Brighton Vs Chelsea Preview
Having broken Tottenham’s hearts in the 95th minute on Saturday afternoon, Brighton are looking to further derail Chelsea’s top five push on April 21. The Seagulls scored at the end of each half to clinch a 2-2 draw in north London and now they will be aiming to increase the pressure on Liam Rosenior.
Even though Rosenior is just three months into his tenure, the next Chelsea manager odds market is already gaining plenty of attention owing to his poor run of results. The Blues have lost six of their last seven with their only victory in that run coming against League One side Port Vale – who are 23rd in England’s third tier.
Another defeat on the South Coast will mean the west Londoners chances of qualifying for the Champions League will become extremely difficult. As for Brighton, they are hot on their opponents heels with a place in Europe increasingly likely if they keep up their fine run.
Brighton Vs Chelsea H2H Record
Over the last three Brighton vs Chelsea H2H meetings in all competitions, the Seagulls have won on each occasion. Which is something worth considering when it comes to Premier League betting on BetVictor’s Brighton vs Chelsea betting markets.
Even more so as the Blues are stuck in a rut currently. However, the west Londoners have won the last four H2H meetings prior to the trio of defeats. The overall H2H record stands in Chelsea’s favour. Of the 27 previous clashes, the west Londoners have 16 wins compared to the Seagulls six.
Brighton vs Chelsea H2H record:
- Brighton wins – 6
- Draws – 5
- Chelsea wins – 16
