Tip and bets

TipHandicap (-1) to Chelsea

1.82

The teams met at Stamford Bridge in early October, and Southampton couldn't do anything against the hosts. The only goal for Soton was scored by Ward-Prowse from a penalty, but then he was shown a red card in that same game. Chelsea lead the head-to-head and in general look stronger than their visitors.
