Historical Statistical Verdict

Across the available Chelsea vs Brighton stats, the historical record points clearly to Brighton’s recent superiority, particularly at home, where they have won all three recorded fixtures and scored heavily. Overall, Brighton lead the head-to-head with 4 wins from 5 matches, outscoring Chelsea 13–6 and consistently finding ways to impose themselves in both Premier League and FA Cup contests. Chelsea’s lone win in this sequence came at Stamford Bridge, and the venue split suggests that home advantage can still be a leveller for them.
