Chelsea vs Brighton Match Preview

Chelsea must get back immediately on winning ways if they do not want to lose sight of the Champions League zone. They are ranked at the 11th place with eight points and come after two wins two draws and a loss over the last five games. They have shown good football overall and even in the match against Liverpool they had their chances, especially in the second half where they outplayed their rivals. If they repeat the same performance against a team like Brighton, I suppose it should bring them a victory. The morale of the team should be much better after that 7-1 in the EFL Cup against Grimsby.

Brighton, on the other side, are ranked at the 15th place with six points. They are winless in the last five matches, collecting just three draws and two losses. The only win for them came in the first game against Watford but the games after that have shown that it was mainly luck on their side. After that, they have scored just two goals in five games, while conceding eight. Here they travel to face a team like Chelsea who will be fully motivated for a win and can't allow false steps. They lost in all previous matches against Chelsea in the Premier League.

In conclusion, I expect Chelsea to win this match. They are the better team here and despite not having the best start of the new season I guess they should improve in the next duels. Hudson-Odoi will be an added value in their quest as we saw in the Cup game.
