Brighton & Hove Albion vs Chelsea Preview and Team News
Brighton & Hove Albion Team News
Brighton’s recent track record has been excellent, as they’re unbeaten in their last four games. They are currently ninth in the Premier League and are pushing hard for at least a UEFA Europa Conference League berth next season.
On Saturday, the Seagulls played out a 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur, in which substitute Georginio Rutter’s stoppage-time goal earned them a point. Midfielder Pascal Groß was seen controlling things. The German recorded 93% passing accuracy and contributed seven key defensive actions.
Stefanos Tzimas is sidelined for the remainder of the season with a cruciate ligament injury, whereas Adam Webster has been ruled out with a knee issue. James Milner also has a muscle issue.
Brighton & Hove Albion predicted lineup vs Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Verbruggen; Kadioglu, Boscagli, van Hecke, Wieffer; Groß, Ayari; Minteh, Hinshelwood, Rutter; Welbeck.
Chelsea Team News
Chelsea sit sixth in the table, but a European place is far from secure. They are coming off a disappointing 0-1 home loss to Manchester United. This result is not going to look good on manager Liam Rosenior’s resumé, as it leaves the Blues with four losses in their last five games.
What’s more, the London-based club have failed to score in each of those four outings, highlighting serious issues in attack. Notably, their seven goals across their last five encounters all came in a single FA Cup match against League One side Port Vale. Against Manchester United, they created no big chances.
Jamie Gittens, Levi Colwill, Reece James, and Filip Jorgensen, meanwhile, are sidelined with injuries.
Chelsea predicted lineup vs Brighton & Hove Albion (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; Cucurella, Hato, Fofana, Gusto; Lavia, Caicedo; Neto, Palmer, Garnacho; Pedro.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Chelsea Prediction
- Pick: Chelsea to win or draw
- Odds: -204 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Brighton & Hove Albion 2-2 Chelsea
Despite their recent struggles, Chelsea still look capable of avoiding defeat. They sit higher in the table and have a strong H2H record. The Blues have beaten or drawn Brighton in 16 of their last 22 meetings. Even away from home, they haven’t been afraid of the Seagulls, going unbeaten in seven of their last 11 visits.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Chelsea Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 2.5 goals
- Odds: -154 (20Bet)
We expect to see at least three goals here. Both sides have an array of attacking talent in their ranks. Chelsea will be led by João Pedro, who has already scored 14 goals this season, while Brighton will rely on former Manchester United man Danny Welbeck (12 goals).
Notably, each of the last seven Premier League meetings between the teams has produced at least three goals. Both clubs have been productive offensively this season, with Brighton scoring 45 and Chelsea 53.
