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.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u2014 which, per the Premier League relegation odds<\/a>, still has them as the shortest-priced 17th-placed survivor on the board, but not by enough to draw a deep breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u2014 Chelsea have won eight of the last 10 league meetings \u2014 but our angle is that the short-term form gap is too wide for that price to ignore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea vs Tottenham: Best Bets & Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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 \u2014 the price on the draw rewards the read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Prediction<\/th>\nOdds & Sportsbook<\/th>\nConfidence<\/th>\nWhy We’re Backing It<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Draw<\/strong><\/td>\n+270 @ bet365<\/strong><\/a>
(27.0%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nChelsea 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.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Correct Score: 2-2<\/strong><\/td>\n+1200 @ bet365<\/strong><\/a>
(7.7%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nJoao Pedro and Richarlison both arrive in form. Two leaky backlines, two strikers each with double-figure goals \u2014 2-2 is the natural draw shape.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Richarlison<\/strong> to Score Anytime<\/td>\n+175 @ bet365<\/strong><\/a>
(36.4%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\n10 goals in 31 appearances and 7.31 xG. Chelsea have conceded eight at home across their last four Stamford Bridge defeats.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Over 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n-175 @ bet365<\/strong><\/a>
(63.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nChelsea’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.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both Teams to Score: Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n-200 @ bet365<\/strong><\/a>
(66.7%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nChelsea 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.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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 \u2014 pair it with the 2-2 correct score for the parlay add.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n

Season Form & Standings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
