Recent form
Brighton
Brighton's recent form has been a rollercoaster ride, with notable highs and lows. The Seagulls enjoyed a three-match winning streak across all competitions, including impressive away victories against Manchester United and Ipswich Town in the Premier League, as well as a comfortable FA Cup win over Norwich. However, this positive run was abruptly halted by two consecutive league defeats, including a shocking 7-0 thrashing at the hands of Nottingham Forest – a particularly high-scoring game that stands out as an anomaly in their recent results. Despite these setbacks, Brighton have shown resilience by bouncing back with an FA Cup victory over Chelsea. Their goal-scoring prowess is evident, having netted 11 times in their last six matches, but their defensive vulnerabilities are equally apparent, conceding 10 goals in the same period, largely due to the Forest debacle. The team's ability to score and concede freely is reflected in the fact that 67% of their recent games have seen over 2.5 goals.
Chelsea
Chelsea's recent form has been a mixed bag, with their last six games yielding three wins, one draw, and two losses. The Blues have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, with all of their last six matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Notably, Chelsea thrashed Morecambe 5-0 in the FA Cup, showcasing their attacking prowess. However, their defensive record has been a concern, as they've failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five outings. The team's goal-scoring ability is evident, averaging an impressive 2.33 goals per game, but they're also conceding at a rate of 1.5 goals per match. Despite their inconsistent results, Chelsea have maintained a respectable 4th position in the league table, accumulating 43 points from 24 games. Their tendency to be involved in high-scoring matches is further emphasised by the fact that both teams have scored in 83% of their recent fixtures.

Recent home/away form
Brighton
Brighton's recent home form has been somewhat inconsistent, with the Seagulls struggling to secure victories at the Amex Stadium. In their last six home matches, Brighton have managed just one win, which came in their most recent outing against Chelsea in the FA Cup. The team have drawn three times and lost twice during this period, indicating a difficulty in converting home advantage into points. Notably, Brighton have kept only one clean sheet in these six games, conceding in five of them. There's been a trend towards low-scoring affairs, with four of the six matches featuring under 2.5 goals. However, the 3-1 defeat to Crystal Palace stands out as a particularly high-scoring encounter. Brighton's goal-scoring has been a concern, averaging less than a goal per game in this stretch, which partly explains their mid-table position in the Premier League.
Chelsea
Chelsea's away form has been notably poor in recent matches, with the Blues currently enduring a four-game winless streak on the road. Their last away victory came in the Europa Conference League against FC Astana, where they scored an impressive three goals. Since then, Chelsea have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only twice in their subsequent five away fixtures. Defensively, the team have also been vulnerable, conceding seven goals in their last three away matches. The goalless draw against Everton represents their only clean sheet in this six-game stretch. Despite their recent struggles, Chelsea have managed to maintain a respectable 4th position in the league, suggesting their home form may be compensating for their away difficulties. Interestingly, half of their away games have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency for high-scoring encounters when Chelsea are on the road.
