LiontipsTottenham vs Chelsea. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022-23 English Premier League (February 26, 2023).
Command Analysis
The main event of the Premier League weekend will take place in North London, where Tottenham will host Chelsea. The current hosts have won only seven out of 61 meeting with the Blues and suffered 33 defeats. The only team they have lost to more often is Manchester United.
Nevertheless, today the Spurs can boast an 11-point advantage over Chelsea in the league standings. The hosts remain without their head coach Antonio Conte, who is undergoing treatment, while assistant coach Cristian Stellini has won all three of his matches as interim manager. After 24 rounds of the tournament, the Spurs have 13 wins and three draws, which correspond to 42 points and fourth place in the standings. In their last game, Tottenham defeated West Ham at home (2-0).
Sessegnon, Lloris, Bissouma, and Bentacur have been sidelined through injuries.
Chelsea are going through a difficult period. The situation is particularly challenging for Graham Potter, who is under close scrutiny. This is especially relevant after the defeat to Southampton (0-1), which made Potter the manager with the lowest percentage of wins in the last eight matches. Moreover, the Blues have scored only two goals in their last three away games.
If the team loses today, that would be their worst winless streak since 2001. In 23 games, Chelsea have recorded eight victories and seven draws, which corresponds to 31 points and 10th place in the table. They have scored and conceded an average of exactly one goal per game.
Pulisic, Mendy, Kante, Broja, and Azpilicueta, who has a head injury, will not be able to take the field on Sunday.
