Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Chelsea vs Southampton

Chelsea

Thomas Tuchel's team lost for the first time in the last round of the English Championship - in the central match the Blues lost to Manchester City. That defeat was clearly not part of Chelsea's plans and now the team will try to get back on a winning path in the Premier League in a new round match against Southampton.

Chelsea is playing very consistently and convincingly at their stadium this season, and the new game should not be an exception either. Despite the Champions League fight in the middle of the week, the German mentor must release his strongest squad for the England championship match in order to prevent another misfire.

Southampton

Southampton did not start in the best way in the new championship of England. The team has also won the Premier League this season with just four points in six rounds. As a result, the Saints are at the bottom of the tournament table and risk becoming one of the candidates for a demotion in the class.

In the new league match, Southampton will again find it very difficult to claim victory, because in the away game the team is considered an obvious underdog. The Saints definitely have certain qualities that will help the team achieve the desired result in such a duel, but the guests also cannot do without luck and luck.
