Chelsea vs Brighton Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Devesh Jaganath | in Premier League Predictions
Chelsea will face a stern test to extend their current unbeaten run in the Premier League this weekend when they welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon. The Blues will enter this match in fifth place in the league standings after the first five gameweeks, while the Seagulls are seventh, just one point behind their opponents. To the prediction!
The hosts appear to have awoken from their lull over the past few seasons and are looking like a side that can genuinely compete for a Champions League qualification spot this term. The visitors, meanwhile, have shown glimpses of the type of form they produced in 2022-23 when they qualified for Europe and have solid momentum behind them entering this contest.
As it stands, Chelsea are the current bookmakers’ favourite to win the match, but Brighton have yet to come away from a top-flight match empty-handed this season. Let’s run through the key stats in this intriguing encounter.

Chelsea - Brighton: Form Analysis
Chelsea will come into this match with their tails up after putting in a commanding performance in midweek to beat League Two leaders Barrow 5-0 in the third round of the EFL Cup. That result also marked their third consecutive clean sheet in all competitions.
In league terms, the Blues are unbeaten in their last four matches, winning three and drawing one. The only smudge on their record to date was their opening-round defeat to defending champions Manchester City.
The hosts have played twice at home this season, and are still looking for their first win, though they have only suffered one defeat at Stamford Bridge since the start of February.
Notably, Chelsea are the joint second-highest-scoring team in the league this season with 11 goals so far!
However, despite the Blues’ impressive start to the season, it will take a brave soul to write off Brighton without a chance here. Currently, the Seagulls are one of only four teams in the top flight that are yet to taste defeat this term.
Their most recent outing ended in a fiery 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest at the Amex, which took their record this season to two wins and three draws after the first five.
It should be noted, though, that while the visitors are unbeaten on the road in this campaign, they have only notched up a single win in their last eight away league games dating back to the start of March.

Chelsea & Brighton Squad Analysis
Enzo Maresca will be unable to call upon two first-team starters for this match, including club captain Reece James and midfielder Romeo Lavia due to injury. Lavia, though, is reported to be days away from returning to training.
The Blues received a few significant injury boosts ahead of their EFL match in midweek with Malo Gusto, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Enzo Fernandez all making it back onto the teamsheet.
Cole Palmer has contributed to six of Chelsea’s 11 goals this season, scoring two and assisting four!
Fabian Hurzeler, on the other hand, will have to make do without the services of Joao Pedro, who he confirmed picked up a knock in the closing moments of their draw against Forest last week.
Joining the Brazilian on the sidelines this weekend will be Matt O'Riley (ankle), Solly March (knee) and veteran James Milner (thigh), all of whom are also nursing injuries at present. On a positive note, Yasin Ayari has been cleared fit for this match.
Given Pedro’s absence, the Seagulls' record signing Georginio Rutter is expected to partner Danny Welbeck, who has already notched up three goals in five league games this term.
