Chelsea vs Southampton Prediction 25 April 2017
On April 25 2017 at 19:45 in the final game of the 34th matchday of the English Premier League at the Stamford Bridge Stadium the local Chelsea play against Southampton.
The national championship of England is almost over now, yet they battle on the top of the standings is on its peak. The mistakes of Chelsea in their latest matches let their competitors shorten their distance to the leaders, yet that distance is still comfortable enough for the Blues. Moreover, Chelsea outplayed Tottenham in the semifinal of the FA Cup 4:2. As you see, they are still in the race for two titles in the current season.
Southampton showed much worse results in the current season compared to the previous one, yet, they are still considered to be strong middle-peasants of the national elite division. At the moment the Saints seem to be in pretty good conditions as they have only lost to Tottenham and Manchester City since the middle of March. In the rest of the matches Southampton drew Bournemouth and outplayed Crystal Palace and West Bromwich.
The teams have played three games against each other during the last two season and the results of these games show the advantage of Chelsea as they won twice while Southampton won once. We must also remind you that in the first round game of the current season of the English Premier League Chelsea won 0:2 at the pitch of the Saints. Of course, Chelsea are the favorites of the upcoming game, yet the performance of the Blues in the defense is by far not perfect as most of the teams have already got used to the scheme Chelsea use this season. That’s why they conceded at least one goal in all of their latest six games. As for Southampton, they will be trying hard in the upcoming game and that’s why we don’t think that they will lose with more than one goal difference.
