Chelsea vs Brighton Prediction (30.08.2026)

The era of Xabi Alonso at the helm of Chelsea began with a victory. In the first round, the team won away 3:2 against Fulham. This was followed by a routine 2:0 home win against Luton in the cup. Here, they recorded a clean sheet, but in the Premier League, there hasn't been one for 17 consecutive matches, which Alonso will obviously need to work on. Additionally, Chelsea has four consecutive losses to Brighton, and Alonso will try to change that as well.

Brighton is also enjoying a good start after a 4:0 home win against Aston Villa. This was followed by another home victory, but in the Conference League against Tromsø. This is despite the sale of some key players this summer. We already mentioned that they have been performing well against Chelsea lately, so they could again pose a challenge to their opponent.

Both teams are starting well, but Chelsea still seems to have a problem with conceding goals. Brighton continues to look like a solid team, and I wouldn't be surprised if they manage to score at least once against the hosts again.
