Brighton vs Chelsea Prediction Prediction Match Details
Brighton & Hove Albion will host Chelsea in the rescheduled fixture of the round of 34 games at the Amex Stadium on Wednesday night. The Blues are on a three-match winning streak and are vying for a place in the European competition.
Brighton Preview & Form
Brighton & Hove Albion have been struggling with form heading into their final week of the campaign, winning just two out of their last 12 Premier League games. During this run, the seagull recorded six losses, four draws, and two wins. Roberto De Zerbi’s side has failed to qualify for any European competitions next season, as they sit in the top half of the Premier League table with 48 points from 36 matches played. In their last match against Newcastle on the road, they were denied a win, with Longstaff scoring a late equalizer for the Magpies in the first half.
Brighton has been impressive all season when playing in front of their fans, having only lost three home Premier League matches. They secured eight home wins and six draws during this period.
One big issue for Brighton is scoring goals in their last 11 league fixtures, as they have failed to score more than one goal in each of the matches.
Chelsea Preview & Form
Chelsea is currently in great form, having won their last three consecutive matches. Mauricio Pochettino’s team secured an important three points in their last match against Nottingham Forest to boost their chances of playing in European competitions next season. The Blues are currently seventh in the league table and are on the same points as Newcastle United, who sit in sixth place. In their last 13 Premier League games, the Blues have had impressive form, suffering only one defeat, playing to five draws, and winning seven matches.
Mauricio Pochettino’s team’s away form has been a mixed bag in their last eight league matches, with four draws, one loss, and three wins. One big issue with Chelsea is keeping clean sheets, as they have only kept one clean sheet in their last 15 matches.
