Brighton & Hove Albion Chelsea betting prediction

Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is the occurrence of goals from both teams. Brighton & Hove Albion has been scoring goals regularly at home, having scored goals in all the 7 games it played in this kind of situation, including coming from a great home performance where it scored 3 goals and in 5 of these 7 matches both teams scored goals. Chelsea, in turn, scored goals in the last 4 away games but conceded 5 goals in the last 2 away clashes and as it has an obligation to win, it should be offensive and this will certainly leave more space behind than usual. Given these factors, we believe that both Brighton & Hove Albion and Chelsea will score goals.

Preview

Brighton & Hove Albion and Chelsea face at The American Express Community Stadium, in a match for the 17^th round of the Premier League. There are only 2 recent head‑to‑heads between these two teams: on 20‑01‑2018, which ended in a (0‑4) win by Chelsea, and another on 26‑12‑2017, which ended in a (2‑0) win by Chelsea. Although this is a match between 13^th and 4^th of the league table, it’s actually a match between the 7^th best in home matches and the 5^th best in away matches.

Analysis Brighton

The home team is currently in the 13^th position of the league, with 21 points won, after 6 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Crystal Palace, by (3‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Burnley, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually plays better at home, where they have won 14 points, against only 7 points in away matches. In the last 7 home league matches Brighton & Hove Albion has a record of 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 14 points out of 21 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 4 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 1. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 9 home matches for all competitions: they have suffered 5 of their 9 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Brighton & Hove Albion has seen it series of 3 games without losing to end in the last round and is looking for a recovery to try to reach the top half of the standings and distance itself even more from the relegation zone. The team needs to improve both in the offensive and defensive sectors, having scored 19 goals, having the ninth worst attack among the 20 Premier League teams, and suffered 22 goals, with the ninth least leaked defense.

Playing at home like Sunday's match, Brighton & Hove Albion went up a lot of income, coming from 3 wins and 1 draw, but faced teams well below its next opponent in these 4 matches.

For the difficult game against Chelsea, coach Chris Hughton should keep the same lineup of the last round as defender Duffy is suspended after a red card in the penultimate match.

Confirmed Lineup: Mathew Ryan, Martín Montoya, Bernardo, Leon Balogun, Lewis Dunk, Dale Stephens, Pascal Groß, Davy Pröpper, Anthony Knockaert, Solly March, Glenn Murray.
Coach: R. De Zerbi.

Analysis Chelsea

The away team is currently in the 4^th position of the league, with 34 points won, after 10 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Wolverhampton Wanderers, by (2‑1). In the last match, they won in a home match against Manchester City, by (2‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 13 points in away matches and 21 points at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 7 goals conceded at home, against 14 goals scored and 6 conceded in away matches. In their last match, for the UEFA Europa League, they got an away tie against Videoton by (2‑2). In the last 7 away league matches Chelsea has a record of 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, so they have won 13 points out of 21 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑1 (3 out of 7 matches). Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 12 of the last 16 matches for the Premier League, they have reached half‑time in front in 9 of those 12 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 9 of them.

Chelsea is making a good campaign in the English Premier League, comes from a great victory over Manchester City, having interrupted the invincibility of the strong team of Pep Guardiola and now goes in search of another positive result to stay in the qualification zone to the next Champions League of UEFA and also to try to reduce the gap of 8 points for the leader Liverpool. The team is characterized by an excellent balance between the offensive and defensive sectors, having scored 33 goals, having the fourth best attack of the competition, and suffered only 13 goals, having the third less leaked defense, being a team that manages to press enough without leaving many spaces behind.

Playing away from home, as the match on Sunday, Chelsea fell from yield, comes from 2 consecutive defeats, but it is worth noting that it has the second best attack and the fourth less leaked defense in this type of situation.

For the game against Brighton & Hove Albion, coach Maurizio Sarri will not be able to rely on midfielder Kovacic because of injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Kepa Arrizabalaga, César Azpilicueta, Marcos Alonso, Antonio Rüdiger, David Luiz, Jorginho, N'Golo Kanté, Mateo Kovačić, Eden Hazard, Pedro, Willian.
Coach: M. Pochettino Trossero.
