EFL Cup
The history of the teams' head-to-head meetings includes 15 matches. Chelsea was stronger 7 times, while Brighton came out victorious in 3 cases. 5 matches ended in draws. The most recent encounter was on July 23, 2023, and the score was 4-3. The difference in goals scored and conceded is 27-19.
Chelsea
Chelsea’s last success in the League Cup dates back to 2015 when they managed to win the trophy. The aristocrats have won the tournament five times in total, but last season they were eliminated in the 1/16 finals by Manchester City. Judging by the way they’ve been playing and the results this season, it might not be easy for Chelsea to please their fans. Under the guidance of Mauricio Pochettino, they haven’t won in the last three Premier League matches, with two losses and a draw. Chelsea’s last successful match was on August 30 when they managed to beat Wimbledon (2-1) in the League Cup 1/32 finals.
Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton rarely reaches the later stages of the League Cup. Last season, the Seagulls made it to the 1/8 finals but couldn’t beat Charlton Athletic, losing in a penalty shootout. In the Premier League, Roberto De Zerbi’s charges are doing quite well, currently occupying the third position after six rounds. However, in the Europa League, Brighton started with a home defeat to AEK (2-3).
Prediction
Brighton's performance this season has been notably better than their opponent's. However, maintaining consistency across all competitions isn't easy for the Seagulls, and they often lack squad depth. The loss to AEK is evidence of this. Chelsea doesn't participate in European competitions, and they have a pool of talented players to choose from. Given Chelsea's current streak of failures, we believe that the aristocrats can advance to the 1/8 finals after this match on their home turf. Our prediction is Chelsea to advance with odds of 1.86. The Seagulls play in an open style, regularly scoring goals themselves but also conceding. In all official matches this season involving Brighton, a bet on both teams to score has been a common occurrence. It's unlikely that the match against Chelsea will be an exception, especially considering that both teams have scored in their last five head-to-head encounters. The second bet is both teams to score at odds of 1.60. We recommend visit the page
