Brentford vs Chelsea predictions
Brentford Double Chance – 1.62 – The unbeaten Bees have drawn each of their last three Premier League matches against Leeds, Sunderland and Bournemouth, though a fixture against Chelsea should suit their counter-punching playing style better.
The Blues have conceded 2+ goals in each of their four Premier League assignments under Xabi Alonso and they shipped another three against Leeds in the Carabao Cup. Brentford’s running power could cause mayhem against that unconvincing Chelsea backline. The absence of injured starting striker Joao Pedro is also a major blow to the visitors' chances.
Back Brentford Double Chance against Chelsea at 1.62 with Virgin Bet SA
Over 3.5 Goals – 2.05 – Chelsea’s Premier League contests have been averaging 4.75 goals since the summer, which is the highest figure in the division, and when you add in their Carabao Cup matches, their competitive fixtures have been averaging a staggering 5.00 goals per game overall.
The Blues have dazzled in attack with Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers developing excellent early chemistry, however, their defensive structures have been too easy to break. Expect that to translate into goals and excitement again when they cross the capital to play Brentford.

Odds - 11.50 – Place bet on Virgin Bet SA
Kevin Schade over 0.5 shots on target (1.75) — Schade won’t be short of confidence after his brace of goals against Bournemouth last weekend, one of which was a sublime lobbed finish. The German has been averaging 2.52 shots and 1.26 shots on target per 90 minutes in the Premier League this term, and Schade also landed three accurate shots in two appearances against Chelsea last season.
Morgan Rogers over 0.5 shots on target (1.52) — The attacking midfielder has settled in quickly at Chelsea, netting three times and registering at least one shot on target in three of this first four Premier League starts for his new employers. Only Cole Palmer (15) has had more shots in total than Rogers (11) for the Blues so far.
Mamadu Sangare over 1.5 fouls (1.70) — Brentford’s summer recruit is a ball of energy in midfield and has been averaging 3.30 tackles and 1.50 interceptions per game in the Premier League since signing for the Bees. Sangare has also been averaging 2.42 fouls per 90 minutes and he should have plenty of opportunities to get stuck in again against Chelsea.
Kristoffer Ajer over 1.5 fouls (2.20)— The Norwegian centre-half has conceded a foul in all four of his Premier League outings this term and on Friday evening, he faces one of the division’s most-fouled frontlines. Palmer and Rodgers have already drawn 11 fouls between them since the summer, and their trickery in the final third could cause problems for Ajer.
