Chelsea are facing the prospect of extending their poor performance when playing away at Brighton's Amex stadium in the 34th round of the Premier League.
Recent statistics show that The Blues have very little basis to be confident in this trip, especially when they often encounter difficulties in midweek matches.
The London team has only won 3 of the last 14 matches taking place on Tuesday or Wednesday (local time) in the Premier League, with 6 draws and 5 losses. Notably, they have conceded at least 2 goals in 5/6 of the last matches in this time frame.
Away from home, the situation is even worse when Chelsea lost 5/6 of their most recent midweek matches, since the victory over Crystal Palace in July 2020.
The defense is also a big problem. After a solid period with 4 clean sheets in 5 away games from October to December 2025, Chelsea has now gone through 8 consecutive away games without being able to keep a clean sheet. Losing 4 in the last 5 rounds also caused them to be left far behind by the top 5, creating more pressure in the decisive stage of the season.
With only 5 rounds left in the season, Chelsea must quickly find a solution if they do not want to lose the opportunity to participate in European cups next season. However, pressure is weighing heavily on Rosenior and his students, making the journey to escape the crisis increasingly difficult.
In the opposite direction, Brighton is not an easy opponent to subdue. "The Seagull" has won all 3 recent encounters with Chelsea, and also possesses stable form with 5 wins, 1 draw and only 1 defeat in the last 7 rounds of the Premier League.
With home advantage and excitement, Brighton has every reason to continue to bring sadness to The Blues.
