Chelsea - Brighton: Corner stats favours the home team

Brighton & Hove Albion will travel north to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. I do believe there's some value to be found in the corners market.

Chelsea

The Blues are off to a jolty but passable start to the season. Frank Lampard's squad have amassed 8 points from 6 games, losing 8 of the dropped 10 points so far to Manchester United, Leicester and Liverpool.

When playing at Stamford Bridge last season, Chelsea created on average 6.3 corners per game and conceded on average 3.8 corners per game (a difference of +2.5 corners per game).
When facing teams from the bottom half of the table at Stamford Bridge last season, Chelsea created on average 6.9 corners and conceded on average 3.5 corners per game (a difference of +3.4 corners per game).

In fact, only 3 teams had a better corner difference than Chelsea last season when facing bottom half teams:

In the 3 home games so far this season Chelsea has created on average 4.3 corners per game and conceded on average 4.3 corners per game. However, the opponents have been top 6 teams Leicester, Liverpool and gravity-defying Sheffield United.

The Seagulls and new manager Graham Potter must be both frustrated and eager to get back to winning ways. After beating Watford away in the first game of the season, Brighton have just conquered 3 more points (3 draws), despite some promising performances.
