Tip and bets
In this match, we will favour the visitors, who have superior quality in all lines, strong ball control and the ability to impose their football on any opponent. The Saints started well, but the team has some game problems and lacks experienced players. Aside from that, the Londoners won two of the last three head-to-head games.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1) to Chelsea
In our opinion, only a miracle can save the home team from defeat. We expect Soton to focus on their defenses, while Chelsea will strive to score as many goals as possible. We think that the visitors will win comfortably.
Second bet - Chelsea to win by 2 goals
