Southampton take on the visitors Chelsea in the round 32 match of English Premier League. The match will be played om Saturday, April 9th at St. Mary's Stadium (Southampton)
Southampton seems to have decided that it is possible to finish the season at idle. A new, ambitious and very rich investor from Serbia has appeared. So far, he has not thrown money at newcomers, but has appointed a new CEO, Rasmus Ankresen. It is the Dane who is considered the main architect of drastic progress, Brentford, and new curious signatures are expected from him, already for the saints. And Ralph Hazenhuttl with the usual clip is quite capable of finishing in the traditional place in the middle of the standings. By and large, this task has already been solved. Last Saturday on the field of Leeds due to the goal of the leader, Ward-Prouse, Soton managed to draw on the road 1-1.

Chelsea is currently in a serious crisis. In general, the season turned out worse than expected (buying Lukaku for a record amount, clearly aimed to fight for the title in the Premier League) and after a pause for national team matches everything went wrong. A symbol of failure was Benzema's 3rd goal on Wednesday in the quarterfinals of the Champions League - without much pressure, Edouard Mandy made a terrible mistake, giving pass too weak to Rüdiger. As a result, hopes to break the game were dashed, and Real Madrid comfortably won 3-1. But it is worth remembering that before that there was an even bigger defeat at Stamford Bridge to a modest newcomer, Brentford. Eriksen and company won 4-1. Will the coaching staff be able to understand the reasons for the mistakes and correct them by Saturday?
In the last 4 matches within the Premier League, the teams have a tie - the 1st victory each and 2 draws. However, Chelsea also won the League Cup match in October, but only in the penalty shootout. Southampton will definitely not have Lanco and McCarthy is questionable. Chelsea will traditionally not have Chillwell and Hudson-Odoi. Bookmakers believe that at least now Chelsea should win. But, taking into account the mistakes of the defense of the blues it’s safer to count on another high-scoring result.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored.
