Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Southampton vs Chelsea

Southampton

Southampton are bottom of the English Premier League table and this result is well deserved, as the team has only won one game in the current season. The Saints are currently the worst team in the Premier League and the main contender for relegation. The team's head coach Russell Martin has been under a lot of pressure for a long time and it is entirely possible that the coach will lose his job in the near future if he fails to improve Southampton's results and position.

Chelsea

But Chelsea, after a less than successful start, managed to improve both in terms of play and results, managing to secure a place in the top four of the tournament table. The density of teams in the leading group obliges the Londoners to consistently score points and make fewer mistakes, because any draw or defeat could cost the Blues too much. So far, Chelsea under the leadership of Enzo Maresca is coping with a busy and difficult schedule and in the upcoming away match the team will only be satisfied with a positive result.

The balance of power in this confrontation is extremely clear: bookmakers do not leave Southampton many chances and see Chelsea as the clear favorite of the game. The tournament position obliges the home team to take risks and look for their opportunities in matches even against the top opponents, but still the class and level of the Blues' players should play a decisive role in such a match.
