Brentford vs Chelsea Preview and Team News

Brentford Team News

Sitting seventh in the Premier League table, Brentford are yet to lose a game this season, having won once and drawn three times. Their latest result was a convincing 2-1 win over Reading in the EFL Cup.

In that match, the Bees had 71% of the ball, which translated into a dominant attacking display. They produced 3.21 xG, 24 shots, including eight on target, and 91% passing accuracy.

Right-back Michael Kayode impressed when pushing forward: he posted 100% accuracy in both dribbling and crossing. He also had a 100% success rate with long balls.

The Bees‘ manager Keith Andrews has to deal with several injured players, including Nathan Collins, Sepp van den Berg, Antoni Milambo, Mathias Jansen, and Joshua Dasilva.

Brentford predicted lineup vs Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Kelleher; Lewis-Potter, Henry, Ajer, Kayode; Janelt, Sangare; Schade, Yarmoliuk, Anthony; Thiago.

Chelsea Team News

Chelsea’s run under new manager Xabi Alonso suffered a setback when they drew 2-2 with Hull City on Saturday. This takes them to just two wins in four matches, although they are comfortably placed sixth. Overall, the Blues have won three of their previous five games across all competitions, with one loss and one draw.

Against Hull, Alonso’s men conceded twice in the first half and had to rely on striker Joao Pedro’s rescue act with a goal and an assist. The goal, in particular, helped Chelsea take home at least a point since it came in the 66th minute.

Attacking midfielder Cole Palmer also impressed, as he created a team-high three chances and tied for the lead in shots with three. Morgan Rogers, having recently arrived from Aston Villa, appears to have settled in well. He scored a goal, recorded a 100% shot accuracy, and completed 80% of his passes.

The visitors also have several injuries. Jordan Henderson, Marco Palestra, Moises Caicedo, and Emanuel Emegha are all sidelined.

Chelsea predicted lineup vs Brentford (4-2-3-1): Martinez; Hato, Colwill, Fofana, Chavarria; Lavia, James; Rogers, Palmer, Neto; Pedro.

Brentford vs Chelsea Prediction

  • Pick: Chelsea to win or draw
  • Odds: -233 (20Bet)
  • Correct score prediction: Brentford 2-2 Chelsea

Chelsea are expected to have the upper hand in this West London derby. They have avoided defeat in 11 of their last 14 meetings with Brentford.

Their away record is even better: they have not lost a single game to the Bees in their previous seven clashes. In addition to this historical advantage, Alonso’s men have lost just once in the Premier League this season.

Brentford vs Chelsea Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Chelsea total – over 1.5 goals
  • Odds: -103 (20Bet)

Under Alonso, the Blues have embraced a new attacking policy with their flanks at the forefront. They have already scored 10 goals in four outings, averaging 2.5 goals per match, which supports our pick.

Even on the road, Chelsea are averaging two goals per game. What’s more, they have scored at least two goals in four of their last five meetings with Brentford. Striker Joao Pedro, who has already made six goal contributions, should lead the charge for the Blues.
