Brighton v Chelsea Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: 16^th December 2018 (Kick-off 1:30 PM)

On Saturday afternoon, Brighton host Chelsea at the AMEX Stadium, as Chelsea look to maintain their position in the Champions League spot.

Brighton are currently 13^th place after an inconsistent run of form in the top-flight. Chelsea are currently fourth place in the top-flight table but are only above fifth place Arsenal on goal difference.

Brighton suffered a 1-0 defeat at struggling Burnley last time out to end a mini two-game winning run in the top-flight. The Seagulls recent home form in the top-flight has been good, as Chris Hughton’s side have lost just once in their last ten league games at the AMEX Stadium.

The team from the South Coast have also won three of their last four home games in the top-flight. Their recent home games in the league have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four home games in the Premier League.

Top Football Bookmakers

Chelsea have been inconsistent of late in the top-flight, as the Blues have won two, lost two and drawn one of their last five league outings. Last time out Maurizio Sarri’s side recorded a 2-0 win over Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.

Just like their recent league form in general, Chelsea’s away form in the top-flight has been inconsistent of late. In fact, the Blues have won two, lost two and drawn one of their last five league games on their travels.

Prediction

Draw and/or under 2.5 goals
