Chelsea vs Brighton 29.12.2021

Chelsea came from behind to win 3-1 at Aston Villa, thanks to 2 penalties scored by Jorginho and a header from substitute Romelu Lukaku. They are now 6 matches unbeaten in all competitions.

Brighton enjoyed a Boxing Day 2-0 win at home to Brentford. The win marked the end of a 12-match winless streak (9 draws and 3 losses). They will be looking to build on the momentum of that victory.

These are two teams known for strong defensive display therefore we don’t expect many goals in the match.

Main tip: Under 2.5 Goals (go to tip details)
