This week’s Premier League action kicks off on Friday night at the American Express Stadium with Brighton & Hove Albion playing host to Chelsea. The Seagulls are in 10th place in the league standings with 34 points while the Blues are fourth with 43 points after 24 games. Check out our match prediction below!
After losing the reverse fixture 4-2 in September, Brighton have now suffered defeat in their last three matches against this opponent, following a five-match unbeaten run before that. Chelsea have lost just one of their seven away games in the Premier League against the Seagulls, which was back in October 2022 by a 4-2 scoreline.
Despite the home advantage, Brighton are the underdogs in this match according to the bookmaker odds. However, it was the Seagulls that knocked the Blues out of the FA Cup at this venue less than a week ago. Let’s get into the key stats.

Brighton - Chelsea: Form Analysis
Brighton and Hove Albion were handed their heaviest defeat of the season in their last league match when they were torn apart by Nottingham Forest 7-0 at the City Ground at the start of the month.
That was the Seagulls’ second defeat in succession, while they have only won two of their last 12 top-flight matches dating back to a 2-1 win over Bournemouth in late November (W2 D6 L4).
At the Amex, the hosts are winless in their last five league games, though they have been tough to beat, losing only twice in 10 matches at this venue all season (W3 D6 L2).
Brighton failed to score in their last two games - the first time that has happened since last April!
Meanwhile, Chelsea will undoubtedly be out for revenge after seeing their FA Cup campaign come to an end by this opponent here on the South Coast last weekend.
In league terms, the Blues won their last match 2-1 against West Ham, while their only defeat in their last five league games was away to Manchester City at the end of last month.
However, the visitors have been unimpressive on the road of late, winless in their last four outings, while they’ve conceded two or more goals in two of the last three in that time.

Brighton & Chelsea Squad Analysis
Brighton were dealt another injury setback last weekend, with Lewis Dunk sustaining a back injury in the win against the Blues, and he is unlikely to feature in this match.
Dunk adds to the Seagull’s already lengthy casualty list which features the likes of Ferdi Kadioglu, James Milner, Igor, Mats Wieffer, and Solly March.
Pervis Estupinan could return from injury for Brighton this week!
For Chelsea, Mykhaylo Mudryk is serving a provisional doping ban and will remain sidelined for the foreseeable future.
The visitors have four confirmed injury absentees for this match, including Wesley Fofana (hamstring), Benoit Badiashile (thigh), Omari Kellyman (hamstring) and Romeo Lavia (muscle).
Enzo Maresca provided an update on Marc Guiu, revealing the attacker is likely to be out for “a few weeks”, but Nicolas Jackson is expected to be available after missing the FA Cup match last week.

Our Brighton vs Chelsea Prediction
Matches between these two sides over the years have delivered goals, and that seems likely to be the case again this week, given their recent defensive records.
Indeed, Chelsea are worthy favourites in this match owing to their league position, but they were beaten by this opponent less than a week ago and are have failed to win any of their last four away league games. Choosing an outright winner here feels a little too risky, but we are expecting a few goals by the full-time whistle. Our Brighton vs Chelsea prediction is over 2.5.
Brighton vs Chelsea Alternative Predictions

Brighton have only kept one clean sheet in their last six league games, while Chelsea have only shut out opponents once in their last eight matches. Additionally, five of the last six matches between these sides have ended with over 2.5 goals and with both teams scoring.
