On February 26, Tottenham Hotspur (London) will host the match of the 25th round of the English Premier League, in which Tottenham will compete with Chelsea. The battle will start at 14:30 CET.
Tottenham
The team received Antonio Conte as coach at the peak of the previous season. And the Italian specialist, as it often happens, gave a quick and noticeable result, raising “the Spurs” to the 4th position. Still, it is not in vain that “the Godfather” rarely stays at the same place for a long time. And nowadays, the performance of his current wards turns out to be controversial. On the one hand, “the Hotspurs” have recently taken a victory in the battle against Manchester City. But after that, the London giants lost with a devastating 1-4 score to Leicester. Moreover, the play-offs of the Champions League began with the away defeat made by Milan. And only the struggle with West Ham brought a confident grandmaster 2-0 success.
Chelsea
The club cannot really find “the bottom”, where it can fall to. It’s okay to lose in Dortmund to Borussia, especially taking into account that the British team had a lot of chances there, and the Germans succeeded by means of a quick counterattack. But after that, the previous round of the Premier League brought to “the Aristocrats” the defeat made by Southampton, the weakest team of the division, which had lost in 9 out of 10 last rounds! And once again, the team demonstrated the impotence in attack, because there was no response to Ward-Prowse’s goal. That time there were changes in the line-ups, where Mudryk lost his place in the first-team choice. Nevertheless, nothing changed, and the game ended with a 0-1 score. It seems that only the club management believes in Graham Potter and his potential, which is similar to the situation with Arsenal and its coach, Arteta. Still, there is a hope to win as fast as possible – right now.
The statistics of head-to-head matches
Chelsea has won 5 official matches. There could have happened the sixth one, but Tuchel’s wards, leading in score in August (1-0 and 2-1), conceded an “equalizing” goal in the 6th added minute of the game.
Predictions
Bookmakers consider the chances of the opponents to be approximately equal. At the same time, Chelsea looks completely unconvincing – thus, we bet on the victory of Tottenham with “a 0 goal handicap” (odd: 1.89).
