Southampton vs Chelsea Predictions: Bet Blues and Over December 4

After a very rocky start, Chelsea is now in the English Premier League top three with exactly the same numbers as Manchester City. No wonder the Blues are heavily favored -298 for midweek’s clash against Southampton.

Well, the Saints’ being dead last also has a lot to do with that, and in case you’re wondering, they offer a +766 price. Let’s see if they can at least make Chelsea suffer or if it will be a walk in the park for the Blues, who have been one of the best EPL picks in recent weeks!

Top 2 Picks for Southampton vs Chelsea

1. Handicap Pick: Chelsea (-102)

Listen, if you like to keep things simple, go ahead and include Chelsea’s moneyline in your soccer picks. Not even Dr. Strange can see a future in which the Blues lose to Southampton. I mean, the Saints only won one of their last 10 EPL games, and it was against Everton, a team closer to the relegation zone than the top 10.

On the other hand, the Blues haven’t lost in their last six games in all competitions. Most recently, they had no trouble fulfilling their role as favorites against Aston Villa and won 3-0. That’s right, three goals against Emiliano Martinez, who less than a month ago won Best Goalkeeper on the planet. Come on!

Per Southampton vs Chelsea betting trends, of their last five games, the Blues won three with at least a two-goal advantage, including an 8-0 victory over FC Noah in the UEFA Conference League. At this point of the season, I would say FC Noah and Southampton are very similar.

Having two explosive players like Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson has a lot to do with the Blues’ current success. Both are among the league’s top scorers with eight goals each, and Palmer is also among the leaders in assists with six.

As if that weren’t enough, the Blues will be facing the third-worst defensive unit in the EPL. Southampton has conceded 25 goals in 13 games. Only Wolverhampton and Leicester City have conceded more, with 32 and 27, respectively.

No matter where you look at it, the Blues have everything in their favor to win on Wednesday and are the play for Premier League predictions.

Bet This Pick: Chelsea -1.5 (-102)

2. Game Total Over 3.5 (+112)

I’m just gonna say it: I expect Chelsea to show no mercy and crush Southampton. I mean, the Blues are highly motivated and Southampton is basically doomed after only winning one of its first 13 games.

Regardless of the online betting lines, Chelsea only lost one of its last five road games in all competitions and three of the last 10. That’s not bad for a team that struggled a bit at the beginning of the season.

Most recently, the Blues took care of business in Germany by defeating Heidenheim 2-0 in the UCL. Christopher Nkunku and Mykhailo Mudryk were the scorers. Summing up, Chelsea’s attacking unit is scary!

That, combined with the fact that Southampton conceded 2+ goals in three of its last four games at home, makes me think the game total will go over. I like Chelsea winning 3-1 to keep the momentum going in EPL betting predictions.

Bet This Pick: Southampton vs Chelsea Game Team Total Over 3.5 (+117)
