Brentford vs Chelsea Prediction, Odds and Betting Tips

🏆 Brentford vs Chelsea: Who Will Win?

Brentford have just three wins in their previous 18 matches, so it is not surprising that they are where they are in the table. Over the previous ten matches, they have picked up just the six points, which is a record that only Sheffield United and Burnley have done worse than. I do not think that they will end up being relegated, but it is definitely going to be a close call come May, especially if they do not manage to improve their very poor form.

Chelsea are currently sitting in 11th place in the table, which is pretty embarrassing considering the amount of money that they have spent in recent seasons. They had a chance to at least book themselves European football next season, but they blew it against a Liverpool team that was riddled with injuries. When it comes to form over the last ten rounds of matches, they are in 8th place, having picked up 16 points from the 30 on offer.

Brentford will fight for their lives against Chelsea, but I think the Blues will come out on top in this match due to their much superior squad depth. As for the scoreline, I think it will be a close one, so I am going to go for a 2-1 win for Chelsea.

💯 Brentford vs Chelsea Match Odds

When these two teams met at Stamford Bridge back in October, the Bees won the match 2-0. In fact, Chelsea have not beaten Brentford in their previous four meetings - three losses and one draw. Chelsea dominated the last match, with 69% possession and 17 shots on goal, but they were profligate, while Brentford were clinical.

Established as well as new UK betting sites will take the result of this previous game and both teams' current form into consideration when they are forming their odds for this game, and below are the odds that five of my top bookies are offering for some popular markets.

Brentford vs Chelsea: Match Winner Odds

Chelsea are the bookmakers' favourites to win this game, but the fact that their odds are above 2.00 tells us that the bookies are not entirely sure as to which way this match will go. This is because you never really know which Chelsea team is going to show up. They have plenty of talent, as they showed in their recent FA Cup win over Aston Villa, but they are very inconsistent. Below you can find the match winner odds for this Brentford vs Chelsea game.

Team
Brentford	3.00	3.00	3.25	3.20	3.25
Draw	3.55	3.55	3.70	3.75	3.80
Chelsea	2.10	2.10	2.10	2.08	2.08

Brentford vs Chelsea: Both Teams To Score Odds

When it comes to EPL matches, the bookies usually back both teams to find the back of the net, and they have not made an exception for this Brentford vs Chelsea game. With the way that they have both been playing defensively, it is easy to see why they are backing BTTS. If you want to make use of both teams to score odds, then the latest and best offerings can be seen in the table below:

Team
Yes	1.44	1.44	1.50	1.49	1.55
No	2.53	2.53	2.38	2.32	2.38

Brentford vs Chelsea: Over/Under 2.5 Goals Odds

The bookies are pretty sure that there will be three goals scored in this match, but they are also pretty sure that there will be no more than three. So, these odds, along with the match winner odds and the BTTS odds that are on offer, tell us that the bookies believe that Chelsea will go on and win this match 2-1. If you cast your mind back to the start of this prediction, you will remember that this is exactly the scoreline that I predicted as well. Below are the over/under 2.5 goals odds:

Team
Over 2.5	1.52	1.52	1.60	1.55	1.60
Under 2.5	2.32	2.32	2.35	2.28	2.35

Brentford Update

Thomas Frank has done a wonderful job with Brentford since they arrived on the Premier League scene, but they are now running the risk of playing Championship football next season. For what it is worth, I do not actually think that they will go down, but it is definitely squeaky bum time for the team that their manager once described as "just a bus stop in Hounslow". They will be battling it out with the likes of Everton, Luton, and Nottingham Forest to avoid being the third team to go down - for me, Sheffield United and Burnley are as good as relegated.

Brentford have picked up four of their seven wins at home, but they have just one home win from their previous five home matches. You can see their previous five league results below:

Brentford lost 4-2 to West Ham on Monday evening, and the night was made even worse as their most important defender, Ben Mee picked up an injury. He is unlikely to be available at the weekend. Below you can find a full list of Brentford's absentees:

2️⃣Chelsea Update

If Chelsea won the Carabao Cup final on Sunday, then their fans probably would have been able to look past their poor league position as they would have bagged themselves some European football next season. As things stand, they are probably going to finish the season in 9th or 10th, which is not good enough for a team that has spent the type of money that they have. I do think they will do much better next season but, then again, they could not possibly do much worse. At least they have improved on last season, where they finished 12th.

From their last ten matches, they have five wins, one draw, and four losses, which puts them 8th in the form table. This should be enough to get them the win at the Gtech Community Stadium. Below are their previous five league results:

Pochettino, like Frank, also has several players missing for this clash, and you can see the Chelsea absentees in the table below.
