Looking to skyrocket their way into the European spots on Tuesday night, Brighton will welcome a struggling Chelsea to the Amex.
While some in Brighton’s camp might have been disappointed over the weekend as they had to settle for a single point in the capital, Tuesday’s hosts have continued to impress on either side of March’s international break and will be confident of making another statement here.
Suddenly at the heart of what has become a public nightmare, Chelsea have come under a tremendous amount of recent scrutiny and Liam Rosenior’s position in the Stamford Bridge dugout appears to be hanging by a thread.
Ahead of Tuesday’s showdown from the Amex, we have taken a look at some of the most attractive Brighton vs Chelsea Bet Builder Tips.
Brighton’s European charge
Snatching a dramatic last-gasp equaliser away at relegation scrappers Tottenham on Saturday evening, Brighton have certainly reignited their European dreams on either side of March’s international break.
Despite potentially missing out on an opportunity in north London over the weekend as they had to settle for that thrilling 2-2 stalemate, Tuesday’s hosts have registered 10 points from their previous four Premier League appearances.
Heading into March’s fortnight interval with a stellar 2-1 victory at home against soon-to-be former champions Liverpool, Fabian Hurzeler’s side will be smelling a golden opportunity when they return to the Amex.
Remarkably opening Tuesday’s showdown sat within touching distance of finding a route into the Champions League spots, Brighton are enjoying what has become their most fruitful spell of the season.
Storming their way to an empathic 3-0 victory when they welcomed Chelsea to the south coast last season, the former St. Pauli boss will be dreaming of a repeat performance in midweek.

Where does Rosenior go from here?
While there might have been plenty of raised eyebrows back in January as Rosenior was announced as Enzo Maresca’s replacement at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea did enjoy an immediate boost under the ex-Strasbourg boss.
However, crashing back down to earth in a public fashion, the Blues suddenly find themselves at the heart of a public nightmare and the pressure on Rosenior’s shoulders has now reached a boiling point.
Last seen over the weekend getting hit with a 1-0 loss at home against historic rivals Manchester United, Tuesday’s guests have lost all of their previous four consecutive Premier League appearances.
Likewise, watching their Champions League adventure come to a thumping end this month following a thumping 8-2 aggregate defeat against reigning European champions PSG, Chelsea have also lost six of their last seven matchups across all fronts.
Falling to that 3-0 defeat when they travelled to the Amex for a Premier League showdown last season, Rosenior’s struggling squad look set for another tricky test.

Chelsea’s glaring defensive issues
Heading into March’s international break with a 3-0 drumming at the hands of Everton, Rosenior will certainly have a major headache over his side’s glaring defensive issues.
Recording just a single Premier League clean sheet since the ex-Hull City boss arrived at Stamford Bridge back in January, Chelsea leaky defence will certainly be asked some serious questions here.
Shipping eight goals in their back-to-back Champions League showdowns against PSG this month, the Blues have also shipped 10 goals in their last three straight matchups outside of west London across all fronts.
Likewise, Chelsea have failed to register a single Premier League clean sheet away from Stamford Bridge since way back on December 6th.
Meeting a Brighton attack who have notched a pair of strikes in each of their last three consecutive Premier League appearances, the Seagulls have also gained a reputation for their free-flowing approach in the final third.
