Brighton & Hove Albion - Chelsea predictions

The visiting team knows the task they face will not be easy. Beating Brighton & Hove Albion on their own turf would be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

2.31 on an away match is what many punters run away from but Chelsea are a team capable of big things. Therefore, backing them in this match might not be a bad idea after all.

The Seagulls did not have the best of games last time out. Their previous match was a Nottingham Forest defeat which came as quite a blow to their fans. Such a big-margin defeat is surely not what their fans had in mind and now it’s up to Albion to regain their fans’ trust.

While Chelsea managed to get a 2:1 victory in their previous home game against West Ham United, it only came after a disappointing first half. This raises some questions about their current form, especially considering the fact the top online bookmakers considered them a safe bet going in.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

The Blues are performing rather sub-par whenever they play away. For instance, they have more than 5 conceded goals spread over their most recent 3 away games.

Brighton’s chances of winning are more difficult to gauge than usual. Though they would be underdogs anyhow, Solly March, Yasin Abbas Ayari, Carlos Balepa Noom Quomah, Pervis Estupinan have been injured on top of that. Needless to say, they have a difficult match to look forward to.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.50 if you use the 888Sport sportsbook.
