Reasons For Chelsea vs Brighton predictions & Betting Tips
The Chelsea squad are favourites to win this match 1.18 with bet365, with visitors Brighton unfancied by the bookies at 15.00 with bet365 to take the three points.
Unlike Chelsea though, the Seagulls come into the match on the back of a win after beating Watford 1-0 on Saturday. The Blues could only manage a draw away at Everton.
However, winning at Stamford Bridge would be a huge ask of Chris Hughton’s men. Chelsea’s form all season has been patchy, but the Premier League champions are still a difficult prospect in front of their own fans.
Having conceded that the now 16 gap points between them and leaders Manchester City is too much to make up, it will be interesting to see if Antonio Conte opts to go full strength throughout the festive period.
The Blues are through to the Carabao Cup semi-finals and have a Champions League face off with Barcelona in February, which it looks like they will prioritise.
One man they will be able to welcome back to contention against Brighton is Alvaro Morata, who missed the draw with Everton through suspension. We’re backing him to open the scoring at 3.30 with 3.30 with Unibet.
As for the correct score, we think whatever team Chelsea put out should have enough to get the job done. A 2-0 home win looks a good bet at 5.50 with bet365.
Chelsea vs Brighton Form
Chelsea face Brighton at Stamford Bridge on Boxing Day afternoon. The Blues were held 0-0 by Everton in their last league match, leaving them 16 points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City.
Chelsea Form
Chelsea have not set the world alight in recent weeks, although nor have they been poor enough to really set any alarm bells ringing. Antonio Conte has already conceded the league title, so it will be interesting to see if he goes out all in during the festive period given the busy calendar.
Chelsea Form: DWWWLD
Brighton Form
The Seagulls earned a timely win on Saturday after a winless run, beating Watford 1-0 to keep them safely in mid-table for now. Goalscoring has been their biggest problem recently, they’ve scored just twice in their last six games.
