Chelsea vs Brentford Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 28th October 2023

The Premier League game at Stamford Bridge this coming Saturday sees visitors Brentford facing home side Chelsea.

Chelsea are number 10 in the table on 12 points after nine matches. Brentford rank as number 14 with ten points after nine matches played.

Brentford will not be short on motivation for their clash with the match favourites Chelsea. Although the odds are against them, a narrow win this coming Saturday will see them move ahead of their upcoming opponents in the table.

Chelsea are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They scored a steady 14 goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of 1.4 per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents ten goals, or an average of one a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to three clean sheets in this run.

Brentford managed a bearable 15 goals from their past ten games, creating an average of 1.5 goals per game. They conceded 12 goals in total, and while claiming three clean sheets, they conceded 1.2 goals an average per game.

Brentford celebrated a 0-2 win in their most recent meeting with their Chelsea. Are we in for something similar at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, or does the latter have something else in store?

Chelsea vs Brentford Prediction

Chelsea Form

Chelsea look well suited to take on any opponent presently, as their last 3 matches saw them gain 7 points. They ran out 0-2 and 1-4 against Fulham and Burnley respectively. Their winning streak came to an end against Arsenal, who claimed a point in a 2-2 draw. Chelsea only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League. They also drew three and lost two of these six encounters, in which they scored seven and conceded six goals.

Brentford Form

Brentford collected four points from a possible nine in their last three matches. An encounter with Nottingham Forest brought a 1-1 draw, which was followed by a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Manchester United. Their most recent game had them back on the winning trail as they beat Burnley by a 3-0 scoreline. In their last six away matches in the Premier League, Brentford won twice, while also recording one draw. They endured three defeats in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying six goals conceded and eight scored.

With Chelsea in relatively good shape these days, we aim for the home win, when they take on Brentford. The value lies with the former, with form a little too dubious for the visitors.

Chelsea took ten points from their last five encounters with teams from the bottom half of the Premier League table. This amounts to three wins after scoring nine times and conceding two. Chelsea have a record of three wins, three draws and three defeats in the Premier League this season. Brentford put two wins, four draws and three defeats on the board in the Premier League.
