❌ Chelsea (Premier League 1st division 5th place / Last 5 matches: Loss, Draw, Win, Win, Win)
Chelsea prefers a 3-2-4-1 formation, developing possession play centered around Sancho (LW), Palmer (AMC), Jackson (FW), and Mudryk (RW). Recently, they demonstrated a notable difference in strength with a 5-0 victory against Vero. The defensive coordination between Colwill (DC) and Adarabioyo (DC) is steadily improving, and with Gusto (DR) returning, the three-man defense is expected to strengthen. Their pattern play and dribbling skills will pose a significant threat to Brighton's defense.
- Injury concerns: James (DF / ★★★★), Lavia (MF / ★★★)
❌ Brighton (Premier League 1st division 7th place / Last 5 matches: Win, Draw, Draw, Win, Draw)
Brighton utilizes a 4-2-3-1 formation and employs a counter-attacking strategy centered around Mitoma (LW) and Mounié (RW). They recently recorded a 2-2 draw against Nottingham, showing struggles against counterattacks. Pedro (FW) has returned from injury but is not yet in full condition, and Welbeck's (FW) solo play has been underwhelming. While Dunk (DC) and van Hecke (DC) have good defensive build-up, their management of space behind them is unstable, making them vulnerable to Chelsea’s quick attacks.
- Injury concerns: Milner (MF / ★★★★), O'Reilly (MF / ★★★), Lallana (FW / ★★★), March (FW / ★★★)
❌ Result Prediction
Chelsea is expected to dominate the match. Brighton is likely to struggle due to issues with the attacking line's condition and defensive instability, while Chelsea will exploit Brighton's defense with strong attacking plays. Betting on a Chelsea victory and over (3.5) goals seems advantageous.
