This fixture isn’t entirely about Chelsea. The Blues have kept four clean sheets in their last four matches across all competitions. They are fearless playing at home. They beat Brighton 2-0 last week. If there’s a team that would end Chelsea’s run of four games without conceding a goal, then it has to be Brentford.
The Blues are in top form under new manager Graham Potter. Under his care, Chelsea have gone five games without a defeat, having drawn one and won four, including Chelsea’s back-to-back wins over AC Milan in the Champions League. The Blues are a different test for Brentford and their current form will obviously be too much for them to handle, given Chelsea’s solid back line and threatening frontline.
While both teams are expected to score at least one goal each before the final whistle, Chelsea are likely to score two or more goals extra, given that the Blues have scored at least 2+ goals in their last five matches across all competitions.
Chelsea scored two goals in each of their last two matches, hence expecting the tie to end 2-1 in favour of the Blues. This tip has odds of 7.5 at 1xbet.
Chelsea are obviously one of the most in form teams in the Premier League since the arrival of Graham Potter. The Blues have won their last three league matches and occupy the 4th position with 19 points from 9 matches.
Chelsea will cut the gap into the 3rd position to one point if they beat the Bees on Wednesday but this entirely depends on Tottenham’s result at Manchester United.
The Bees may have lost two of their last four matches, they are comfortable in the Premier League so far as they occupy the 9th position with 13 points after 10 matches.
