Brentford - Chelsea predictions

The 4.64 odds on a home win result mark the hosts as clear underdogs. Things are fairly lopsided, in fact, so backing such an outcome would be quite a longshot.

We are most likely going to see this match being won by Chelsea. They have a solid advantage over their opponents – at least according to the betting odds. That said, we’ve definitely seen much bigger surprises in the Premier League but such a scenario is not entirely likely in this fixture.

The home team will be hoping to make up the points they lost in the previous round. The game itself was a dry affair with a stalemate in the first half and an eventual narrow home win for Sunderland. However, Brentford were expected to perform much better, with most bookmakers online naming them the favourites going in.

Chelsea are here on the back of a noted triumph against Fulham. They maintained an impressive lead throughout the match, which lead to a comfortable 2:0 home victory.

We’ve seen some impressive offensive performances from Chelsea in the past few weeks. Their latest 3 league outings were marked by more than 5 goals scored, which means this match is likely to confirm markets like BTTS and Over 5 Goals.

The absence of injuries or suspensions means both teams will have their full lineups at their disposal for a thrilling matchup.

This match is a bit tough to find value in, so you’ll need to be willing to take a risk. An HT/FT Draw/Away bet at odds of 4.60 is not exactly probable, but it’s clearly the best offer in terms of value.
