Chelsea welcomes Southampton at the "Stamford Bridge" in a meeting of the 29th round of the Premier League. The match is on Sunday - March 15, 2015, and Chief Judge will be Mike Dean. The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 1.62 for a home win, with a draw at 4.00 and 6.50 for the victory of the guests.
Chelsea was knocked out of the Champions League after a great drama in the week against the French PSG. Jose Mourinho`s boys dropped out after a draw of 2:2 after extra time. So, now Chelsea remains to fight in the Premier League, where there is a gap of 5 points ahead of Manchester City and a game in hand. In the upcoming match against Southampton, blues from London will try to erase the unpleasant memories of Wednesday night with a good game and win. The only absent in the camp of Chelsea is the defensive midfielder John Obi Mikel, who is injured. Jose Mourinho is unlikely to make major changes in the composition. Juan Cuadrado can start the game on the place of weakness against PSG - Ramires.
Southampton recorded first win in the last 4 games against Crystal Palace (1:0) in the previous round. After this negative series of matches, Saints slumped to seventh place, but still have a chance to attack the Top 4. For the visit to "Stamford Bridge", Ronald Koeman will not be able to rely on permanently injured Emmanuel Mayuka and Jay Rodriguez. Toby Alderweireld, who was reserve in the previous round will begin holder next to the captain Jose Fonte in central defense. In attack Koeman will rely on his top scorer Graziano Pelle and from behind will include Sadio Mane, Dusan Tadic and Filip ?uricic.
Chelsea will be very ambitious to take three points and make it up to his fans for dropping by PSG. This fact and the weak form of Southampton recently make the host a serious favorite to win the match.
Recommended bet: For Chelsea @ 1.62 at bet365
