Brentford - Chelsea predictions

The visiting team knows the task they face will not be easy. Beating Brentford on their own turf would be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

If everything goes according to plan and Chelsea put their best foot forward we expect to see an away win in this match.

The home side suffered a slim defeat last time in the Premier League. They played away from their home and returned with a one-goal deficit Newcastle United defeat. Having conceded early on they never got a chance to get back on their feet.

Although they don’t always make it look easy, The Blues tend to deliver results in the end. Their previous showdown against Tottenham Hotspur saw them secure a narrow 1:0 home win after a rocky first half.

Brentford can boast over 5 goals scored during their past 3 away games. Seeing how playing at home is generally seen as an advantage, we can expect their attackers to perform just as well this Sunday, if not better.

Based on their recent performance, The Blues’s largest issue seems to be defence, especially in away games. With 6 conceded goals in their 3 previous visiting matches, Over 3.5 Goals markets seem like a solid betting option.

Chelsea are in fairly strong form this season and will be on their way to the Champions League qualification if they keep up the current pace. They do have a shot at the title, mind you, but time is running out to earn the 21 point needed.

Brentford already played against The Blues in an earlier round of this Premier League season. The Blues ended that match with a solid home win, though it wasn’t exactly a decisive victory. They’ll be trying to repeat that success, though it’s worth keeping in mind that they’re the away team this round.

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

Sadly, we can’t get good value here and still stay cautious. An HT/FT bet for Draw/Away is the best option due to the visitor’s tendency to stumble in the first half.
