Southampton vs Chelsea: the Londoners to Outplay the Opponent at St. Mary's

Prediction for the English Premier League Southampton vs Chelsea match, which will take place on April 9 at 17:00. Who will be stronger? Check the teams’ conditions and expert betting tips. Several betting options are available!

After a confident 3:1 victory over West Ham in the FA Cup, Southampton are unbeaten in five games in a row. Before, they lost to Aston Villa, Newcastle, Watford and Manchester City - and only in the last game did the Saints drew with Leeds, exchanging goals once. Southampton may not worry about their future place in the English elite, but, of course, they cannot enter in the European Cup. After 30 rounds, the hosts have 36 points and 12th position in the standings. 

In the last match Chelsea suffered, one might say, a total failure. The reigning UCL champion lost at home to Real Madrid, and the hat-trick of the French striker Karim Benzema will be remembered for a long time. At least the Aristocrats managed to shoot once. Otherwise the situation would have been much more pitiful.

In the EPL, Chelsea need to be wary, because they are in the top-4, and Arsenal are fifth, not to say that far away. At the moment, the difference between the rivals is only five points, so the Londoners have to earn the maximum number of points in the upcoming weekend. 

Chelsea need to recover from their failure against Real Madrid. A meeting with an average performer should not cause them too much trouble. Southampton have been quiet of late, with only one draw and four losses. By and large, we think the Pensioners will outplay their upcoming opponent purely by skills and experience. We suggest betting on the win of the visiting team.
