Tottenham vs Chelsea predictions for Thursday’s Premier League London derby at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Can Spurs overcome their run of two defeats in a row and get the three points against a rejuvenated Chelsea team? Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
Tottenham searching for a win
Spurs are in a poor period as they lost their last two matches and dropped to the sixth position after being title contenders a month ago when they were leading the Premier League.
They have lost any chance of winning the title as they are 11 points behind the leaders Manchester City, with 33 points and six points behind the final Champion League place.
Jose Mourinho will be worried about the loss of Harry Kane due to injury last week. Dele Ali, Lo Celso, and Reguillon are also missing, Gareth Bale may have a rare start for this match.
Chelsea to build on their last win
Chelsea had their first win under new coach Thomas Turkel. It was a 2-0 home win against Burnley and The Blues will want to take that as a beginning of a winning streak to take them back to top four finish.
That win came after just two victories from their last six league matches. The German coach knows his team will need some new reinforcements in the summer transfer market but he has to get the best out of his current squad first.
Key Stats
Tottenham vs Chelsea Prediction
Both teams need to win this game to push for a top four finish and qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season as that is the least of their ambitions every season.
Our prediction for this match is that both teams will create enough chances to score, although Tottenham has played defensively against the top six teams and like to attack the counter, Chelsea on the other hand likes to keep possession of the ball and create chances on their own.
