My Brighton vs Chelsea best bet: Brighton moneyline (+145 at Sports Interaction)

It’s now been six weeks since Chelsea have scored a Premier League goal after Saturday’s 1-0 loss to Man United. 

The Blues have now gone more than 500 minutes, including stoppage time, since they found the back of the net vs. a top-division European side.

Chelsea had 21 shots vs. Man United and 1.57 xG, but still couldn’t score. Now they face an in-form Brighton side, who are 5-1-1 in their last seven and won 3-1 at Stamford Bridge in September.

The Seagulls are the better side right now, and are terrific value at this price.
