Southampton to score has 1.76 odds | Southampton have had some good results in the recent H2H against Chelsea at Stamford. Chelsea has won just 1 in last 6 at Stamford against Southampton. Surprisingly, Southampton has been better in away from home this season and are on a 4 match BTTS streak. Chelsea, meanwhile, has seen BTTS in their last 10 home games.
The kind of game Cole Palmer shows up. Agree with the predicted score.
Away team to score
Chelsea Win
over 1.5 first half goals
@IanWright This happens so rare, not worth it. Win/draw bets halftimes definitely more +EV.
@MOCKBA Agreed
