Tottenham face huge odds against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge

Tottenham grabbed their first league win of the season but now face a tough trip to Stamford Bridge.

Written by the BettingEdgeHub desk, 22 October 2026

Tottenham finally secured their first league win of the campaign by beating Coventry City three to one on Monday. James Maddison scored a brilliant long range goal on his first start since May. Omar Marmoush also netted his first goal for the club and Ben Davies scored late to seal the points. The victory ended a long run without scoring three goals in a single league match.

Chelsea hold the psychological edge

Punters looking at the weekend market will notice that Chelsea are strong favourites for this London derby. Chelsea have won each of the last six league meetings against Tottenham. Furthermore, Tottenham have won only one of their last thirty six league visits to Stamford Bridge. The supercomputer simulations give Chelsea a win probability of over fifty three percent.

Defensive frailties for both sides

Xabi Alonso has seen his Chelsea team win against Everton last weekend to keep a rare clean sheet. However, their defensive metrics this season leave plenty to be desired. They have conceded thirteen goals and let opponents register forty one shots on target. Punters might expect goals at both ends given these defensive numbers.

Market implications for Saturday

Tottenham head across London trying to avoid losing seven league derbies in a row. Their recent win shortened some prices for their players, but history makes them massive underdogs with bookmakers. Chelsea want to claim three consecutive league wins for the first time since early last year. Bettors should expect a fiercely contested match with the home side holding most of the backing.
