Chelsea v Brentford

Chelsea vs Brentford Preview

Chelsea came from behind to beat London rivals Tottenham 4-3 away from home at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last weekend to not only grab an impressive three points but to also extend their current winning streak in the Premier League to four wins on the trot.

Brentford maintained their unbeaten record at home this season in the English top flight last weekend when The Bees registered a 4-2 home win against Newcastle United which in turn lifted Thomas Frank's side up into the top half of the Premier League table into ninth place.

Chelsea have strung together an impressive four-match winning streak in recent weeks as The Blues have collected maximum three-point hauls at the expense of Leicester City, Aston Villa, Southampton and Tottenham respectively, the latter after being 2-0 down.

The Blues have plundered a total of 14 goals within these last four games and conceded just five goals in reply, making them hot favourites to pick up another three points at Stamford Bridge on Sunday evening as the hosts look to make it eight games overall without defeat.

Momentum is now building in impressive fashion for Enzo Maresca's side as Chelsea are unbeaten in their last six home games, while losing just twice in their last 20 home games overall in the top flight.

Brentford once again made the most of home advantage at their Gtech Community Stadium last weekend when The Bees stung Newcastle United with a 4-2 victory to lift the visitors up into ninth place and just two points within the top five clubs in the Premier League table.

Brentford still remain unbeaten on home soil in this season's Premier League campaign as The Bees have produced an excellent record at home having collected seven wins and a draw within their eight home games so far this term.

However, Brentford's exploits away from home have been far less impressive and far less convincing as the visitors have slumped to six defeats and claiming one draw in their seven outings on the road to date.

Brentford have also conceded two goals or more in six of these seven away games to date which certainly does not bode well for an upcoming visit against a free-scoring Chelsea outfit while the bigger picture underlines how poor Brentford have actually been on the road.

Indeed, Brentford have registered just three wins from their last 21 away games in the top flight along with being handed no fewer than 16 defeats along the way.

Chelsea v Brentford Verdict

Brentford have won three of the last five meetings against Chelsea but Chelsea are enjoying a purple patch of form right now and The Blues are expected to turn the tables on their opponents in this clash.

Therefore, our main bet will be Chelsea win & Over 2 goals @ 1.57

Other side bets worth considering:

Chelsea win & Over 3.5 goals @ 2.30

Correct Score: Chelsea 3-0 @ 11.00
