Brighton have improved in recent times, but now the ‘seagulls’ are not in the best shape, and in the last round at all lost to Nottingham Forest with a score of 7:0. The gap from the European Cup zone is already 7 points, but Brighton are unlikely to give up.
But Chelsea are also fighting for points, as the fight for the top-4 in the English Premier League is always very persistent. At the moment, the Blues are in 4th place, but the gap from Manchester City and Newcastle is only 2 points.
Brighton and Chelsea played a couple of days ago in the FA Cup, where the Seagulls won 2-1. We expect a hard fought game with goals today.
Prediction: at least 3 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 2.5" bet, odds 1.53
