Chelsea 4/11 to beat Brentford in Saturday’s Premier League showdown

Competition: Premier League

Market: Chelsea win

Odds: 4/11 @ 888sport

Looking to mark their return from the international break with a statement on home soil, Chelsea will host Brentford on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, last seen heading into the international break by extending on their FA Cup run, Chelsea will simply be looking to carry on from where they left off. In their 28 Premier League matchups so far this season, they have recorded 17 wins, eight draws and just three defeats, scoring 57 and conceding 19 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 59 and opening this weekend’s fixtures sat third in the table, it should also be noted that the Blues hold the second-best defensive tally in the division. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 2-0 win away at Championship outfit Middlesbrough, Chelsea have won each of their previous six matchups across all formats. Likewise, the defending European champions have won each of their previous six home fixtures.

As for the visitors, slumping back to losing ways prior to heading into the international break, Brentford almost find themselves sat in Premier League limbo. In their 30 Premier League matchups so far this season, they have recorded eight points, six draws and 16 defeats, scoring 33 and conceding 47 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 30, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat 15th in the table and holding a commanding eight-point buffer from dropping into the relegation zone. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 2-1 defeat away at Leicester, Brentford have managed to win just a pair of their last 12 matchups across all formats. Likewise, recording just a single Premier League victory on the road since the start of October, we’re backing a routine home win for Chelsea here.
