Brentford - Chelsea predictions

The visiting team is cognizant of the task before them. A victory over Brentford on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy feat.

Chelsea are regarded as favourites, but that doesn’t mean they can relax. With an almost negligible difference in the perceived strength of these two teams, sub-standard play is a recipe for disaster.

The hosts are coming off from a West Ham United loss. They did not have the best of starts to the game and failed in their attempts to get back into the game after going down early on.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Brentford have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Premier League outings.

Brentford have to start earning points if they want to avoid getting dragged into the relegation tussle this season. With 5 points above the drop zone, every point they get will count. However, knowing they are priced at 3.21 to beat Chelsea this Saturday, their fans will have little to hope for.

Although the odds are in the away team’s favour, their recent match history in this matchup tells an interesting story. They lost a home game against The Bees earlier in the season, and the underdogs even managed to secure a hefty lead before the end.

With several players missing from their lineup due to injuries, the away team is weaker than they would be at full force. The injured players are Chelsea_INJURY, which will tip the balance somewhat in the underdog’s favour.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet may seem somewhat risky, but it’s a lot more probable than usual. It’s a great pick if the betting value is what you’re after, but some might prefer a somewhat safer choice.
