Tottenham vs. Chelsea: Match Prediction
Both teams are legitimate contenders for high positions this season. However, they lack stability, which has cost them valuable points. In this London derby, I slightly favor the visitors. Chelsea must learn from their recent disappointing defeat and approach this match with utmost focus.
Tottenham is dangerous, but curiously, mostly on the road. At home, they have been disappointing, managing only one win against modest Burnley in their last 7 Premier League games (1 draw and 5 losses). Enzo Maresca's side is likely to exploit this weakness. Notably, in their last 13 Premier League encounters, Tottenham has secured just 1 win (2 draws and 10 losses). Chelsea has emerged victorious in the last two seasons.
My prediction: Chelsea with a handicap (0)
