Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. vs ACF Fiorentina Prediction 21 April 2026

Back in early March, Brighton suffered a narrow 0–1 defeat to Arsenal. Since then, they’ve been in solid form, picking up wins against Sunderland (1–0), Liverpool (2–1), and Burnley (2–0), along with a 2–2 draw against Tottenham. The Seagulls currently sit ninth with 47 points and a goal difference of 45:39, just one point shy of the Europa League spots.

Chelsea’s numbers are very similar: sixth place, 48 points, and a goal difference of 53:42. However, their momentum has completely stalled. A brutal run of four straight defeats — to Newcastle (0–1), Everton (0–3), Manchester City (0–3), and Manchester United (0–1) — has effectively derailed their push for a top-four finish. Even more worrying, the Blues haven’t scored in a month.

Brighton come into this clash in far better shape, both in terms of form and confidence. Given Chelsea’s struggles in attack, the hosts have a strong chance of at least avoiding defeat.
