Chelsea’s performances this season come as a very negative surprise to its fans. It has had 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats in 7 games in the Premier League and has suffered a 2-1 away defeat from Porto in its second game for the Champions League (group stage). It is also worth mentioning that it has picked up a point in its last game for the league against Newcastle away from home, despite the fact that Newcastle was leading with 2-0 until the 75th minute of the game.
Southampton hasn’t been performing better than Chelsea but obviously the expectations as not as high. It has had 2 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats in 9 games, beating Swansea with 3-1 at home in its last game. Southampton has had 3 draws in 3 away games, the last 2 of which have been with a 0-0 score.
Chelsea will be missing the services of Diego Costa who has been shown the red card against Arsenal and Southampton will be missing the services of Clasie and Forster who have been out for some time.
Considering the fact that Chelsea does concede goals with relative ease this season;
Prediction: goal/goal, odd: 1.72 @ BET365
