Team Analysis
Brighton and Chelsea are looking to secure their standing in the Premier League with their upcoming match this Wednesday evening at The Amex. Chelsea is on a high after their 3-2 road win over Crystal Palace, making this their potential fourth consecutive league win. However, it's worth noting that they've only won one of their last seven league games on the road, a fact that Brighton might capitalize on. Brighton has shown defensive tenacity in their recent league fixtures, having only conceded one goal in their last two matches against Aston Villa and Newcastle. An interesting factor is the performance of Mauricio Pochettino, who seems to have found the right strategy towards the end of the season, boosting Chelsea's potential for securing European football.

Head-to-Head
Brighton and Chelsea have had a series of intense matches in the past. Most recent notable ones include when Chelsea managed an impressive comeback at The City Ground, continuing their outstanding attacking form by scoring ten goals in their last three league wins. However, their recurring defensive weaknesses were exposed during matches against Forest, which Brighton might capitalize on considering their seemingly improved defensive form. The Seagulls, Brighton's team, have only conceded one goal in recent matches against Aston Villa and Newcastle, demonstrating a solid defence line.

Odds Analysis
In terms of predictions, it appears that Brighton has a higher likelihood of achieving a win or a draw at 1.80 odds. This projection is based on their recent performances and the defensive prowess they have exhibited in their past few games. On the other hand, Both Teams To Score is priced at the 1.40 odds which might indicate a high-scoring game. However, considering Brighton's recent defensive track record, the match could lean towards fewer goals than expected. The chance of seeing Under 3.5 goals scored in this match stands at 1.80 odds. Especially since Chelsea, despite their recent successes, have struggled in their previous seven away games and could find it challenging against Brighton's tough and in-form defence.

Pick: Under 3.5 goals
