Historical Statistical Verdict

Across the available Chelsea vs Brighton stats, history points to Brighton as the more effective side in recent head-to-head meetings, with four wins from five and a 13-6 aggregate goal advantage. Chelsea’s only success in this run came at Stamford Bridge in a 4-2 win on 28 September 2024, while Brighton have since proved they can win both home and away, including back-to-back 3-0 victories at the Amex Stadium and a 3-1 away win in London.

The historical record and early-season numbers suggest a closely contested match where Brighton’s proven threat in this matchup is balanced by Chelsea’s home advantage and need to respond to a difficult recent head-to-head record.
