Our betting predictions for Brighton vs Chelsea match are:
Brighton vs Chelsea Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Brighton have been in great attacking form this season averaging a good number of shots per game. We expect them to get more than 3.5 shots on target against a Chelsea defence which is missing a few big names which at odds of 1.90 (betway) is one of the best bets of the match.
Mason Mount has great accuracy when in front of goal. He will be expected to start this match after being benched against Manchester City and betting on him to get more than 0.5 shots on target at odds of 1.72 (bet 365) is one of the safest bets of the match.
Romelu Lukaku is Chelsea’s target man and he will get a lot of chances in this match. He will be looking to get back in form to revive Chelsea’s title chances and thus betting on him to get a goal at odds of 2.75 (betway) is a good bet.
Quick Rich
Both teams will find it tough to score against each other’s solid defence. However, we do still expect a lot of attacks to take place in this match and thus betting on the game to have a combination of less than 2.5 goals and more than 9.5 corners at odds of 2.80 (betway) gives high returns at minimal risk.
Betting on the result is always a good way to earn big. We expect both teams to play well and betting on the result to be 1-1 like the previous fixture between them at odds of 8.00 or 1-2 in favour of Chelsea at odds of 9.50 can be a good bet. (bet 365)
Win/Lose/Draw
Chelsea have had many disappointing results in the last few games which has dented their title chances heavily. Brighton now have 3 wins and 2 draws in their last 5 games and step into this game with a better form as compared to Chelsea. The previous fixture between them ended as a 1-1 draw and we expect a similar result to take place at odds of 3.75. (bet 365).
Bet During the Match
Timo Werner started on the bench against Manchester City. He will be looking to earn his place back in the team and if he starts the match, betting on him to get more than 0.5 shots on target at odds of 1.61 (bet 365) is a safe bet.
