Southampton vs Chelsea Prediction

Southampton are looking to bounce back from a recent setback and get back to winning ways. In their last three matches, they first took out Leicester by 1-2, before beating Cambridge U by 0-3. The winning streak came to an end against Manchester United, who ran out 0-1 winners. Southampton claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Premier League, which also saw them drawing one and losing four matches, in which they scored five and conceded 13 goals.

They were able to stay clear of relegation last season, and Southampton now aim to climb the rankings to a more secure finish this term.

Chelsea claimed four points in their last three matches, starting by a 2-2 draw with Tottenham. A 3-0 defeat against Leeds was next up, before beating Leicester by 2-1. Chelsea managed a decent return of three wins in their last six Premier League away matches, in which they scored 11 while also conceding five times. They also experienced one draw and two defeats.

Taking the title might be too much of a stretch, but after their top four finish last season, Chelsea are certainly aiming for the podium this season.

Both Southampton and visitors Chelsea seem to struggle just a wee bit much right now, with keeping a clean sheet. We go out on a limb here and suggest that, both teams will find the back of the net.
