Chelsea - Brighton match score prediction: Waiting for a surprise at Stamford Bridge

(NLDO) - Brighton is playing the role of "rebel" by winning big matches but losing to small teams, so let's wait and see if they can cause a shock at Chelsea's stadium.

Chelsea will be looking to bounce back from a painful 2-1 defeat to Manchester United when they host Brighton at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea beat Fulham 2-0 in their last home game and they should be able to beat a tough Brighton side in London. Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez is back from suspension, but Romeo Lavia and Benoit Badiashile remain doubts. Striker Liam Delap is still in the recovery room, so new signing Joao Pedro will continue to lead the attack while Cole Palmer is out with a groin injury.

Brighton dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with Tottenham, before which they also beat Manchester City 2-1, so the press said they were playing the role of "rebels" when they easily lost 1-2 to Bournemouth and 0-2 to Everton. Can Brighton shock Chelsea this time like they did in London in April 2023 when they came from behind to win 2-1?

Brighton have no further injuries, but players like Adam Webster, Jack Hinshelwood and Solly March remain sidelined. With his squad intact, coach Fabian Hurzeler has made no secret of his intention to play an attacking game away from home, so the game is likely to be high-scoring.

Consulting the experts, the draw result is also very popular: Former manager Harry Redknapp chose 2-1, former player Chris Sutton predicted 1-1, while former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson predicted 2-1.

The odds for the match where Chelsea conceded half a goal for the home team have shifted slightly in favor of the home team, with Chelsea winning 92 and Brighton winning 97. However, in this match that promises many goals , the over bet is still more fun , because in 3 of the last 4 matches, Chelsea scored at least 2 goals/match.

Many people chose a 1-1 draw, so the price was reduced to 7.9. However, right next to that score was a Chelsea win with a 2-1 score of 8. While 1-0 was 10, 2-0 was 11. Brighton's chances of winning cannot be underestimated when the 1-2 score was 12, while a 2-2 draw was also priced similarly.
