Why bet on Tottenham?
Tottenham had hoped to be much higher in the standings at this point in the season but currently sits in 10th place with 20 points. They have the same number of wins and losses (6), along with two ties. They are 15 points behind Liverpool, the Premier League leaders, a position the Spurs aspire to reach.
This week, they fell 1-0 to Bournemouth, continuing to show inconsistency. They can go from defeating Aston Villa 4-1 and Manchester City 0-4 to losing at home to Ipswich (1-2), falling to Bournemouth (1-0), and drawing with Fulham (1-1) in their stadium.
Their offensive (28 goals) and defensive (15 goals conceded) stats are solid, but the inconsistency lies in scoring a significant number of goals in certain matches while managing to keep a clean sheet in only three games.
Brennan Johnson is the team’s top scorer with six goals, but players like Heung-min Son and James Maddison have been the most influential and pivotal for the team, alongside defenders Cristian Romero and Pedro Porro.
However, Romero is currently sidelined due to injury, as are Guglielmo Vicario, Richarlison, and Mickey van de Ven. Additionally, Rodrigo Bentancur is suspended.
Why bet on Chelsea?
Chelsea seems to have come back to life, recalling their glory days. They sit second with 28 points after eight wins, four draws, and two losses. However, they trail the league leaders, Liverpool, by seven points. They are coming off a 5-1 thrashing to Southampton with goals from Axel Disasi, Christopher Nkunku, Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer, and Jadon Sancho.
With 31 goals, the Blues boasts the best attack in the Premier league, with two players standing out in particular: Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson. The Englishman has nine goals and six assists, leading the team in both categories, while the Senegalese player ranks second in both with eight goals and three assists. Defensively, Enzo Maresca’s side has also been strong, with 15 goals conceded, the third-best record in the league.
Chelsea is currently on a six-game unbeaten streak, including four wins, three of which have been consecutive. In their last three matches, they’ve scored ten goals. Away from home, they have five wins, one draw, and one loss.
The only injured players are Reece James and Wesley Fofana, two usual guests in the recovery room.
