Chelsea vs Brighton – On Saturday afternoon at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea and Brighton will face off in one of the more intriguing matches of Matchday No. 31.
In terms of campaign success, the teams have had entirely different experiences. Chelsea is going through a very trying time right now after their 1-0 loss against relegation-threatened Wolves the previous weekend, which saw them plummet to the bottom half of the Premier League standings.
Brighton, on the other hand, is currently having their finest season ever. The Seagulls did experience a setback seven days ago when they lost 2-1 to Tottenham Hotspur, but they still hold a strong chance of qualifying for Europe next season as they are currently seventh in the league standings.
The team of Roberto De Zerbi absolutely did not deserve to lose last weekend in London. Although they were the better team for the majority of the game, they lost 2-1 due to a few controversial goals and non-whistled penalties.
After seven games across competitions, it was the team’s first loss. Brighton does possess sufficient strength to prevail in the matchup against another London heavyweight.
Shortly before the match against Wolves last Saturday, Chelsea welcomed back their legendary Frank Lampard, who had been named the team’s new head coach (for the remainder of the season).
The Blues once again had a terrible game at both ends of the field, and Lampard’s debut did not go well at all. Chelsea ultimately lost 1-0, their third straight league game without scoring.
Chelsea vs Brighton – Betting Analysis
In the rematch, which was played at The AMEX in October of last year, Brighton destroyed Chelsea 4-1. In their last four meetings with the Seagulls, three of which featured goals on both sides, Chelsea is winless.
However, Brighton has lost all five of their away games against Chelsea. The Seagulls have suffered three losses so far.
Due to the proximity of this game to Chelsea’s two Champions League matches against Real Madrid, we believe it presents a fantastic opportunity for Brighton to resume its winning ways.
