Chelsea are falling apart
Chelsea’s season is continuing to spiral as it gets late in the season. The club is now sixth n the table and is falling further and further behind for a Champions League spot. The Blues are now seven points behind Liverpool and have lost four consecutive matches.
This club continues to put together a crazy amount of expected goals (xG) but hasn’t been able to finish any big chances. Looking at the odds we have available, even though Chelsea are the “better’ team, I’m not planning to back them in this matchup as they continue to miss their chances on offense and slip consistently on defense.

Brighton continue to frustrate
Brighton are always such a difficult team for me to bet on. They never are amazing, but they never are terrible either. They’re a perfectly above-average club that can be deadly against even the best teams in the league but will randomly struggle to beat the bottom of the league.
One thing I do like about Brighton is they are clinical in their attack. This is a team that only needs a couple of chances to make things very difficult for opponents. They played Spurs last matchday, and drew 2-2 with only three shots on target.
Brighton still have world-class talent available like Kaoru Mitoma and Danny Welbeck. While Chelsea are the better side, there’s no way I’m trusting them with the form they’re in. Give me a 2-1 Brighton victory here.
