Brighton will host Chelsea in a Premier League battle Friday. The Seagulls are looking to get back in the win column after dropping back-to-back league matches, although they could have a bit of a confidence boost after defeating Chelsea 2-1 in the FA Cup fourth round less than a week ago. Chelsea will be eager to get revenge, especially after winning three of their last five domestic matches. (For more soccer coverage, click here).

Before you lock in your Brighton vs. Chelsea picks or predictions, you need to see what proven soccer expert Brandt Sutton has to say.

Sutton, a former collegiate soccer player, has been SportsLine's top soccer editor for more than six years. He has followed soccer closely for much longer and factors in managerial tactics, projected lineups and past performances to make the most-informed decisions possible, keeping his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.

Sutton was SportsLine's top soccer expert in 2022 with a 165-130-2 mark with his soccer picks, returning nearly $2,200 for $100 players. He was also profitable across multiple leagues in 2023, including the English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, Europa League and more.. 

The expert knows there could be a lot of goals scored in Friday's matchup. Both teams have found the back of the net in nine of their last 10 head-to-head meetings across all competitions dating back to 2021. Plus, three or more goals have been scored in each of the last three head-to-heads, suggesting this will be a high-scoring game.

Sutton also points out Chelsea are having trouble winning games on the road outside of last Saturday's FA Cup loss at Falmer Stadium. That being said, Brighton are having trouble shutting down visiting teams and haven't outright won a home match since a surprise 2-1 victory against Man City on Nov. 9. These trends for both teams make Friday's game extremely interesting.

For Friday, Sutton has taken an in-depth look at the Brighton vs. Chelsea matchup. He has released a pair of confident best bets, including one that returns nearly +300! You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks and analysis before making any selections of your own.
