Chelsea vs Brighton Prediction 28 Sep 2024

⚽ Premier League - Round 6 Preview

📅 28 Sep 2024

⏰ 15:00 GMT +1

🏟 Stamford Bridge (London)

Chelsea appear to have found their rhythm after a heavy summer investment, accumulating ten points from their opening five league games (W3, D1, L1). Three of those wins came from their last four outings, including a dominant 3-0 victory at West Ham. New manager Enzo Maresca emphasized that Chelsea are progressing in the "right direction." However, their recent home form is a concern, with no wins in their last two Premier League games at Stamford Bridge (D1, L1). Despite defeating Brighton three times in league and cup last season, Chelsea have only managed one win in their last four Premier League meetings with the Seagulls at home (D2, L1).

Brighton, one of only four undefeated Premier League teams heading into this round (W2, D3), have shown resilience by battling back from deficits to secure points in two of their last three matches. Although their momentum has slowed with three consecutive draws, their strong character indicates they can challenge Chelsea in London. However, away form remains an issue for Fabian Hürzeler's side, with just two wins in their last 15 Premier League away fixtures (D6, L7). Notably, their defeat at Stamford Bridge last season was one of the few games where they managed to score more than once.
