Chelsea had one of the best weeks of their season as they won their quarter finals of the Champions League and semi finals of the FA cup and now have a chance to win two trophies in Thomas Tuchel’s opening season. However they are still 5th in the league and will prioritize finishing in the top 4 this season. They next face a good looking Brighton side who seem to be getting safer and safer from relegation every match.
Our betting predictions for Chelsea vs Brighton match are:
Chelsea vs Brighton Betting Tips
Safe Bets
The Chelsea defence look to be back in business as they kept a clean sheet against one of the best attacking teams across Europe- Manchester City. We expect them to clean sheet against a low scoring Brighton side who are in the bottom 5 for goals scored this season. However Brighton are also one of the best defensive sides having kept an impressive 10 clean sheets this season. Thus betting on the combination of both teams not to score and total goals to be less than 2.5 at odds of 2.15 (betway) gives more than double returns at minimal risk.
Brighton have the 5th most clean sheets in the league. In their last 2 matches, Chelsea have had a total of only 13 shots in total and we expect them to have another tough game against Brighton. Thus betting on them to have less than 13.5 shots at odds of 1.80 (bet 365) is one of the safest bets of the match.
Both teams will struggle to get past each other’s defence and struggle to score especially in the first half. The last 2 games of Chelsea have involved 0 goals in the first half at odds of 2.75 (betway) is a really good bet to make.
Quick Rich
Chelsea are now only 1 point behind West Ham and 2 points behind Leicester. They know that a win will take them into the top 4 and they will look to not waste this opportunity. Thus betting on the correct scoreline to be 2-0, 3-0 or 4-0 in favour of Chelsea at odds of 3.80 (betway) can be a really good bet.
We expect the first half to be a very low scoring match with not much attacking threat from both sides. Thus betting on the bet builder combination of the first half to have less than 1.5 goals and less than 5.5 corners and Brighton to have more than 1.5 cards at odds of 4.00 (betway) can be a really good bet to make.
Win/Lose/Draw
Thomas Tuchel has turned Chelsea’s season around and they now lie in 5th place in the Premier League and have a great chance to win the Champions League and FA cup. Chelsea have been unbeaten in 17 out of 19 games under Tuchel and we expect them to get another win at odds of 1.57. (bet 365)
Bet During the Match
Chelsea have had a hectic week and we expect some of their players to be rested. This will be a good chance for Marcus Alonso to step in and prove himself and if he starts the match, betting on him to score a goal at odds of 7.00 (bet 365) can be a good bet to make during the match.
