Chelsea vs Brighton EFL prediction
Chelsea came from behind to book their place in round 3 of the EFL Cup following Enzo Fernández’s winning and his first goal for Chelsea to make it a 2-1 win against AFC Wimbledon. Unfortunately, Stamford Bridge is in a challenging moment for now as they marked a 3rd straight game without scoring a single goal when they got another miserable defeat to Aston Villa during Sunday’s EPL fixture. This could be of big concern to Pochettino as they welcome Brighton for the EFL Cup on Wednesday.
Contrary to Chelsea, Brighton looks much alive as they never stopped registering at least a goal on the scoreboard since the new season started. This could mark them as the favorite in this match and perhaps they might qualify for the next round if they manage to leverage the poor defending of Chelsea. Brighton defeated Chelsea back to back in their recent 2 games and this trend is expected to happen again in the EFL Cup this midweek.
