Chelsea - Tottenham prediction, H2H and probable lineups - April 3, 2025
The 30th round of the English Championship will be played on Thursday at Stamford Bridge, where local Chelsea will host Tottenham. I suggest a bet on the outcome of this clash with a good coefficient.
Match preview
The Londoners wisely took advantage of the calendar's favor, which granted them two consecutive home games against teams from the bottom of the standings. In these matches, they thrashed Southampton (4-0) and narrowly defeated Leicester (1-0). However, away from home, the team failed to build on this success, losing in the derby to Arsenal (0-1).
Enzo Maresca's squad's form in 2024 leaves much to be desired, but they still hold a Champions League spot. However, their lead over the nearest pursuer has shrunk to just one point, and any further slip-up could cost them fourth place. In their last 13 Premier League matches, Chelsea has secured only four wins, drawn three times, and left the field empty-handed six times.
Ange Postecoglou's team continues to stall in the Premier League, not tasting victory for three consecutive rounds. A home defeat to Manchester City (0-1), a missed victory against Bournemouth (2-2), and a toothless away game against Fulham (0-2) have led to the Londoners dropping to 14th place. They are now 13 points away from the European competition zone, so any hopes of competing for high places are gone.
The only bright spot is their attack. The Spurs have already scored 55 goals, with only Liverpool scoring more in the EPL. However, without a reliable defense, this is clearly not enough: the team has failed to win in 10 of their last 13 league matches (two draws, eight losses). In 14 away matches, the team has secured only five wins with eight losses.
Probable lineups
- Chelsea: Robert Sanchez, Levi Colwill, Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella, Benoit Badiashile, Reece James, Moises Caicedo, Pedro Neto, Enzo Fernandez, Jadon Sancho, Christopher Nkunku
- Tottenham: Guglielmo Vicario, Ben Davies, Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie, Djed Spence, Rodrigo Bentancur, Archie Gray, Yves Bissouma, Mathys Tel, Brennan Johnson, Dominic Solanke

Prediction
Bookmakers favor the "Blues" in this matchup and offer odds of 1.67 for a Chelsea victory. Chelsea hasn't lost to the "Spurs" at home in six matches, securing four wins in this stretch. We suggest taking "Chelsea to win" with a coefficient of 1.67 here.
