Chelsea take on the visitors Southampton at “Stamford Bridge” in the matchday 18 of the English Premier League. The game will be played in London on Saturday, December 16th.
Chelsea demonstrate a great form now. Despite a loss in the pre-last fight, the team is staying focused and holds the third position in the Premier League standings. In total Antonio Conte’s side has 35 points earned after 17 rounds played. It’s also worth mentioning that “The Pensioners” show quite solid defense. Chelsea fail at their own turf very rarely, having beaten Newcastle Utd 3:1, Swansea 1:0 and Manchester United 1:0 in the recent home battles.

Meanwhile, at the moment Southampton stay in not their best shape. The team has been losing points in four latest clashes in a row, having eventually dropped to the 11th place in the table. All in all, the club picked up 18 points in 17 games conducted. Southampton’s weak point is their performance at away fields as they have been broken 1:2 by Manchester City as well as 0:3 by Liverpool and deserved 1:1 draw against Bournemouth in the recent clashes on the road.
Chelsea have lost to Southampton at their own turf only twice in their history. The visitors slowed down remarkably in the latest fights which cannot be applied to Chelsea, thus, I expect the hosting side to get a confident win in the forthcoming clash.
Prediction for the match: Chelsea to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
