Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. vs Chelsea F.C. Prediction 14 February 2025

Sitting 10th with 34 points and a 35:38 goal difference, the Seagulls are having a steady season in mid-table, unlikely to push for more. Their recent form has been mixed—after solid results against Arsenal (1:1), Ipswich (2:0), and Manchester United (3:1), they suffered heavy defeats to Everton (0:1) and Nottingham Forest (0:7).

Chelsea, meanwhile, has shown inconsistency. The Blues secured home wins over relegation-battling Wolverhampton (3:1) and West Ham (2:1), drew with Crystal Palace (1:1) and Bournemouth (2:2), but fell to Manchester City (1:3). With 43 points and a 47:31 goal difference, they currently hold fourth place, aligning with their main objective of securing a Champions League spot.

Just last week, Brighton knocked Chelsea out of the FA Cup, continuing their reputation as a tough opponent for Maresca’s side. Given their recent encounters, the Seagulls could once again cause trouble and take points off the favorites.
