Chelsea vs Brighton Prediction: the Key Match Before the UCL

Prediction for the EPL Chelsea vs Brighton match, which will take place on April 15th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Chelsea is having a terrible season. Since the beginning of the championship, things have been tough for them. Thomas Tuchel was fired, but after a while, we saw that the Blues had not played much more under the German. Graham Potter could not understand how to work with that endless lineup and therefore was also dismissed. Frank Lampard will be in charge of the capital club until the off-season, but he has already had two bad experiences. In the EPL, the team lost to Wolverhampton 0:1, and last week they also fell to Real Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinals 0:2, almost missing their chances of reaching the semifinals.

Brighton is having a classy season by their standards and continues to progress. They played great in the opening game under Graham Potter, and after his departure, they did the same with Roberto De Dzerby. Moreover, the Seagulls have played more lively under him, and their results are still very decent. In the last six rounds, the Blues and Whites have got three wins, two draws, and the only defeat from Tottenham 1: 2 previous matchday. They could have earned points had it not been for the dubious refereeing decisions. Brighton is still seventh in the league standings.

Chelsea is failing this season, but they still have a tiny chance to beat Real Madrid in the UCL quarterfinals. The first game was a 0-2 for Madrid, but there is still a return meeting at Stamford Bridge ahead. Frank Lampard's charges already have no tournament motivation in the EPL, so they can calmly prepare for a more critical upcoming battle. The Seagulls should take advantage of this.

The rivalry between Chelsea and Brighton in recent years has been productive - both scored time after time. In the previous six meetings, only once there was no nil-nil draws. Now we can expect an open and entertaining game. The Seagulls always play this way, and the Londoners would rehearse for the upcoming UCL match.
