Brighton have enjoyed plenty of success against Chelsea of late but the Blues are fancied to start putting the record straight at Stamford Bridge this Sunday. Both teams are nicely up and running after some positive results this season, but the Blues should really be a cut above class-wise thanks to their vastly superior spending power.
With a strong manager like Xabi Alonso now at the helm, 3/4 for a home win is hard to resist as our initial Chelsea vs Brighton prediction.

Head-to-Head
Chelsea vs Brighton head-to-head record
Admittedly, Chelsea will have to buck a trend that has seen them suffer four straight defeats against Brighton , who prevailed 3-1 at this venue last term and then 3-0 at Amex Stadium . However, Danny Welbeck scored half of Albion’s goals in those games and he has since become the latest in a long line of high-profile transfers between the two clubs.

Form Guides

Alonso took on a big job after last season’s late meltdown led to a 10 th place finish in the Premier League table, but the early signs are that the former Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid boss is up to the task. Chelsea again spent big over the summer, but this time there was a more strategic feel to their transfer policy, with proven performers mixed in with hot prospects.
Major recruit Morgan Rogers made the perfect start when scoring in between fellow front men Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer as the Blues came through a tricky first test at Fulham with a 3-2 win . It was then Welbeck’s turn to make a successful debut when netting in Thursday’s 2-0 EFL Cup triumph over Luton .
A transfer saga regarding the possible exit of Enzo Fernandez and a shaky start by ex-Brighton keeper Robert Sanchez are issues that need to be resolved, but overall the feelgood factor has quickly returned to Stamford Bridge. Pedro did us a favour when following up a superb pre-season by scoring first at Craven Cottage last Monday and we’re playing up those winnings by taking 4/1 for the Brazilian to break the deadlock again here.
Brighton form guide
To say the Seagulls made a fast start to their Premier League campaign would be an understatement, as all of the goals in a 4-0 home victory over Aston Villa came well inside the first half. Brighton followed that up by posting the same scoreline in a dominant win over Tromso to book their place in the Europa Conference League league phase. Albion must balance Premier League commitments with continental competition for only the second time in the club’s history, though, and that could stretch a limited squad.
“The key will be that we can maintain these standards,” said Fabian Hurzeler . “The key will be that we can maintain this intensity in the Premier League but also in Europe. Hopefully, we are prepared for that, but we try to give our best, we try to go game by game, and then we see what happens.”
We feel this is a stiff test for the Seagulls, but it has to be noted that they have at least scored on five straight Premier League visits to this venue. Taking that into account, let’s add a BOYLE Sports price boost of 5/2 for a home win and both teams to score to our Chelsea vs Brighton betting tips, while for those chasing a bigger pay-out, 25/1 for a scorecast of Pedro to net first in a 2-1 success catches the eye.
