Chelsea vs Southampton Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 25th February 2025

Bookmakers favour Chelsea to be victorious against Southampton in their upcoming Premier League encounter. Despite their recent unconvincing form, a win for the former seems likely on Tuesday. They should not underestimate The Saints, though.

Chelsea came away with three points from the latest encounter with Southampton. It would be a surprise if they fail do to it again, when they face each other on Tuesday.

Chelsea go into their next Premier League match, scoring a humble average of 1.1 per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane 11 times, while conceding 17. That amounts to an average of 1.7 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring one times.

Southampton scored eight goals, conceded 25 and kept their opponents from scoring one times in ten matches.

Southampton were knocked out cold when Chelsea took a 5-1 win in their latest encounter. It served as pay back for the 1-0 defeat, Southampton handed out in the game before.

Chelsea vs Southampton Prediction

Chelsea Form

A third defeat on the trot followed against Aston Villa, who came out 2-1 winners. Chelsea won four of their last six Premier League matches on home soil, while drawing once and losing once. They conceded seven and scored 13 goals.

On top of winning once they also drew one as well as losing four, while scoring ten time and letting in six.

Chelsea should be too strong against Southampton to drop any points, and combining this with over 2.5 goals, ups the price on the expected home win at Stamford Bridge.
