Football prediction Chelsea vs Brighton: Lampard overcomes difficulties

Frank Lampard's return to Chelsea was full of turmoil. The Stamford Bridge team lost two consecutive matches against Wolverhampton and Real Madrid, without scoring a single goal. Chelsea fell to 11th place and the chance to compete for a European Cup spot next season, including the Europa Conference League, became increasingly remote.

A heavy mentality is one of the obstacles that makes it difficult for Chelsea to improve their performance quickly at this stage. This is the end of the season and they no longer have much motivation to strive when the achievement goals are difficult to achieve. Therefore, the first task of coach Frank Lampard is to lift the spirit of his students.

Football prediction Chelsea vs Brighton: Lampard overcomes difficulties - 1 — Chelsea lost their last two matches.

Technically, Chelsea still have enough good quality players in all positions. However, under manager Graham Potter, they have not been able to combine to create a winning formula. Having too many players in the team probably also confused Lampard's predecessor.

On the other side of the front line, Brighton has not declined at all since coach Graham Potter said goodbye to join Chelsea. They have only lost once in their last 7 matches in all competitions - a 1-2 loss to Tottenham in round 30.

Brighton are currently in seventh place. However, if they win their two remaining games, Roberto De Zerbi's side could close in on Tottenham in fifth place. Brighton still have a chance of qualifying for the Europa League.

Brighton's overall form since the start of the season has been much better than their opponents. De Zerbi's team is ranked fourth in the Premier League for goals scored and expected goals. Brighton's expected goals conceded is also higher than only Man Utd and Newcastle.

Defeating Brighton is not an easy task for Chelsea, even when playing at home. The poor form of the Stamford Bridge team's attack will cause them a lot of difficulties in the upcoming match.
