Chelsea vs. Brentford Betting Preview
Chelsea Facts To Know
A miserable season for Chelsea only has a few more stops remaining on the English Premier League schedule. The Blues are already on their third manager of the campaign, but Frank Lampard is yet to land a victory in four attempts across all competitions.
It has been muted that Mauricio Pochettino, who has been lined up as the next full-time boss, could take charge before the season reaches its conclusion.
Chelsea comes into this home game after going seven without a victory in all competitions, which includes losses in each of their last four. The Blues haven’t endured a longer winless run since between October and December 1993.
That was also the last time that they lost five games on the bounce. Chelsea also has a poor record in London derbies this term, as they have lost three of six. That is as many defeats as they had suffered in their previous 14.
Brentford Facts To Know
In all honesty, Brentford’s season goal has already been achieved, as their Premier League status has already been confirmed. The Bees sit tenth in the overall standings, and they could move up an extra place with a famous victory at Stamford Bridge this week.
However, their recent form is threatening to overshadow how solid they have been this term, as they come into this fixture having failed to win over their last six.
They have also been disappointing defensively in recent weeks, as they have failed to win their last four matches after opening the scoring. That includes their previous match against Aston Villa, in which they picked up a 1-1 draw.
Prior to this run, Brentford had landed 19 wins from 23 occasions in which they had opened the scoring. But Brentford does have a fine recent record against the Blues, as they are unbeaten in their last two. However, they have lost six of eight visits to Stamford Bridge in all competitions.
Chelsea vs. Brentford Betting Picks
Chelsea games have often been low-scoring affairs throughout the season, which makes under 2.5 goals a very easy selection. However, we can’t take a home win with the Chelsea vs Brentford odds available, as the Blues have been far too inconsistent.
Therefore, we will be interested in taking a chance on Brentford or Draw in the double chance market, which could offer better value for this Wednesday’s showdown.
- Pick 1: Under 2.5 Goals (-110)
- Pick 2: Brentford or Draw (+110)
