Chelsea are finally regaining their former ambitions this season, sharing 2nd-3rd place in the standings with Arsenal, 9 points behind Liverpool. Although Chelsea's main goal for the season is to keep their place in the top 4, it will be a real success if we remember the results of the last two seasons.
Southampton just returned to the Premier League, and so far it is very difficult for the ‘saints’ - 5 points in 13 rounds, few people believe that the team will be able to stay in the division. But Southampton do not give up points without a fight, especially in matches with top clubs - Liverpool with great difficulty took 3 points at St Mary's (2:3), and last season with Brighton ‘saints’ played away in a draw (1:1).
We expect a lot of goals in this match, Southampton also have chances to score, but we will bet on 3 goals.
Prediction: at least 3 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 2.5" bet, odds 1.42
