Chelsea vs Brighton Predictions and Top Betting Tips

Chelsea vs Brighton will be an interesting match with all the new changes in the teams. Here are our predictions.

Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

Chelsea are a different team to what we saw in the previous season and Pochetino's style has already taken over the club. They are an attacking side now and we definitely expect some goals from them. On the other side, Brighton have replaced a lot of footballers with quality replacements and they will be just as strong as we remember them. We definitely think that they will score a goal here.

Both Teams To Score Prediction: Yes

There is a good chance that both sides will score here, as we mentioned above. Brighton have been one of Chelsea's worst rivals over the last few years and Chelsea actually have not beat them in five consecutive matches since 2020. This means that this game is hard to predict, even more with it being an off season match. Therefore, we recommend picking one of the goal markets instead of looking for a winner here.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-2 Draw

Brighton know how to score goals and they know how to defend well. Chelsea are a different team but they are still in the early days of the new era and we think that Brighton will be a challenge. When we compare the Chelsea vs Brighton line ups, we definitely think that the hosts have the better squad as individuals but Brighton definitely have the more compact and balanced team.

Chelsea vs Brighton Team Previews

Chelsea Preview

This series of games against top opposition will be a huge challenge for Chelsea. The team got rid of literally an entire squad of players and are left with a group of expensive youngsters that have to prove themselves. Pochetino has already started with the improvements and we look forward to seeing this new Chelsea.

Brighton Preview

Brighton sold some of their most valuable players for huge sums at the start of the window and have been rebuilding their squad. We think that they will be just as good as they were last season, if not even better. They have always played well against Chelsea, so it will be interesting to see them face this new version of the team.
