Chelsea take on the visitors Brighton in the round 31 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, April 15th at Stamford Bridge (London).
With a powerful lineup, Chelsea have simply embarrassed itself. After 30 rounds, their 11th place in the Premier League can hardly be called respectable. The goal difference for the "Blues" is negative, 29-31. The coach Lampard's seat not only wobbles but is already bursting at the seams. In the last five matches, the "pensioners" have not won a single game. Three of them were lost, including the latest one in the Champions League 0-2 in Madrid. In the league, even Everton, who is currently in 17th place, took a point from the capital club in this stretch, scoring twice in their goal.

Brighton are having a great season. With 46 points after 28 rounds, they are in eighth place and have every chance of appearing in European competitions in the fall. This efficient team plays an attacking game in the current championship, having 52 goals to their name. They have only let their opponents go dry in five matches of the tournament. And in the upcoming match, they have already shipped four goals to the opposing team, taking all three points.
I don't know about four goals this time by Brighton, but it will surely ruin the mood of Chelsea's goalkeeper, Arrizabalaga, and probably more than once. The London club is currently in terrible form. Lampard still hasn't found common ground with the players. The team is psychologically suppressed, and there is no leader who can lead them, which Lampard himself was when he was a player at Chelsea. Moreover, it has long been noticed that after European cup battles, the participants perform poorly in their domestic championships, and at least they concede goals in their own nets. Chelsea is no exception. After both matches against Borussia, they were scored by Southampton and Leicester. After the duel with Dynamo Zagreb, Arsenal scored against them. And after the Salzburg match, Brighton itself shipped those four goals to Chelsea. Most likely, the "Seagulls" will score in this confrontation, and it is quite likely that they will do it more than once.
Prediction for the match: Brighton to score over 1.0 goals.
