Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Chelsea vs Southampton

Chelsea

Chelsea failed to beat West Ham in the last round of the English Championship and again did not please their fans with a good game and a positive result. The Blues continue to be in the middle of the standings and with each new round their gap from the leaders only increases.

The Londoners are not going through the best segment of the season, which added matches in the Champions League. Of course, the depth of the squad allows Chelsea to adequately perform in several tournaments at the same time, but so far the winter newcomers to the team are only adapting to the new club and are far from their best conditions. However, in the match of the future round of the Premier League, the Blues rightly expect to take all three points.

Southampton

Southampton ranks last in the English Championship standings and in the last round the team reaffirmed the status of the main outsider of the Premier League. The Saints mostly lost to Wolverhampton at home, although they were in the lead during the game and were obliged to finally win.

Until the end of the championship, it will be very difficult for Southampton to improve their standings, the team will clearly fight to maintain its place in the elite, but there are no special prerequisites for improving the game yet. In the new match, the Saints must show their best football in order to repeat the sensational result of the first round in the match against Chelsea.
