Tottenham vs Chelsea Betting Tips

Tottenham started a new season in the Premier League with just four points from three matches. In the first round, they lost 1-0 at home against Everton. After that came the first win, 5-2 on the road vs Southampton. Last weekend, Tottenham played 1-1 in London against Newcastle. This team also plays in the Europa League qualifications, where they won two rounds, 2-1 vs Lokomotiv Plovdiv and 3-1 against Shkendija. What is more than obvious is that Tottenham has enormous problems in defense. They allowed at least one goal in every game in the 2020-21 season.

Jose Mourinho is aware of defensive lapses, so in the last few days, there is a news that Tottenham is interested in the Kim-min Jae, 23 years old South Korean, who could move to Europe from the Beijing Guoan. Milan Skriniar is another defender who is linked with Tottenham this autumn. On the other hand, Tottenham's attack is too strong with Harry Kane, Heung-Min Son, and Delle Alli upfront, so they already scored 11 goals in the new season.

Chelsea started the 2020-21 season with also four points from the three Premier League rounds. In the opening round, they won 3-1 on the road against Brighton. After that came a 2-0 loss at Stamford Bridge vs Liverpool. Last weekend, Chelsea played 3-3 on the road against WBA. Chelsea also had one game in the EFL Cup, where they won 6-0 vs Barnsley. Chelsea also has defensive problems, as they conceded six goals in three Premier League fixtures. It seems that Chelsea will try to sign John Stones until the end of this transfer window. On the other hand, like Tottenham, Chelsea doesn't have any problems with scoring goals, as they already scored 12 goals in all competitions in the 2020-21 season.

Tottenham vs Chelsea Correct Score Predictions

I think that both teams should score in this EFL Cup game. Both Tottenham and Chelsea have strong attacks and bad defenses. My bet for this game is both teams to score, and my prediction is a 2-1 win for Chelsea.
