Chelsea host Tottenham on Tuesday, May 19 at 4:15 PM ET / 3:15 PM CT / 1:15 PM PT at Stamford Bridge. Spurs arrive needing only a point to seal Premier League safety on points after West Ham’s 3-1 defeat at Newcastle on Sunday left the Hammers on 36 with one game to play; Chelsea are still chasing the lower European places.
Our Chelsea vs Tottenham prediction starts with the form table, not the league table. Chelsea sit 9th on 49 points and Tottenham 17th on 38, but the Blues have not won in the league since a 4-1 day out at Aston Villa on 4 March, and Spurs go to Stamford Bridge two points clear of the relegation zone — which, per the Premier League relegation odds, still has them as the shortest-priced 17th-placed survivor on the board, but not by enough to draw a deep breath.
bet365 still makes Chelsea the favorite at +100, with the visitors out at +240 and the draw at +270. The market is leaning on the long-term head-to-head — Chelsea have won eight of the last 10 league meetings — but our angle is that the short-term form gap is too wide for that price to ignore.
Chelsea vs Tottenham: Best Bets & Predictions
Our approach for this one starts from the draw and works outward. Both teams have drawn their most recent match, both attacks have been functioning, both defenses have been leaking — the price on the draw rewards the read.
| Our Prediction | Odds & Sportsbook | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Draw | +270 @ bet365 (27.0%) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Chelsea winless in seven; Spurs unbeaten in four. Both teams drew their most recent fixture. Spurs played out 1-1s against Leeds and Liverpool already this run. |
| Correct Score: 2-2 | +1200 @ bet365 (7.7%) | ⭐⭐ | Joao Pedro and Richarlison both arrive in form. Two leaky backlines, two strikers each with double-figure goals — 2-2 is the natural draw shape. |
| Richarlison to Score Anytime | +175 @ bet365 (36.4%) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 10 goals in 31 appearances and 7.31 xG. Chelsea have conceded eight at home across their last four Stamford Bridge defeats. |
| Over 2.5 Goals | -175 @ bet365 (63.6%) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Chelsea’s last four at home have produced 1-3, 0-1, 0-3 and 0-1 scorelines, and Spurs have scored in 11 of their last 12 league outings. |
| Both Teams to Score: Yes | -200 @ bet365 (66.7%) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Chelsea have scored in six of their seven winless games; Spurs in eight of their last 10. Joao Pedro and Richarlison both arrive among the goals. |
Our approach: anchor with BTTS Yes at -200 as the volume play, add Richarlison anytime for value on a Spurs side hitting form. The Draw price is the standalone value bet — pair it with the 2-2 correct score for the parlay add.

Season Form & Standings
The Premier League table tells one story; the form table tells another. Chelsea are 11 points above Spurs on the season but have collected one point from a possible 21. Tottenham, 17th and only two clear of the drop, have stitched together their best run of the year just as Chelsea have fallen apart.
| Team | Pos | GP | W | D | L | GF | GA | GD | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chelsea | 9 | 36 | 13 | 10 | 13 | 55 | 49 | +6 | 49 |
| Tottenham | 17 | 36 | 9 | 11 | 16 | 46 | 55 | -9 | 38 |
Potential Match-Winners
- Joao Pedro (Chelsea): 15 goals and five assists in 34 appearances, with 8.14 xG and 28 shots on target — Chelsea’s most reliable threat and their best chance of breaking the winless run.
- Richarlison (Tottenham): 10 goals and four assists in 31 appearances, 7.31 xG, and the cleanest finisher Spurs have. Faces a Chelsea defense that has shipped eight across the last four Stamford Bridge defeats.
- Pedro Neto (Chelsea): Five goals, four assists and 11 big chances created in 32 appearances — the supply line Chelsea will lean on if Joao Pedro is to get into the right areas.
- Pedro Porro (Tottenham): 2.98 xA and six big chances created in 32 appearances, with one goal and two assists. Spurs’ main creator from right-back, and the supply line they will need with their senior attacking-midfielder options thin.
Head-to-Head
Chelsea have dominated this fixture in the Premier League era — eight wins from the last 10, with Tottenham’s only victory in that span coming back in November 2025 in the reverse fixture at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Recent Form
Chelsea — L L L L D
- May 9, 2026: Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea (D, away)
- May 4, 2026: Chelsea 1-3 Nottingham Forest (L, home)
- Apr 21, 2026: Brighton 3-0 Chelsea (L, away)
- Apr 18, 2026: Chelsea 0-1 Manchester United (L, home)
- Apr 12, 2026: Chelsea 0-3 Manchester City (L, home)
Chelsea are winless in seven Premier League matches, the last victory a 4-1 away day at Aston Villa on 4 March. The Liverpool draw at Anfield was their first point in six attempts and still came after the Reds led the shot count — the only reason this is not a seven-game losing run.
Tottenham — L D W W D
- May 11, 2026: Tottenham 1-1 Leeds (D, home)
- May 3, 2026: Aston Villa 1-2 Tottenham (W, away)
- Apr 25, 2026: Wolves 0-1 Tottenham (W, away)
- Apr 18, 2026: Tottenham 2-2 Brighton (D, home)
- Apr 12, 2026: Sunderland 1-0 Tottenham (L, away)
Spurs are unbeaten in four, the last defeat a 1-0 loss at Sunderland on 12 April. The Leeds draw at home dropped two points they could badly have used, but two narrow road wins on the spin at Villa Park and Molineux say a great deal about what this side can do when survival is at stake — and survival is exactly what is at stake.
Chelsea vs Tottenham Prediction
The market is pricing the long-term H2H. We are pricing the form table. Both can be true in May, but only one moves this match — and Chelsea have given us no reason to back a side that has not won in two months and lost their last four at home. The Draw at +270 with bet365 is the cleanest read; pair it with BTTS Yes if you want a higher-confidence add. Kickoff is 4:15 PM ET at Stamford Bridge.
