Predictions Brighton vs Chelsea January 1, 2020

Rank 4 Chelsea will be playing away against Brighton 14th in the 21st week of the Premier League 2019/20, Wednesday (01/01/2020). The Blues are in optimal moral condition after winning the derby at Arsenal headquarters with a score of 2-1.

When against Arsenal on Sunday (12/29/2019), Chelsea were left behind by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's goal in the 13th minute.  However,Frank Lampard's troops turned to win dramatically through goals from Jorginho and Tammy Abraham at the end of the match.

With that result, it means that Chelsea always win in their last two away games in the league. Before bending Arsenal, they also won 2-0 at home to Tottenham.

Meanwhile, Brighton had just won 2-0 at entertaining Bournemouth with goals from Alireza Jahanbakhsh and Aaron Mooy. Neal Maupay and Leandro Trossard contributed one assist each.

The victory restored Brighton's confidence. Because, before conquering Bournemouth, Graham Potter's foster children had gone through four games without a win. They drew against Wolverhampton (2-2) and Crystal Palace (1-1, and lost against Sheffield United (0-1) and Tottenham (1-2).

Even so, Chelsea are still more favored. Chelsea's perfect record of them, five wins in five meetings, was one of his considerations.

Chelsea took turns losing and winning in their last eight matches in all competitions. They certainly want to improve consistency, win two consecutive wins for the first time since October 26, 2019, and start 2020 with the best results.
