Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Southampton vs Chelsea

Southampton

Southampton got off to a good start in the new season of the English Championship, the team from the very first rounds entrenched itself in the middle of the standings. The Saints are a typical middle class in the elite English division, and this position fully confirms the current level of the team.

In the new match, Southampton will have to make a little more effort to score some points, because even at home the team will be a clear underdog. But in the current championship, the Saints have already shown how effectively they can play as the second number and will certainly rely on counterattacks and set pieces.

Chelsea

Chelsea did not start the new season in the best way, the away and devastating defeat against Leeds was especially painful for the team. Now the wards of Thomas Tuchel are in the role of catching up and each new misfire will only complicate the position of the Blues in the English Premier League.

There is no doubt that in the new match the German mentor will demand an exceptionally victorious result from his wards. Chelsea still have a hard time playing in attack without a classic striker in the squad, but even this circumstance will not be an excuse in the event of another loss of points.
