and fully deserve their berth at the top of the league. Many of their key players are bang in form with Diego Costa finding his scoring touch again and Eden Hazard constantly terrorising the West Ham defence in their Boxing Day victory at Stamford Bridge.

Southampton’s form has improved lately and their performances against Everton and Crystal Palace will have boosted their confidence ahead of the visit of Chelsea. However, with quality and confidence in every department, The Blues will be clear favourites for this clash, and rightly so.

Due to Southampton’s poor form against the big teams as well as Chelsea’s imperiously elegant football, I can only see this match finishing as a Chelsea win.

You can find the best odds for a Chelsea win with Ladbrokes at 4/5 and that is our first Southampton v Chelsea prediction.

 

Chelsea have won all 5 of their last matches and in each of these have won by a margin of 2 goals. Once they get the first goal Chelsea look to grind the opposition down and see the game out in a professional manner, usually scoring at least one more along the way; the results of their last 5 matches have either been 2-0 or 3-1.  For a correct score betting tip I predict this pattern is likely to continue at St Mary’s.

The best odds for a 2 goal Chelsea winning margin are with Bet Victor at 19/4 and that’s our second betting tip for Southampton v Chelsea.

 

If you want to plump for a correct score bet in this match, I would advise either a 2-0 or 3-1 Chelsea win due to their current streak of results. You can find odds of 8/1 and 16/1 respectively for these results.

 

John Terry has scored the opening goal in Chelsea’s last 2 league games and at odds of 40/1 with Bet Victor, here’s hoping that these things come in threes for our last football betting tip on Sunday’s match!
