Brighton showed real character at the weekend, coming from behind twice to secure a 2-2 draw away at Tottenham, heaping even more pressure on the north London side.

The Seagulls are right in the thick of the battle for a top-seven finish and seem to have found form at just the right moment, collecting 16 points from their last seven league games.

Their only defeat in that run came against leaders Arsenal, and that was at the Amex — a ground where results have been less convincing of late, with just three wins from their last ten home matches.

Brighton vs Chelsea Tips

Chelsea, meanwhile, are heading in the opposite direction. 

A damaging 1-0 home defeat to fellow top-five hopefuls Manchester United at the weekend was met with boos from the Stamford Bridge crowd, as pressure continues to mount on Liam Rosenior and the club’s hierarchy amid significant financial losses. 

With the gap to fifth widening, time is running out for the Blues to claw their way back into Champions League contention — and even their place in the European spots is under threat after four straight defeats without scoring.

That slump forms part of a broader run of just one win in eight league games, though a recent uptick on the road — three wins from their last five away fixtures — may offer a glimmer of hope.

Let’s take a look at my best betting tips for tonight's match:

Tip 1: Brighton to beat Chelsea at 6/4 with bet365

We can’t ignore the form of both sides coming into Tuesday’s game.

Chelsea are looking a very frustrated team without any confidence throughout their squad, and Brighton are on the up.

The Seagulls are top of the form table across the last eight Premier League matches and they will be licking their lips at the opportunity to leapfrog the Blues in the standings.

Tip 2: Brighton to win and BTTS at 10/3 with Paddy Power

Chelsea have banked in their last four Premier League matches despite having the most shots across that same period.

Surely this run can’t bleed into another fixture, with the return of ex-Brighton striker Joao Pedro expected on Tuesday night.

But Chelsea’s problems are more focussed at the back than in their own attacking line.

A home win with a BTTS attached looks good at 10/3 on the south coast.

Tip 3: Joao Pedro Over 2.5 shots, Lewis Dunk to be shown a card, Diego Gomez Over 1.5 fouls & Cole Palmer Over 0.5 shots on target at 20/1 with BetMGM

We’ve thrown in a few usual suspects to this Bet Builder with BetMGM.

Joao Pedro will be looking to prove a point of sorts back at the Amex and will surely be trigger happy in an attempt to blast Chelsea out of their goalless streak.

We’ll throw in a booking for Lewis Dunk (who has been carded in his last three games against Chelsea), at least two fouls for Diego Gomez (who has achieved this in his last seven matches) and least a shot on target for Cole Palmer who himself needs to find a path back to form as we approach the World Cup.
