Brighton & Hove Albion

  • Competition: England &— Premier League
  • Date: Sunday, 3rd, December 2023
  • Kickoff: 14:00 UK / 15.00 CET
  • Venue: Stamford Bridge (London)

Brighton & Hove Albion are set to play against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon, aiming to take advantage of their opponent’s recent downturn and make headway towards European positions.

Despite the record-breaking financial injection since the arrival of the new owner Todd Boehly, there is a prevailing sense that the blue London club is struggling to extract the maximum from its exceptionally talented squad. The appointment of the experienced Argentine strategist Mauricio Pochettino has failed to bring the expected refreshment, leaving Chelsea trapped in a negative streak of results since last season. Shockingly, Chelsea currently occupies a disappointing 10th place on the Premier League table, and securing a spot in any of the European competitions already seems like a daunting mission, given their staggering 10-point deficit behind Tottenham, who holds the last European ticket.

Brighton, under the skilled leadership of coach Roberto De Zerbi, secured an impressive 6th-place finish last season and now has its sights set on an even higher position. The club is aiming for a top-four spot to secure a coveted position in European competitions. Their success, however, will depend on their ability to consistently perform well in top-tier matches and compete for Champions League positions. As they prepare to visit Stamford Bridge on the 14th matchday, Brighton currently holds the eighth spot on the league table with 22 points, just six points behind Emery’s Villa, who hold the final Champions League spot.

Chelsea vs Brighton Hove & Albion Betting Tips: BTTS

The ongoing Premier League season has taught us one thing &— Chelsea is a team that’s hard to predict. This has been further solidified by their varying performance levels in the past few weeks. Their recent string of results has seen a gamut of outcomes, from a 4-1 thrashing of Tottenham to an adrenaline-packed 4-4 draw against treble-winners Manchester City. However, the euphoria was short-lived as they suffered a 1-4 defeat against Newcastle last weekend. On the bright side, Chelsea seems to be gradually rediscovering their offensive edge. Yet, their defensive frailties, compounded by several key players missing in that department, have become major concerns. This is especially after they’ve let in four goals in two successive matches.

The London side’s poor defense certainly gives visitors a clear opportunity to score this weekend at Stamford Bridge, particularly as Brighton has an outstanding offensive record, having scored 28 times in 13 games. Even with such formidable attacking skills, De Zerbi is having difficulty fixing his team’s defensive weaknesses, which are evident in their failure to maintain a single clean sheet during the current Premier League campaign. Knowing that Chelsea isn’t completely secure despite playing at home, we’re focusing on the goal market. We believe that both teams, despite their defensive issues but with their powerful attacks, will manage to score.

Reece James‘ double yellow card leading to his sending off at St James’ Park means he’ll be absent, and to exacerbate the situation, his defensive companion Marc Cucurella accrued his fifth yellow card of the season, resulting in both players being suspended for Sunday’s game.

In addition to the banned players, Mauricio Pochettino, the head coach, is confronted with an extensive list comprising an astounding eight absentees, with Moises Caicedo set to commence the match against his former team Brighton from the starting whistle.

Brighton team news

Much akin to their weekend adversary, Brighton finds itself seriously depleted with the non-availability of seven players, including Barcelona loanee Ansu Fati, who had to withdraw from the pitch in the 20th minute in the previous week’s match against Nottingham Forest due to a calf injury.

While Mahmoud Dahoud serves the second of his three-match suspension following a red card in the home draw of 1-1 against Sheffield United, he is joined in the restricted zone by Lewis Dunk, who picked up an expulsion last week for unsportsmanlike conduct.
