Southampton vs Chelsea Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Southampton continue to  be in good form but are down in eighth place and six points behind visitors Chelsea. The Saints earned an excellent draw at Manchester City last weekend but goals in the past few weeks have been a bit of a struggle with failure to score at Leicester in the Premier League and at both Hapeol Beer Sheva and Inter in the Europa League. They are depending a bit on Charlie Austin to be in scoring form and players like Long and Tadic need to get their scoring boots on. Chelsea had that fantastic 4-0 win at home to Manchester United last weekend and that's three league wins in a row with nine goals and none conceded. They might find it harder to score against a Southampton side especially away from home. I'm going for under 2.5 goals in this game as my prediction in what could be the typically tight Southampton match.
