St. Mary’s Stadium will be the centre of attention when Southampton and Chelsea lock horns in a highly-anticipated Premier League game. The Saints aim to put an end to their three-game winless run and, no doubt, a 1-1 draw with Brighton gave them a confidence boost. However, home win should not be considered as Russell Martin’s troops are hit by suspensions and injuries. All Downes, Harwood-Bellis, and Dibling are banned for the match, while the likes of Bazunu, Bednarek, Lallana, Ramsdale, Smallbone, and Stewart miss out with injuries.
The Blues, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in a 3-0 win over Aston Villa. Chelsea are on a three-game winning run in all competitions and given the number of absentees in the home team, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Enzo Maresca’s troops. Last time out Southampton defeated Chelsea 2-1 at St. Marry’s, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge.
Score Prediction: Southampton 1-3 Chelsea
