Southampton is coming off a perfectly okay effort. At home against Man United, they were good, for most of the game. But it still wasn't enough. Just like against Tottenham in the premiere, it was a defeat. However, the loss was narrow as Bruno Fernandes scored the only goal of the match. The manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has every game got the team in order, more and more. The form is good enough to challenge most teams for points. Manager Thomas Tuchel had to sit on the linker and watch his Chelsea take a victory last time. They managed to bounce back immediately after the loss against Leeds United. It started badly with Conor Gallagher sent off, after two yellow cards, after 28 minutes. With one man less, it was still a 2-1 victory, with Raheem Sterling scoring both of the team's goals. Goalkeeper Edouard Mendy made up for his mistake against Leeds United in the previous game by being the safety himself. Chelsea has a strong defense but needs to be more clinical in the final third. They still didn't sign a proper striker, Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku left the club so Tuchel is playing without a natural striker. The feeling is, however, that it has loosened and that Sterling may be the right man in the right place. Mason Mount with 11 goals and 10 assists from last season, has also not found top form. Despite winning here 6-0 last season I think Southampton players will give their best not to be embarrassed again and I believe they won't lose this game by 2 goals difference. Chelsea is a big favorite here but they didn't shine in their previous game so +1.5 on Southampton in their stadium looks like a logical option.

My prediction;

Outcome: Southampton +1.5 Asian handicap

南安普顿队的表现非常好。在主场对阵曼联的比赛中，他们大部分时间都表现出色。但这仍然不够。就像首场对阵托特纳姆热刺一样，这是一场失败。然而，由于布鲁诺费尔南德斯打进了比赛的唯一进球，失利很小。经理 Ralph Hasenhuttl 每场比赛都让球队变得井井有条，越来越多。这种形式足以挑战大多数球队的积分。经理托马斯图赫尔不得不坐在链接器上，看着他的切尔西队上一次取得胜利。在输给利兹联后，他们设法立即反弹。开局很糟糕，康纳·加拉格在 28 分钟后两张黄牌被罚下。少了一个人，这仍然是一场 2-1 的胜利，拉希姆·斯特林打进了球队的两个进球。守门员爱德华·门迪（Edouard Mendy）在上一场比赛中与利兹联队的比赛中自己担任安全卫来弥补他的错误。切尔西有强大的防守，但需要在进攻三区更加冷静。他们仍然没有签下合适的前锋，蒂莫·维尔纳和罗梅卢·卢卡库离开了俱乐部，所以图赫尔在没有天生前锋的情况下踢球。然而，人们的感觉是，它已经放松了，斯特林可能是正确的人在正确的地方。上赛季打进11球10助攻的梅森芒特也没有找到最佳状态。尽管上赛季在这里以 6-0 获胜，但我认为南安普顿球员会尽最大努力不要再尴尬，我相信他们不会以 2 球的差距输掉这场比赛。切尔西是这里的大热门，但他们在上一场比赛中并没有表现出色，所以选择南安普顿看起来是一个合乎逻辑的选择。

预测：南安普顿
