The Matchday 30 Premier League clash between Chelsea and Tottenham will take place on April 3 at Stamford Bridge in London. Chelsea vs. Tottenham: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Chelsea
The Londoners capitalized well on their schedule, which presented them with two consecutive home matches against Premier League outsiders: they thrashed Southampton (4-0) and overcame Leicester (1-0). However, in their last league outing, the club lost away to their city rivals Arsenal (0-1). Despite unimpressive results this calendar year, Enzo Maresca's side remains in fourth place in the standings, now just one point ahead of their closest competitor in the battle for a Champions League spot.
- In the last 13 Premier League matches, Chelsea has secured only four wins (3 draws and 6 losses).
- No more than three goals have been scored in 5 of Chelsea's last 6 Premier League games.
- The team has won their last four home league matches.
Predicted lineup for Chelsea (4-2-3-1)
Robert Sanchez – Levi Colwill, Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella, Benoit Badiashile – Reece James, Moises Caicedo – Pedro Neto, Enzo Fernandez, Jadon Sancho – Christopher Nkunku.
Midfielder Omari Kellyman is out due to injury. Forward Mykhailo Mudryk continues to serve a suspension for a failed doping test.
Tottenham
Ange Postecoglou's side has been unable to secure a win in the league for three matches. First, they lost at home to Manchester City (0-1) and drew with Bournemouth (2-2), then were defeated away by Fulham (0-2). The Londoners have dropped to 14th in the standings and are no longer contenders for even a Europa League spot, trailing by 13 points. However, their attack remains noteworthy, having scored 55 goals, with only Liverpool scoring more in the Premier League.
- The club has not won 10 of their last 13 league matches (2 draws and 8 losses).
- Tottenham has a 13-match uncompromising away streak in the Premier League (5 wins and 8 losses).
- The team has not lost the second half in 9 of their last 10 away league games (4 wins and 5 draws).
Predicted lineup for Tottenham (4-3-3)
Guglielmo Vicario – Ben Davies, Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie, Djed Spence – Rodrigo Bentancur, Archie Gray, Yves Bissouma – Mathys Tel, Brennan Johnson, Dominic Solanke.
Defender Radu Drăgușin is out for the rest of the year due to injury.

Chelsea vs. Tottenham: Match Prediction
A two-week break should help Chelsea recover, and the team's coach can prepare his players for the season's end. Since the start of the year, Enzo Maresca's side has gradually declined, dropping points even against clubs from the lower half of the standings. In March, the team looked better, and the injury list has shortened significantly, so I expect nothing less than a victory from the hosts in the upcoming match.
Moreover, Chelsea has four consecutive home victories in the league. Their opponents were from the lower end of the table, and Tottenham is no longer even a mid-table team. Chelsea has won the last three Premier League encounters against Tottenham. Additionally, they have not lost to their city rivals at Stamford Bridge in six consecutive Premier League meetings (4 wins and 2 draws).
My prediction – Chelsea to win
