Our Take
Chelsea’s home strength and slightly better defensive record give them a slight edge in this encounter. The data suggests an entertaining match with over 2.5 goals highly likely given both teams’ recent scoring form. Brighton’s ability to find the net on the road will test Chelsea’s defensive line but the home side’s attacking firepower should prevail.
