Chelsea vs Tottenham Prediction

• Where: Stamford Bridge, London, England
• When: Saturday, July 14, 5:30 PM ET

Round 2 of the English Premier League has one massive derby coming up. Chelsea hosts Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge and knowing the rivalry between these two sides and their ambitions this season, this should be a very interesting game to see. The Blues are currently in a turbulent period, with lots of changes in their roster. Meanwhile, the Spurs are looking pretty good, with Antonio Conte slowly putting all the pieces of the puzzle in their place.

Chelsea vs. Tottenham Hotspur Preview

Chelsea

The Blues opened the season with a win in Liverpool against Everton at Goodison Park. It was a minimal victory, 0-1, with the only goal coming from the penalty kick converted by Jorginho. It was in the stoppage time of the first half, and it kinda shocked the hosts.

Though, we have to say that the boys from London didn’t look quite confident in this event. Everton had its period of domination, during which Chelsea looked pretty inferior, making mistakes and allowing the rivals to create dangerous situations in front of Mendy’s net. Throughout the entire preseason period, the Blues had problems and struggled to provide consistency.

The latest turbulences in the team are coming following Timo Werner’s departure. The German got back to RB Leipzig, and this was a stunning move of the management and Thomas Tuchel. Nobody expected the see the pacey German at the exit doors.

Tottenham

Kane, Son, and the boys smashed Southampton in the opening round. After conceding the opening goal, the Spurs shifted into a higher gear, creating chaos in the Saints’ defense, flipping the result upside down until halftime.

Until the end of 90 minutes, they packed two more goals, and the game concluded 4-1 for the home team, whose physical shape looked impeccably. We really believe that Conte’s crew is among the best in the league in terms of fitness.

Regarding their play, the Spurs aren’t behaving like in the previous years, mostly relying upon counter-attacks. Opposite that, this unit is pressuring the rivals, with the ball in their possession. So, that is a big change.

Chelsea vs. Tottenham Head to Head

These two sides met four times in the previous season. Believe it or not, Chelsea won in all four games without a goal conceded. On the other side, the Blues scored eight throughout those four contests.

Chelsea vs. Tottenham Prediction

This is a new situation, with both teams enduring massive changes since the previous meeting. Tottenham looks really solid, while Chelsea experiences some turbulences, and that definitely isn’t reflecting well upon the Blues. Tuchel strengthened the back line, yet the latest development with Werner signals that things aren’t right in the locker room. Our pick here would be for the guests to stay unbeaten, that is a double chance, Tottenham or draw, with the odds here being very solid.

Our verdict: Tottenham or Draw
