Chelsea vs Brighton Today's match will be a very interesting match between these two teams. Since Chelsea is currently in the fourth position of the points table, they will change their game to compete with Forest. If Chelsea can collect three points today, their points will increase a lot, moreover, since Manchester City is two points less than them, Chelsea will have to play well today and win. If Chelsea cannot achieve this in today's match, then Manchester City will be able to take over their position, accordingly, Chelsea must play with their best performance in today's match.
The match is not a difficult match to predict as it is obvious that Chelsea will have their way. Lately, Brighton have not been the stubborn team we know so there is no need expecting too much from them. However Brighton have a record of being very difficult for teams bigger than them. They did it against many of the big teams in England, so Chelsea have to keep this in mind so they don't approach the match with pride or over confidence.
Yes, this match is really very important for Chelsea, because if they lose this match it is very likely that their position will drop to 5th place. Because tomorrow Manchester City, who is in 5th place, will face Newcastle. It is very likely that Manchester City will win this match, so if for example Chelsea lose to Brighton their position will be threatened. Therefore, Chelsea must get the full 3 points in this match, to maintain their tight competition with Nottingham. Apart from that, Chelsea's match against Brighton is likely to be won by Chelsea. But sometimes Brighton can give Chelsea unexpected surprises.
The proof alone is that this season Brighton was able to beat big teams like Manchester City, was able to draw with Arsenal and Brighton was also able to beat Chelsea in the FA Cup. That's why I think there will be an unexpected surprise in this match. So if we are going to bet on Chelsea we have to be prepared for these unexpected surprises. For this reason, doing BTTS or betting on which team will score first in this match will be better.
