LiontipsTottenham vs Chelsea. Prediction (odds 2.10) and bets on the English Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
It looks like Tottenham are in a serious decline. In the last six matches, taking into account all tournaments, there was only one victory over Manchester City, which is also in crisis now (4:0). The defeats to Ipswich (1:2) and Bournemouth (0:1) are alarming. For a contender for a place in the top four, these are complete failures. And in general, it looks like Spurs can hardly claim the top four. In 14 rounds played, they have earned 20 points, with which they occupy a modest 11th place. There is a threat that they will not even be able to break into the top six, given the decent competition.
https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com target=_blank rel=noopener>Tottenham are also having little success at home. In their previous two home games, Ange Postecoglou men lost to Ispswich (1:2) and drew with Fulham (1:1).
Things are going well in the Europa League so far – ninth intermediate place. However, they failed to win in the last two rounds – an away defeat to Galatasaray (2:3) and a home draw with Roma (2:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Bentancur remains suspended, while Vicario, Romero, Odober, van de Ven, Richarlison and Moore are all out with injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Tottenham have failed to win in the first half in three of their last five matches
- Tottenham have not drawn in 12 of their last 13 Premier League matches
- Spurs' previous five home Premier League games have featured goals being exchanged
Probable line-up: Forster - Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Udoji - Sarr, Bissouma, Maddison - Johnson, Solanke, Son.
Current form
Chelsea last defeat dates back to October 30, when they lost 0-2 away to Newcastle in the League Cup. Since then, the Londoners have played seven matches in all competitions, winning five and drawing twice. The only ones to take points from them in this period were Manchester United and Arsenal, with whom they drew 1-1.
It is no surprise that Chelsea are second in the Premier League table given their recent success. They are seven points behind leaders Liverpool and only have a lead over Arsenal due to additional indicators. Enzo Maresca men had no problem beating Southampton away (5:1) this week and extended their winning streak in the Premier League to three matches.
Chelsea is unrivaled in the Conference League. The team has the maximum 12 points after four rounds. The difference in goals scored and conceded is impressive: 18-3. It should be noted that Enzo Maresca is clearly rotating the squad, fortunately, he has a large selection of players with whom he has already decided who and how to use. Plus, there is a decent fight for a place in the starting lineup.
Disqualifications and injuries
James, Fofana and Kellyman are injured and will not play today. Mudrik appearance on the field is in question.
Interesting trends for betting
- Chelsea have won in the first half in three of their last five matches in all competitions
- In eight of the aristocrats' previous nine Premier League matches, both teams have scored goals
- Chelsea have not lost in the second half in their last 11 Premier League games
Probable line-up: Sanchez - Gusto, Badiashile, Colville, Cucurella - Caicedo, Fernandez - Madueque, Palmer, Sancho - Jackson.

1.87Tip and bets
Tottenham have often surprised and won where no one expected them to do so this season. However, there is no particular faith in the success of the Spurs now, as they have won only once in the previous six matches in all tournaments. Plus, the hosts have significant problems with the squad, and there are no special opportunities for high-quality rotation. Chelsea are currently on the move, on a series of four victories in a row. In many ways, they are achieving success thanks to the precise rotation that Maresca skillfully carries out. We think that the “aristocrats” are able to confirm their status as favorites, which bookmakers assign to them.
Our prediction is Chelsea to win at odds of 2.10
Bet on total
The bookmakers' line includes the expectation of a productive game. However, it is worth paying attention to the fact that the derby often takes place in a tight fight, but without a large number of goals. Thus, in the ten previous face-to-face confrontations, only three times more than three goals were scored.
The second bet is total under 3.5 goals with odds of 2.00
Yellow Card Betting
Let also note a promising trend in yellow cards. In six of the last seven personal meetings on the Tottenham field in the Premier League, Chelsea players received more than two warnings. Accordingly, we recommend another option for betting on the match.
Prediction – Chelsea yellow cards total over 2.5 with odds of 1.67
