Brentford vs Chelsea. Shape of the Teams

On March 2, in the 27th round of the Premier League, Brentford will host Chelsea in what promises to be a compelling London derby. Last year, the Blues lost against the Bees twice at home without scoring a goal.

However, Brentford’s current form leaves much to be desired, as they have suffered five defeats in their last six matches.

Thomas Frank’s team lost three matches in a row, although this could be partly attributed to the formidable resistance they faced, including Liverpool, Manchester City and Newcastle.

On the other hand, Chelsea has experienced a mixed bag of results. Despite losing only once in their last five games, that one loss was noteworthy. They lost the EFL Cup final against Liverpool (0-1), with a goal conceded in the last minutes of the second extra period.

Brentford vs Chelsea Prediction, Odds

Pick: Over 3 Goals
Odds: -113 (Tonybet)

For both Chelsea and Brentford, the offence clearly dominates over the defence. Both teams find the back of the net regularly but also concede quite a lot, and there is no reason to believe this trend will change in their head-to-head meeting.

For Brentford, the main problem is the quick transition from attack to defence. At the same time, Chelsea are strong in quick vertical attacks, so the Blues will surely have the opportunity to score several goals.

However, Chelsea have their own set of problems, one of them being their struggle with set pieces. Given Brenftord’s strength in such scenarios, it would give them the opportunity to create big problems for Chelsea.

Ivan Toney’s return from suspension has been a boost upfront for Brentford. The English forward has scored four goals already, highlighting his importance to the team.

Chelsea, meanwhile, has found a reliable goalscorer in Cole Palmer, who leads the club’s scoring charts with 10 goals and six assists.

Brentford have scored in seven consecutive home games across different competitions and can extend their run against Chelsea.

The Blues face several problems in their squad, particularly in their defensive setup and in the midweek game against Leeds, they conceded twice. In the first round, Brentford defeated Pochettino’s Chelsea 2-0, and I think this match will be even more entertaining.

Brentford vs Chelsea Betting Tip

Pick: Brentford or Draw
Odds: -152 (Tonybet)

The Blues are experiencing a rollercoaster season with many ups and downs. Their performance in away games is particularly poor, as they have suffered six defeats out of their last ten matches on the road.

Predicting how Chelsea will play in this match is a big challenge. It is likely that after two gruelling matches against Liverpool and Leeds, the Blues’ game intensity will be impacted.

However, given the problems of Brentford in recent matches and the huge potential of the Chelsea players, everything may work out in favour of Pochettino’s team.

In addition, Chelsea played 120 minutes in the English League Cup final last weekend and a difficult and tense midweek match against Leeds in the FA Cup. This could make fatigue a decisive factor for Chelsea in this game.

Brentford, on the other hand, were kicked out of the tournament earlier and should be well-rested and full of energy for this encounter. Moreover, Thomas Frank’s team have the home-field advantage, tilting the odds further in Brentford’s favour. Moreover, they have not lost to Chelsea in four matches in a row.

I think the hosts will play solid football and claim at least a draw against the struggling Blues.
