Can the hosts score again against the Blues?
After the international break, Matchday 4 of the Premier League is coming up. Chelsea FC are already heading into their fourth London derby. On Saturday, they will take to the pitch at Brentford FC. Even though the visitors are clear favorites, the Brentford vs. Chelsea tip could lean toward a double chance.
Brentford has managed to take a point at home against Chelsea three times in a row. In recent years, there have even been a few victories. Brentford has lost only one of its last seven matches against the Blues.
Apart from the recent record in this fixture, Chelsea has had the upper hand at the start of the season. With seven points, the Blues are in second place ahead of the upcoming Matchday 4. Only champions Liverpool have won all three games so far and have two more points to their name.
Brentford have already suffered two defeats in three games, meaning the 2021 promoted side have to settle for a place in the bottom third of the table for the time being. Chelsea have had the better start to the season, but Brentford are well positioned at home and have the chance to take something away from the game.
Only one defeat in their last seven games is one reason, the other is Brentford’s home advantage and the fact that they have already won their first game at home against Aston Villa. At odds of 2.10, you can bet on double chance 1/X at Interwetten.
Alternatively, you can also bet on over 2.5 goals. Chelsea scored seven goals in their first three games, while Brentford scored at least once in each game. A goal from the Blues in the first half is also likely. Four of their seven goals so far have been scored before the half-time whistle. Either way, the visitors are favored in the odds for the Brentford vs. Chelsea match.
Brentford – Chelsea Head-to-head record / H2H record
Matches between these two teams date back to the 1930s, but the last few years are of particular interest. After promotion in 2021, Brentford lost twice, but since then there have been three wins and three draws in seven encounters.
Last season, Chelsea finally won the home game again. The return match ended in a goalless draw. At least at home, Brentford are now unbeaten in three games against the Blues.
Brentford – Chelsea Tip
Chelsea have made a good start, picking up seven points from three games, but it is likely to be difficult away at the Gtech Community Stadium. Brentford will focus on defense, but they have the quality up front to score goals themselves. Looking more closely at Brentford and Chelsea, the betting odds clearly favor the Blues, but the chances of a draw are also very good.
Therefore, the 1/X tip can be considered, and with odds of 2.10, we are playing this with three units. A draw would be no surprise at all, especially since Chelsea have already had to share the points at home once this season.
Enzo Fernandez and Joao Pedro have already scored twice for the visitors, but Brentford are also well positioned in this regard. Igor Thiago not only has two goals to his name, but is also well ahead in the league in terms of pressing actions. Hardly any other striker works as hard to get the ball.
Chelsea has scored in two of three games, with most of their goals coming in the first half. However, the hosts will not make it easy for their opponents. Nevertheless, Chelsea has the potential to score early.
