Before this game, Chelsea have just finished 2 back-to-back midweek UCL games, 3 weekend EPL games, and an important FA Cup semi vs Man City. Some international players even have played 3 games during international week. They are likely to be EXHAUSTED, both mentally and physically. Still, they cannot be complacent in this league fixture, as they are 1 point off West Ham at the 5th. So, the best option for them is to go 1-0 victory. It is expected that they would be very cautious.
Brighton is 7 points above relegation, so a point is more than enough for them for this kind of fixture difficulty. Since both teams are looking for conservative approaches, a low-goal scoring game is expected.
For team news, Kovacic is a doubt which probably doesn’t matter much. Overall, it is a good value to back under 2.5 @1.819 (my odds 1.70).
