Before Betting
Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea appear to have hit form in the Premier League in recent weeks, and they have emerged as a leading top-four hope this term.
The Blues will be full of confidence coming into this clash after winning three from their last four since an opening day defeat against Man City. That run of form currently leaves them sitting fifth in the standings.
Chelsea have improved at both ends of the field in their last two, keeping successive clean sheets and netting four times in wins over Bournemouth and West Ham.
Their most recent win over the Hammers was an indicator to the progression that they have made. Nicolas Jackson netted twice in the London derby to take his tally for the season to four goals in five matches.
Brighton’s early promise this term under Fabian Hurzeler has been de-railed in recent weeks after playing out three successive draws.
A golden opportunity passed them by last weekend after they threw away a 2-1 home advantage against Nottingham Forest.
Despite that, Brighton have remained unbeaten across their opening five matches this term. That marks their best start to a Premier League season in their history.
Danny Welbeck netted the second goal in their 2-2 draw against Forest to take his tally for the season to three in five appearances.
Chelsea vs. Brighton Prediction
Defensive issues have continued to plague Brighton’s progress this term, which at least means that this weekend’s showdown should be entertaining.
However, Chelsea’s recent promise could be the key factor to follow as they go in search of a third straight win against the Seagulls. But, both teams to score appears to be the standout selection this weekend.
