Southampton vs Chelsea Bet Builder Tips & Predictions – Home Victory Wait goes on for Saints

Southampton vs Chelsea bet builder tips and match predictions for Tuesday’s Premier League clash including two shots on target tips.

Southampton welcome Chelsea to St Mary’s as they seek their first home victory of the new Premier League season. The visitors have had a mixed start to their campaign, winning two, drawing one and losing one – a thumping 3-0 defeat at the hands of Leeds United.

 

Southampton vs Chelsea Bet Builder Tips

• Chelsea to win
• Over 5.5 Chelsea corners
• Raheem Sterling 1+ shot on target
• Che Adams 1+ shot on target

ODDS – 6/1 with Paddy Power

 

Chelsea to win

Thomas Tuchels side recovered well after their defeat to Leeds, as they defeated Crystal Palace last time out, despite having 10 men. Southampton lost last time out at home to Manchester United, and I expect a similar outcome in this one, with Chelsea looking for consecutive wins for the first time this season.

 

Over 6 Chelsea corners

Chelsea average eight corners a game in the Premier League this season. In all but one of their opening fixtures, they have had over six corners, including 16 in their opening day victory away to Everton. I expect them to dominate this game and have at least six corners.

 

Raheem Sterling 1+ shot on target

Sterling opened his Chelsea account last time out with two goals in their victory over Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge. He will be full of confidence coming into this one, and I expect him to have at least one effort on target against a Southampton side who will be stretched by Chelsea on several occasions throughout the match.

 

Che Adams 1+ shot on target

Scotland international Adams is no stranger to a goal, with two in the opening four games of this season. He averages 1.63 shots on target in every game and has had four on target so far this campaign. He is likely to start the game as Southampton’s only striker, and with this being a home fixture, the Saints should have chances. I expect Adams to have a shot on target should he be leading the line.
