Brighton Betting Preview
Brighton comes into this game sitting in 10th place in the standings having picked up 48 points. Brighton in the last game faced off against Newcastle and they were able to secure the 1-1 draw. Joel Veltman scored in the 18th minute to jump out to a 1-0 lead for Brighton. The defense did give up a goal in stoppage time at the end of the first half though and that led to them picking up only a point. Veltman was hurt in the last game and he’s going to be out for a while. Joao Pedro is dealing with an ankle injury but it appears he’s going to be good enough to go here. In this game if Brighton wants a chance to win they are going to need the defense to be strong.
Chelsea Betting Preview
On the other side of this matchup is Chelsea who sits in 7th place in the standings having picked up 57 points. Chelsea in the last game faced off against Nottingham Forest and they were able to secure the 3-2 victory. Late in the game they were down 2-1, but goals by Raheem Sterling in the 80th minute and Nicolas Jackson scored in the 82nd minute to secure the three points. Lesley Ugochukwu and Reece James are back with the team and both are going to need to be strong here. Ben Chilwell is dealing with a knee injury but he could be back for this game which would be a big boost for the squad. The defense gave up two goals in the last game and they are going to need the defense to be a whole lot better here.
Brighton vs Chelsea Prediction
Chelsea’s defense has been a major issue heading into this game and they are going to continue those struggles here. Brighton is going to score a couple of goals here early but their defense is going to struggle here. Brighton and Chelsea are both going to run up the score here, and this game is going to go well over the total. This is one of top English Premier League plays of the month.
