    Chelsea – Tottenham Hotspur April 3rd, 2025 Chelsea has Tottenham figured out like an open book. The Blues have lost only one of their last 12 Premier League matches against their London rival, winning the last three duels with an impressive score of 10:4. Stamford Bridge has become a nightmare for Spurs, and manager Ange Postecoglou could establish an unflattering record - no Tottenham manager in history has lost his first four league games against Chelsea.

The current form of both teams clearly favors the hosts. Celta hasn't lost in six consecutive league games (4 wins, 2 draws) and has won the last two. If the Galicians win for a third time, they would record their longest winning streak since May 2021, when under Eduardo Coudet they managed to win five times in a row. Las Palmas, on the other hand, is experiencing a catastrophic 2025. They are the only team in the entire LaLiga that has...
