Chelsea v Southampton Match Preview

Chelsea will attempt to arrest their dismal run of form when they host Southampton in the Premier League on Tuesday evening.

A 2-1 defeat away to Aston Villa last weekend saw the Blues slide to seventh in the table after a third defeat in their past four league outings, and their Champions League hopes appear to be flagging.

But then again, the Blues’ downturn in form pales into insignificance when you consider Southampton are still stuck on nine points from 26 games, and they are hurtling towards the Championship.

The Saints have been doomed for some time, and a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of South Coast rivals Brighton did little to quash the residual angst.

At this point, pride is on the line for Southampton, but Chelsea won’t want to let their season peter out.

Ahead of the encounter, I have sprinkled my Chelsea v Southampton predictions with some value tips.

Chelsea to return to winning ways

There has been a lot to admire about Chelsea this term, especially in the first half of the campaign.

However, in 2025, the Blues have been the architects of their own downfall, and that was illustrated in their defeats to Brighton and Villa where they showed a soft underbelly.

Going forward, Chelsea haven’t had problems creating chances, and in Enzo Fernandez, they have a bright spark who can make things happen. 

Indeed, 12 goal involvements (four goals and eight assists) in his past 30 appearances in all competitions this term pays testament to this, and he’s been more productive compared to his previous 62 games for the West London outfit across the 2022/23 and 2023/24 campaigns combined (seven goals and five assists).

Southampton are trying to give it a right good go, but they just can’t stop the rot, and they have already conceded 61 goals this term.

Ivan Juric has tried to keep things tight with his man-to-man defensive system, but it has proved to be a catastrophic tactic.

It’s very difficult to make a case for the Saints to upset the applecart at Stamford Bridge, so for the first of my Chelsea Southampton predictions, I’m going with the Blues to win both halves. Paddy Power has weighed in with a short price of 7/5 for that outcome.

Southampton in for another tough evening

When Chelsea last faced Southampton back in December, the wind was in their sails and they ended up cruising to a 5-1 win to take them to second in the table.

Ok, things have fallen a bit flat since then, but this could be a great time to face the Premier League’s whipping boys.

A clean sheet is something that is desperately craved by Enzo Maresca, but it is something that has deserted the Blues since a drab goalless draw away to Everton just before the festive period.

Chelsea have tended to start games brightly, but then fade away. However, I think they will take the initiative and keep their foot firmly pressed on the accelerator against Southampton.
For the second of my picks, I’ve fixed my attention on the Correct Score line, and a 3-1 win for Chelsea seems tempting at 8/1 with Betano.
