Brentford vs Chelsea

Chelsea are aiming to maintain their unbeaten start to the season when they travel to Brentford for an English Premier League fixture on Saturday.

The Blues have looked sharp this season and will be feeling confident heading to the Gtech Community Stadium. They also have a good record in this fixture and could claim the upper hand over the hosts, who are unconvincing at the moment.

Brentford News

Brentford come into this clash off the back of a 2-1 defeat at Sunderland in their previous Premier League fixture. They struck first through Igor Thiago but could not see out the win and conceded two late goals.

That result maintains Brentford’s slow start to the season, having lost two of their three Premier League matches. Manager Keith Andrews will be hoping for some home comfort on Saturday, but have picked up just three wins in their last nine Premier League matches at Gtech Community Stadium.

One positive for Brentford is Igor Thiago, who has discovered his scoring touch this season, finding the net three times in four matches across all competitions. However, Brentford need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in two of their three Premier League matches, with both fixtures producing over 2.5 goals.

Chelsea News

Chelsea are coming off a home victory as they triumphed 2-0 over Fulham last time out in the Premier League. Joao Pedro continues his fine start to the season by netting the opener before Enzo Fernandez grabbed the second from the penalty spot.

The Blues remain unbeaten this season and have claimed two straight wins since beginning their campaign with a 0-0 home draw with Crystal Palace. Enzo Maresca’s team have also won three of their last four Premier League away matches, claiming a 5-1 victory at West Ham in their previous fixture on the road.

Led by Joao Pedro, who has found the net three times this season, goals have not been a problem for Chelsea. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in six of their last nine matches across all competitions, while three of their last five fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Chelsea have five wins and four draws, while Brentford have been victorious three times in the last 12 matches. The Blues were unbeaten last season, winning 2-1 at home before a 0-0 away draw in the reverse fixture.

Verdict

Brentford v Chelsea

Brentford and Chelsea often adopt an attacking style of play, which has seen both teams score in two of their last three meetings. With those two fixtures also producing over 2.5 goals, a similar outcome could be expected here.

Chelsea are looking confident this season and will be keen to maintain their fine record in this fixture. They should come out on top against Brentford, who have lost two of their three Premier League matches this term.
