Brighton vs Chelsea prediction
The FA Cup can be unpredictable and you’re always hoping for a big win from the underdogs, but when two Premier League teams collide, you never quite know who’s going to dominate.
With games ramping up at this time of year many prefer to rest their big stars for future games and take this time to give youngsters and fringe players a chance for more game time.
Injuries have been prevalent across most squads in the Premier League this season and that’s another reason for the rotations we could see between these two sides.
Chelsea have a big squad still and could change things around as these two sides also face each other in the Premier League next Friday.
Brighton have been struggling of late, losing their last two Premier League games and now even sit on a minus goal difference.
Losing by as much as 7-0 last time out to Nottingham Forest will have been a bit of a wake up call, after also losing 1-0 to Everton the week before and might be looking to bounce back immediately with a strong start in this clash.
Brighton vs Chelsea betting tip
Chelsea beat West Ham 2-1 on Monday night coming back from 1-0 down with two goals after the hour mark, showing both how they can lose games like they have recently and how they can also create plenty of chances and score goals if the finishing is there.
They had as many as 22 shots but only three made it on target and were almost fortunate to come away with all three points as they relied on an own goal from Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
They dominated possession and the game itself and if they can get back to the scoring form they showed from the previous months.
Cole Palmer has scored 14 and assisted six this season in the Premier League after just 24 appearances.
He’s been finding plenty of opportunities to create chances but his teammates haven’t quite been finishing them off, which could flip in a game like this.
Perhaps this is the time Chelsea go on another good cup run with the Blues often doing well in the FA Cup.
With Brighton conceding plenty recently, Chelsea potentially back to scoring ways there could be a few goals in this especially with any rotations in the squads.
Chelsea are the most carded team in the Premier League with 69 bookings joint with Southampton.
That’s eight more than the club in third, Bournemouth who have picked up 61 in 24 games.
Brighton only have 53 but when it comes to games like these against tougher sides, the cards can certainly come out – but as a 4th Round tie in the FA Cup they should still receive less than the Blues.
