Prediction Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Premier League on 01/11/2025

Match preview: big London derby under the Tottenham lights

Tottenham Hotspur welcome Chelsea to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 1 November in what promises to be a high-voltage Premier League encounter. With Jarred Gillett appointed to take charge and a near-capacity crowd expected in the 62,850-seat venue, the atmosphere will be electric. Tottenham come into the clash third in the table after nine matches, carrying 17 points from five wins, two draws and two losses; Chelsea sit further down in ninth with 14 points but arrive with attacking numbers that demand respect.

Both teams have been involved in high-scoring affairs in recent weeks. Tottenham’s run includes three wins in four league outings and a mixed bag in cup competition — a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup where Lucas Bergvall produced the best rating for the visitors. Chelsea, meanwhile, arrive off a dramatic 4-3 cup victory over Wolverhampton, and Andrey Santos stood out with a strong performance. The head-to-head earlier this year finished 1-0 to Chelsea, a reminder that narrow margins can decide these fixtures.

Tactical angle and form trends

The data paints a clear picture: Chelsea are the more aggressive shot-producing side with 123 total shots and an average of 13.67 per match, while Tottenham sit on 94 total shots and 10.44 per match. Chelsea’s attacks average of 106 versus Tottenham’s 81.67 suggests the visitors will look to control the ball and create frequent chances. Both sides have been involved in matches clearing the 2.5-goal line regularly—Tottenham showing over 2.5 in 66.7% of games and Chelsea an even higher 77.8%.

Defensively neither side has been untroubled — Tottenham have conceded seven overall, Chelsea eleven — and clean sheets are not guaranteed. Recent scorelines for Chelsea (5-1, 4-3, 3-4) point to a willingness to push forward even at risk of leaving gaps, which should open the game up at Tottenham’s home ground.

Market context and closing thoughts

Bookmakers reflect a tight contest: Chelsea are slight favorites at 2.52 with Tottenham at 2.68 and the draw 3.45. Those odds, combined with both teams’ attacking metrics and recent scorelines, suggest an open match where goals are probable rather than a defensive stalemate.
