Chelsea vs Brighton: EPL betting guide and tips
By Mike Malley
It has conceded only 12 goals at home so far in 2022/23, which is the fourth-best home defensive record in the Premier League behind only Manchester United, Newcastle, and Liverpool. Benoit Badiashile should also return to the starting XI because of Kalidou Koulibaly’s injury, which has generally been good news for the entire Chels‘ back line since his arrival from Monaco during the winter window. If Lampard and his squad can keep things even until the intermission, they might have a chance to get a much-needed result against impressive opposition.

Chelsea predicted lineup vs Brighton: Mykhailo Mudryk starts, Kai Havertz benched in 4-3-3. dark. Next
It was good to bounce from an 0-for-3 against Wolves with a perfect 3-for-3 in the following contest, so I’ll try to keep the positive vibes flowing. Betting on unders served me well for a few consecutive weeks, so now maybe I’ll try picking against our favorite club to at least lessen the pain of its defeats if I’m right. The old emotional hedge is back in play, folks. With that in mind, I’ll take the aforementioned BHAFC moneyline at +160 odds and draw on the halftime result prop at +110. Finally, give me under 10.5 corners at -170 odds. This is obviously a much safer play than the others, but it’s always good to have balance between high and low-risk bets. The corner kick under hit with ease during CFC’s midweek clash as well, so I’m feeling very confident about cashing that third pick.
