Chelsea vs Brighton Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Romelu Lukaku was back with a bang from injury as he scored an Important goal and put up a brilliant display helping his team get the crucial 3 points against Aston Villa. We expect him to get a goal against Brighton too which at odds of 2.40 (betway) is one oof the best bets of the match.
Leandro Trossard looked very good for Brighton in their win against Brentford over the weekend. He will be play a crucial role for his team against Chelsea and we expect him to get 1 or more shot on target which at odds of 2.10 is one of the best bets of the match. (betway)
Reece James has been the standout player for Chelsea this season. He was unlucky to have scored the own goal against Aston Villa and he will be looking to be back with a bang and thus betting on him to get 2 or more shots at odds of 1.83 (betway) is a really good bet.
Quick Rich
After 8 clean sheets early on in the season, Chelsea have managed to keep only 1 clean sheet in their last 7 league games. However, they have failed to score in only one league game this season and thus betting on the combination of both teams to score and the game to have less than 3.5 goals at odds of 4.00 (bet 365) can give high returns at minimal risk.
Betting on the result is always a good way to earn big. We expect the game to end in Chelsea’s favour with a scoreline of 2-1 at odds of 9.50. (bet365)
Win/Lose/Draw
Both teams have been in great form this season but Chelsea will have the home advantage in this game and with almost all their players back from injury, they will go all in for the win against Brighton so as to not fall out of the title race. We thus expect a Chelsea win at odds of 1.44 (betway).
Bet During the Match
If Brighton score first in the match, betting on Chelsea to come from behind and win or draw the match at current odds of 1.10 (bet 365) is a good bet to make during the match.
