Team Analysis
Chelsea, in the past two years, has seen a noticeable decline in competitiveness, becoming a mid-table team in the Premier League. Last season, in 38 league matches, they finished 11th with a record of 11 wins, 11 draws, and 16 losses. This season, despite the team's paper strength not diminishing, they still fail to perform up to expectations. In the last round of the league, Chelsea drew 2-2 away against Aston Villa, with only 1 win in the last 4 league matches. Currently, after 33 league matches, Chelsea has 13 wins, 9 draws, and 11 losses, sitting in 9th place on the table.

Tottenham Hotspur's performance last season fell short of expectations, finishing 8th in the league with a record of 18 wins, 6 draws, and 14 losses, failing to secure a European berth for this season. In the new season, despite the departure of their star striker Kane, their performance has improved somewhat. However, the team's recent form has been unstable. In the last round of the league, they lost 2-3 at home to Arsenal, suffering consecutive league defeats. In the past 33 league matches, they have 18 wins, 6 draws, and 9 losses, currently in 5th place on the table.

Odds Analysis
Looking at their head-to-head record, Chelsea has won 7, drawn 2, and lost 1 of the last 10 encounters, clearly having the upper hand. In particular, in the first-leg match of this season, Chelsea defeated Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 away, with Tottenham's handicap set at 0.25. Additionally, considering Chelsea's performance at home against Tottenham last season, they drew when the handicap was set at 0.25. Considering that Chelsea's league positioning has not changed much this season while Tottenham's performance has improved, they even have hopes of finishing in the top four. Therefore, for this match, the data continues to give Chelsea a handicap of 0.25 at home, reflecting support for their strength similar to last season's.

Pick: Chelsea
