Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. vs Chelsea F.C. Prediction 8 February 2025

Brighton have established themselves as a solid mid-table Premier League side, and despite a shocking 0-7 defeat to Nottingham, they remain in a respectable tenth place. In the previous round, the Seagulls comfortably dispatched Championship side Norwich with a 4-0 victory.

Chelsea, meanwhile, cruised past lower-tier Morecambe (5-0) but continue to struggle with consistency. Wins over Wolverhampton (3-1) and West Ham (2-1) were offset by a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth and a 1-3 defeat to Manchester City, leaving Maresca’s side in fourth place in the league.

Both teams favor an attacking style but are prone to defensive lapses. Given their recent form, the cup setting is unlikely to prevent Brighton and Chelsea from delivering another high-scoring spectacle.
