My Prediction
Chelsea by 1Sounds like we've got a bit of rivalry on our hands, doesn’t it? Staring down the battlefield, we've got Chelsea locking horns with Tottenham Hotspur. Now, let's delve into the nitty-gritty.
Between the goalposts for Tottenham, you've got Guglielmo Vicario, boasting a respectable 7.25 rating with 8 saves to his name. Chelsea responds with Robert Sánchez, slightly shy with his 7.15 rating and 7 saves.
Turning our attention to the field, Tottenham's troops include Pape Matar Sarr with a 7.90 rating and a single goal under his belt. Also keep an eye on Ben Davies and Heung-min Son, impressing with their solid ratings and accurate pass percentages. Chelsea counters with Marc Cucurella and Moisés Caicedo, displaying impressive ratings and a knack for accurate passing. Hard to overlook Cucurella's goal and three shots on target.
Let's take a quick jaunt down memory lane. Past matchups between these two have seen enough goals to equal an annual office party. The last four have favored Chelsea with a 3-1 winning record, including a goals galore encounter with Chelsea plucking the Spurs 4-3.
By regular-season report cards, Chelsea leads again. Tottenham's got a 10-4-15 win-draw-loss under their belts, making them look more like a new math problem than a football team. Comparatively, Chelsea shows up with an impressive 14-7-8 record.
However, if we judge by recent form, life's not been a walk in the park for either of these fine establishments. Tottenham is fresh off a shutout loss to Fulham and has drawn last time at home against Bournemouth. Chelsea also tastes defeat in their last outing against Arsenal, but redeemed some honor with a victory over Leicester.
Add everything and stir, it's easy to see why Chelsea's favored. Nonetheless, I'd say victory could be leaning towards a slim advantage given the unbreakability of Tottenham's defensive platoon. Then again, what's football if not beautifully unpredictable?
