Featured Game | Chelsea vs. Brighton & Hove Albion
Why you should back Chelsea
The Blues have struggled to score all season but have proven they are capable of producing offensive surges. Prior to their current three-game drought, Chelsea recorded six goals while going 2-1-0 over a span of three Premier League matches. Five different players converted for the team during that stretch, with Kai Havertz scoring in back-to-back contests against Leicester City and Everton.
That capped a three-game streak across all competitions for Havertz as the 23-year-old also scored in Chelsea’s 2-0 victory on March 7 in the second leg of their Round of 16 tie against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League. Havertz leads the Blues with seven goals, one of which came in the loss to Brighton earlier this season. Winger Raheem Sterling, who also converted in the match versus Dortmund, is second on the Blues with four league goals in his first season with the club after spending the previous seven with Manchester City.
Why you should back Brighton & Hove Albion
The Seagulls have lost only four of their last 17 Premier League matches, recording nine wins and four draws over that span. Brighton are one of the top offensive teams in the league this season, as only three clubs have eclipsed their total of 52 goals. The production has been spread out as six different players have netted four or more goals.
Alexis Mac Allister leads the Seagulls with eight goals in 25 matches after recording only five in 33 games last season. Wingers Kaoru Mitoma and Solly March have registered seven goals apiece while midfielder Pascal Grob has netted six and Evan Ferguson has notched four. The 28-year-old March is among the league leaders in assists as he is tied for eighth place with a career-high six in 28 contests.
