Chelsea vs Brighton preview & prediction

Match preview

The English Premier League match between Chelsea and Brighton & Hove Albion is scheduled for Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

In their most recent league match, Chelsea suffered a 1-0 defeat against Julen Lopetegui’s Wolverhampton Wanderers. Wolverhampton Wanderers won thanks to a goal from Portuguese midfielder Matheus Nunes in the first half.

Marc Cucurella, a Spanish left-back, was acquired by Chelsea from Brighton & Hove Albion last summer for €65 million. A few months later, Chelsea made another surprise appearance to hire Graham Potter as manager. Cucurella’s season should be discussed as little as possible, since Potter has been fired.

Tottenham Hotspur defeated Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 in a league match, on the other hand. Spurs won thanks to goals from ace striker Harry Kane and South Korean attacker Son Heung-min. Lewis Dunk, a centre-back for Brighton & Hove Albion, scored the winning goal.

Brighton & Hove Albion may have sold Chelsea some of their parts, but they were unable to transfer Brighton’s success. Chelsea is currently 11th in the league, seven points behind their next opponent, while the Seagulls are currently seventh.

Chelsea vs Brighton prediction

Brighton has been quite successful in signing players like Moises Caicedo, Kaoru Mitoma, and Pascal Gross because of their capacity to sign undervalued talents from throughout the world for low prices. Due to this, the team will continue to punch above their weight even after losing players like Potter, Cucurella, and Leandro Trossard.

Chelsea’s business model depends on them shelling out astronomical sums of money to sign top-tier football players. Although it is difficult to determine who is superior, only one squad is currently winning.
