Betting Preview: Chelsea vs Brighton: Home Team Favourites

West London giants Chelsea were largely unconvincing in their last league game at the weekend.

The Blues came from a goal down to beat Welsh side Cardiff City 2-1 away from home in their Premier League meeting on Sunday with the help of the officials.

Cardiff City had an early lead in the second half through Victor Camarasa before Cesar Azpilicueta scored the equaliser in the 84th minute from an offside position.

Cardiff City were understandably furious with the officials and that decision proved to be costly for the hosts who went on to concede a second Chelsea goal to substitute Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

Chelsea have to do better when they entertain Brighton and Hove Albion at home on Wednesday night in their quest for a top-four spot at the end of the season.

A win for Chelsea will take the Blues to the same level with London rivals Arsenal who are in third place.

Brighton are flirting with the relegation with the Seagulls five points clear of the last three relegation places.

A win for Chelsea is at the odds of 1.25 according to Surebet247 while a possible draw between the two sides is at the odds of 5.70.

An unlikely victory for the visitors is at the odds of 14.00.
