On the other hand, Chelsea is surprising in the last two rounds. First, it lost in Liverpool to Everton, which is sixteenth in the standings. And the Blues lost to 14th Bournemouth at home. Well, okay, let’s write it off to the youth, the squad and the coach. Lampard lacks experience at the highest level. Besides, between these matches, Chelsea played against Lille in the Champions League, where it needed a victory to reach the playoffs. And Chelsea gained it. By the way, even two losses in the championship allow the Pensioners to take fourth place in the standings due to the reserve acquired earlier.
Seeking a winner in the London derby is a lost cause. But we can count on goals. Tottenham’s captain Harry Kane finally woke up. He has already scored nine goals in 16 matches of the championship. In general, the Spurs scored 32 goals in 17 rounds. But they conceded 24 goals at the same time. Chelsea’s goal difference is about the same - 31-25. The Blues played with Over 2.5 goals scored in 11 out of 17 rounds. Besides, they also played with this outcome in the last round of the Champions League group stage. The Spurs played with an abundance of goals in 13 matches of the championship. The last match in the Champions League was also lost with a big number of goals. The upcoming match will be uncompromising because the rivals are neighbors in the standings, and they will probably please the fans with at least three goals for two.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
