Last Updated on August 28, 2022 10:57 pm by Erwin Noguera

Southampton and Chelsea will play next Tuesday, starting the fifth round of the Premier League. The hosts have yet to win playing in their domains and have won only four points in four games – 2 defeats, 1 draw, and 1 victory.

Facing the mighty Chelsea will be a big challenge for the Saints. Winning this match means bringing back the confidence of your fans and starting a new stage of good results in the league.

For Chelsea, this will be a great opportunity to win two games in a row this Premier League season. The team won the first game, drew the second, lost the third, and now returned to win in the fourth round, 2-1 over Leicester City.

The confrontation between these two teams always generates a lot of expectation and this will be an unmissable game. Let’s understand a little better about the two teams below.

Why Bet on Southampton?

To beat Chelsea at home, Southampton will need to count again on the goals of Che Adams, who has already scored twice this season. In addition to him, midfielders James Ward-Prowse and Joe Aribo each scored one goal.

The team is also playing in the EFL Cup and won its last match against Cambridge United 3-0, before losing to Manchester United four days later in the last round of the Premier League.

The last time Southampton hosted Chelsea in the Premier League (in the 2021/2022 season), the team took a historic 6-0 rout. This will be a great chance to redeem themselves with the crowd and forget about this result once and for all if they beat the Blues on Tuesday.

Why Bet on Chelsea?

Former Manchester City player Raheem Sterling scored both goals in the team’s last Premier League win: 2-1 against Leicester City. Before this victory, the team had visited and lost 3-0 to Leeds United, in a game the fans want to forget.

Last season’s 6-0 against Southampton is still in the memory of the London fans and that will be the team’s main motivation to win this difficult game. The home team, although not in a good moment, tends to make things difficult for the big teams in the Premier League.

While Sterling is the team’s top scorer, fullback Cucurella has already added two assists for a goal this season. Both play on the left side and have generated Chelsea’s best scoring chances. If they win the match, Chelsea will be able to enter the group of the 4 best teams in the Premier League, which currently have 10 points.

Final Betting Analysis: Southampton vs. Chelsea

The midweek round will be of fundamental importance for both teams and the draw serves no one. Southampton seeks rehabilitation in the table, while Chelsea dreams of entering the Champions League qualifying zone and staying there until the end of the competition.

Chelsea has everything it takes to win this game, so we believe in a 3-0 victory for the Blues.
