Bitesize Prediction: Chelsea vs Brentford – 28/10/23

Competition: Premier League

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 19/20 @ 1xBet

In a west London derby showdown on Saturday lunchtime, Chelsea will welcome Brentford to Stamford Bridge.

Starting with the hosts, while Chelsea might have suffered a late collapse at Stamford Bridge last weekend as they eventually had to settle for a 2-2 stalemate against Arsenal, the Blues should take plenty of positives from an eye-catching performance in west London. Although Mauricio Pochettino’s new squad might have endured a public struggle when opening up the 2023/24 campaign, the ex-Tottenham boss has seen his side turn a recent corner. Heading into October’s international break with an action-packed 4-1 win away at relegation scrappers Burnley, the former Premier League champions are unbeaten in each of their previous four meetings against top-flight opposition. Finding a route into the top-half of the table, Saturday’s hosts have gained a recent reputation for their lively outcomes. Including last weekend’s thrilling 2-2 draw against the Gunners, Chelsea’s last two Premier League showdowns have produced nine goals at both ends of the pitch. Although Pochettino’s side might find themselves tipped as a standout contender here, they could face another tricky test at Stamford Bridge.

As for the visitors, managing to make what was a crucial return to winning ways last weekend, Brentford will be desperate to spring a heavyweight upset here. Eventually breezing their way to a 3-0 romp against Burnley when returning from October’s international break, Thomas Frank’s men are now hoping to find some recent stability. However, still battling it out in the bottom-half of the Premier League table, the Bees have collected just a single win from any of their previous eight showdowns against top-flight opposition – a run that stems back to August 19th. However, despite being tipped as a real underdog pick on Saturday lunchtime, Brentford will be excited by a stunning record against their west London rivals. Including a famous 4-1 win when they travelled to Stamford Bridge 18 months ago, Frank’s side have collected seven points from their last three Premier League battles. In what could prove to be an enjoyable affair from SW6 this weekend, we are backing both teams to find the net.
