The Premier League Matchday 30 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 took full advantage of 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, playing away, lost to their city rivals Arsenal (0-1). Despite the lackluster results this calendar year, Enzo Maresca's men remain in fourth place in the standings, but now only one point separates them from their closest competitor in the battle for a Champions League finish.
- In their last 13 Premier League matches, Chelsea has secured just four victories (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 four consecutive home matches in the league.
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 due to a failed doping test.
Tottenham
Ange Postecoglou's side has been unable to win in the league for three matches. First, the team lost at home to Manchester City (0-1) and drew with Bournemouth (2-2), then away, they were defeated by Fulham (0-2). The Londoners have dropped to 14th place in the standings and no longer contend for even a spot in the European competitions, trailing by 13 points. However, it's worth noting the team's attack, which has scored 55 goals. Only Liverpool has scored more in the Premier League.
- The club has failed to win 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 in the second half in 9 of their last 10 away Premier 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 Dragusin is out for the rest of the year due to injury.

Chelsea vs. Tottenham: Match Prediction
A short two-week break should help Chelsea recover, and the team's coach can motivate his players for the season's finish. Since the beginning of the year, Enzo Maresca's side has gradually started to falter, dropping points even in matches against clubs from the lower half of the table. In March, the team looked better, and the club's injury list has noticeably shortened, so I expect nothing less than a victory from the hosts in the upcoming match.
Moreover, Chelsea currently boasts four consecutive wins at Stamford Bridge in the league. The opponents were from the lower parts of the table, and Tottenham is no longer even a mid-table team. Chelsea has won the last three head-to-head Premier League encounters. Additionally, in the last six consecutive meetings at this stadium, the hosts have not lost to their city rivals Tottenham (4 wins and 2 draws).
My prediction – Chelsea to Win
