Stamford Bridge promises a competitive atmosphere as Chelsea seek to consolidate early-season momentum at home, while Brighton aim to arrest an inconsistent start and secure a positive away result.

Main Tip: BTTS & Over 2.5 Goals
The first betting tip predicts that both teams will score and there will be at least three total goals recorded. Chelsea have been productive in attack early in the campaign, registering 10 goals in five matches, while Brighton have shown they can be clinical offensively — exemplified by their emphatic recent 6:0 cup victory — even if they have been less consistent defensively. Moreover, Brighton’s ability to score away despite losing suggests they will pose an attacking threat at Stamford Bridge. The tactical approaches of both managers also favour open play at times; Maresca’s side can be expansive going forward, while Hürzeler’s Brighton have demonstrated intent in attack. Therefore, we back these teams to produce three goals between with each side finding the back of the net at odds of 1.86 on Paripesa.
Betting Tip 2: Chelsea Win – Tip 1
Chelsea are forecast as favourites to take the three points in this fixture. The basis for this betting prediction lies in several factors: superior home form so far this season, a better overall points return, and the continuity provided by Enzo Maresca’s tactical framework. Chelsea have accumulated 8 points from five matches (2 wins, 2 draws, 1 defeat) and have scored 10 goals while conceding 5; their home record reads 1 win and 1 draw from two fixtures, indicating relative solidity at Stamford Bridge. Brighton, by contrast, have yet to register a positive away result (0 wins, 0 draws, 2 defeats away), and their defensive record of eight goals conceded in five matches suggests vulnerabilities that Chelsea can exploit at home. For punters, the best available odds for a Chelsea home win is 1.78 at Paripesa.

Betting Tip 3: Correct score: 2-1
The third betting prediction recommends a 2:1 correct score. This forecast reflects the expectation of an open contest in which both teams find the net but with Chelsea able to secure a decisive margin. A 2:1 outcome aligns with the BTTS & Over 2.5 yes pick. While Chelsea are the favourites to win, Brighton have proven they can challenge stronger opponents, but after a 2-1 loss to Manchester United in the last gameweek, they will be desperate to get back to winning ways.
Statistics for Chelsea FC vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Chelsea FC team news!
Chelsea arrive at this fixture with 8 points from five Premier League matches, comprising 2 wins, 2 draws and a single defeat. The Blues have found the net 10 times while conceding 5 goals. At Stamford Bridge, their record in the current season stands at 1 win and 1 draw from two matches, indicating a solid home base. Manager Enzo Maresca has overseen a side that mixes attacking ambition with tactical organisation; the club’s squad depth provides options in both midfield creativity and forward rotations. Chelsea’s recent cup victory — a 2:1 away win at Lincoln City — offers a morale boost and confirms the squad can perform in knockout environments as well, carrying momentum into league duty.
Brighton & Hove Albion team news!
Brighton are positioned 14th with 5 points after five rounds, recording 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats and a goal difference of 6 scored to 8 conceded. Their away form has been less encouraging, with two defeats from two league trips thus far. Under Fabian Hürzeler, Brighton have displayed attacking verve at times — encapsulated by a recent 6:0 away triumph in cup competition at Barnsley — but the team’s defensive inconsistencies remain a concern in the Premier League context. Hürzeler’s tactical approach tends to encourage forward thrusts, which can yield goals but also leaves space for counterplay.
H2H statistics
In the last five meetings across all competitions, Chelsea and Brighton have contested a competitive rivalry: Chelsea hold three wins to Brighton’s two, with no draws in those five fixtures. The most recent direct encounter prior to this match resulted in a 3:0 home victory for Brighton, a reminder that historical form between the clubs can shift and that singular past results may not fully predict outcomes. Overall head-to-head data suggests an equilibrium of competitive matches rather than outright dominance by either side.
Last results Chelsea FC
Across their last five matches in all competitions, Chelsea have recorded 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. This pattern indicates a mixed but not unfavourable recent form: the team has shown the capacity to win and to score, but also to drop points and concede. The most recent of those matches was an encouraging 2:1 away victory at Lincoln City, which should provide confidence heading into the league fixture.
Last results Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton’s last five fixtures across competitions have produced 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. That sequence reflects a generally positive run, highlighted by offensive productivity — most notably a 6:0 away cup victory at Barnsley — though league inconsistencies, especially on the road, temper the overall assessment.
Conclusion
This fixture at Stamford Bridge projects as a contest in which Chelsea enter as favourites but cannot be complacent. Enzo Maresca’s side possess the home advantage, a superior points tally and the attacking personnel to exploit Brighton’s defensive frailties. Brighton, managed by Fabian Hürzeler, remain a threat and have recent results indicating they can score freely on their day. Considering form, home comfort and squad dynamics, the recommended primary betting prediction is a Chelsea win.
