Chelsea vs Brighton Predictions

• Brighton are unbeaten after seven competitive games this season.
• Chelsea have dropped points in both Premier League home games this term.
• Brighton’s last three league assignments have ended all square.

Blues primed for another Stamford Bridge setback

Enzo Maresca made 11 changes to the team that beat West Ham last weekend for their 5-0 thrashing of Barrow in the Carabao Cup, but even with their well-rested squad, they may struggle to extend their winning streak against an impressive Brighton side on Saturday.

The Blues have won their last three games in all competitions, but they have dropped points at home to Manchester City and Crystal Palace already this season and the visiting Seagulls have started the season in excellent fashion.

Seagulls good value to get something from Chelsea

Fabian Hurzeler’s side are just a point off Chelsea in the Premier League table, and their 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest last time out extended their unbeaten start to the 2024/25 campaign to seven matches in all competitions.

During this time they have beaten Everton, Manchester United, Crawley, and Wolves and drawn with Ipswich, Nottingham Forest, and, most notably, Arsenal.

These showings suggest that the Seagulls can avoid defeat at Stamford Bridge and are worth backing in the double chance market, while a fourth successive Premier League stalemate could be in order with a 1-1 correct score prediction.
