Brighton & Hove Albion Chelsea betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This clash puts in the field two teams that have been doing very distinct campaigns so far within the English Championship. While Chelsea is among the top four, in the fight for the vice-leadership, Brighton appears at the bottom of the table with only three points ahead of the relegation zone. The home team has been ineffective in completing, and its defense fails in defensive set pieces. Chelsea, on the other hand, attacks from the sidelines, and bets heavily on set pieces, long-distance kicks and individual plays, while its defense excels in tackles and defensive set pieces. So, for its enormous offensive superiority, it is a good option to bet on the victory of Chelsea.

Preview
Brighton & Hove Albion and Chelsea face at The American Express Community Stadium, in a match for the 24th round of the Premier League. In the last league head‑to‑head, played in 26‑12‑2017, Chelsea got a home win by (2‑0). The home advantage may play an important role in this match , since Brighton & Hove Albion presents significant differences between home and away results.

Analysis Brighton

After 5 wins, 8 draws and 10 losses, the home team is in the 16th position, havinf won 23 points so far. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against West Bromwich Albion by (2‑0), after in the previous match they have tied (2‑2) at home, against AFC Bournemouth. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 6 goals scored and 16 conceded; against 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 17 goals scored and 19 conceded. In the last 10 home league matches Brighton & Hove Albion has a record of 3 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 15 points out of 30 possible. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (6 out of 11 matches). Their offense hasn’t been one of their best features, as they haven’t scored any goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. 7 of their last 11 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches. They have conceded the first goal in 11 of their 23 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 11 home matches for this competition there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 6 of their 12 goals between minutes (46'‑60'); they have conceded 5 of their 14 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Brighton is still showing signs of recovery within the English Premier League, as it has not won for four rounds, not scoring a goal in three of them, and now it is coming off another defeat. This time the team was defeated by West Bromwich, away from home in a game where it had more ball possession, but finalized less and not very efficiently. As was evident in this match, the team has been characterized by a very inefficient offensive sector, which failed to score goals in twelve matches, and now figures as the second worst of the competition, also one of that least complete. Playing at home, the team won less than 50% of the points, and in that condition lost only two games. The 4-4-1-1 has been the standard formation of the team, which should not have great casualties in this clash.

Confirmed Lineup: Mathew Ryan, Connor Goldson, Markus Suttner, Shane Duffy, Lewis Dunk, Ezequiel Schelotto, Dale Stephens, Davy Pröpper, Pascal Groß, Solly March, Tomer Hemed.

Analysis Chelsea

The away team is currently in the 4th position of the league, with 47 points won, after 14 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Arsenal, by (2‑2). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Leicester City, by (0‑0). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 26 goals scored and 13 conceded; against 9 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 26 goals scored and 11 conceded. In their last match, for the FA Cup, they got a home win against Norwich City by (5‑3) after a penalty shootout. In the last 10 away league matches Chelsea has a record of 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 18 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (4 out of 11 matches). Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 23 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Chelsea has a chance to reach its eighth straight game without losing in the English Premier League but enters the field thinking only of winning as it has added two straight draws that puts it away from the vice-lead. In the last round, the team played a balanced game against Leicester City, and although it ended up with more possession and more finalizations, it only register a goalless draw at home. However, the defensive performance shown in this clash confirms what the team has been presenting throughout the competition, so much so that today has the defense less leaked, next to Manchester United. One of the strengths of the team is the exchange of passes, which has the second best average of hits. The coach is likely to organize the team in 3-4-2-1 or 3-5-1-1, with Fabregas standing out in the midfield.

Confirmed Lineup: Willy Caballero, Victor Moses, Marcos Alonso, Antonio Rüdiger, Andreas Christensen, César Azpilicueta, N'Golo Kanté, Tiemoué Bakayoko, Michy Batshuayi, Willian, Eden Hazard.
