Brighton vs Chelsea 18.01.2022

Brighton managed to salvage a point in a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace in their last match, thanks to an own goal towards the end of the game. They are now unbeaten in the last 5 games (W2 D3).

Chelsea’s title hopes all but ended when they lost 1-0 to runaway league leaders Manchester City over the weekend. Nevertheless, a return to winning ways is essential to keep above the top 4 battle.

Recent games between these teams have produced plenty of corners and we foresee the same in this match.
