Southampton vs Chelsea 09.04.2022

Southampton will be hoping to halt what has been a bad run of form when they host Chelsea on Saturday. With no wins in the last 5, the Saints are a far cry from the side that troubled League Leaders Man City, beat Spurs away and got a point off United at Old Trafford. While they seem to have very little to worry about with 9 points off the red zone, they will hope to stay as far away as possible from the relegation waters. To make this happen, getting back to winning ways is essential.

Meanwhile, Chelsea head into this fixture on the back of a 4-1 home loss to Brentford. In this tie, they will work towards avoiding consecutive league losses under Tuchel. Furthermore, the Blues will be counting on their run at St Mary’s where they are unbeaten in their last 8 visits since a 2-1 loss back in March 2013. In fact, in their 13 games at the Saints’ home ground, Chelsea have lost just once.

Looking at the two sides’ desire to avoid another defeat, we are expecting an entertaining tie with at least a goal in both halves.
