Brentford - Chelsea prediction, H2H and probable lineups - April 6, 2025
One of the matches of the 31st round of the English Championship will be played on Sunday at the Brentford Community Stadium, where the local Brentford will host London Chelsea. I suggest betting on goals in this match with a good odds.
Match preview
The "Bees" continue their inconsistent performances in the Premier League, having only one win in their last four rounds. The only success for Thomas Frank's side came away, defeating Bournemouth 2-1. In the other matches, the team drew with Everton (1-1) and suffered defeats against Aston Villa (0-1) and Newcastle (1-2).
These results have left the "Bees" in 11th place in the standings, with their gap from the European competition zone now at nine points. In their last seven home matches in the EPL, the Londoners have failed to delight their fans with victories, managing only two draws and five defeats.
Enzo Maresca's charges continue to hold onto the fourth position in the standings, but their advantage over the nearest pursuer is only one point. In the last round, the team secured a hard-fought victory over Tottenham (1-0), extending their successful streak to three wins in their last four Premier League matches.
Notably, all these successes were recorded at their home ground and with a "clean sheet." However, their away performances leave much to be desired – the team hasn't tasted victory in seven consecutive EPL matches, recording only two draws and five losses.
Probable lineups
- Brentford: Mark Flekken, Keane Lewis-Potter, Nathan Collins, Ethan Pinnock, Sepp van den Berg, Christian Nørgaard, Vitaly Janelt, Kevin Schade, Egor Yarmolyuk, Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa
- Chelsea: Robert Sanchez, Levi Colwill, Malo Gusto, Marc Cucurella, Trevoh Chalobah, Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer, Jadon Sancho, Nicolas Jackson
Match facts and head-to-head
- Brentford demonstrates a high level of scoring – averaging 3.27 goals per match
- In six of Chelsea's last seven Premier League matches, no more than three goals were scored.
- In the first round, Chelsea defeated their opponent at home with a score of 2-1
Prediction
Bookmakers give a slight edge to Chelsea, assessing the visitors' chances with odds of 2.20. Nevertheless, one of the most productive teams in the EPL shows problems in terms of scoring. Brentford hasn't won at home for seven matches in a row in the EPL, scoring more than one goal only once. In four matches of this series, the Londoners failed to hit the opponents' net at all. Our bet here is "Total under 3.5" with odds of 1.70.
