Chelsea poor form continued as they were held to a goalless draw against Wolves over the weekend. They now face Brentford in the EFL Cup quarter finals away from home on Wednesday night. Brentford will be playing after a two week rest and hence should give injury ridden Chelsea a tough fight.
Our betting predictions for Brentford vs Chelsea match are:
Brentford vs Chelsea Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Chelsea have kept only one clean sheet and scored in their last seven matches while Brentford have scored in ten of their last eleven matches. Hence betting on both teams to score at odds of 1.95 (bet365) is a safe bet.
Chelsea have earned 93 corners in their last 11 games at an average of almost 9 per game while Brentford have earned an average of 4 corners per game in the league. Therefore betting on more than 9 corners being conceded at odds of 2.10 (bet365) is a safe bet.
As both teams have been unstable defensively over the past few weeks, we expect it to be a high scoring match and suggest betting on more than 2.5 goals being scored at odds of 2.00 (betway).
Quick Rich
Mason Mount has four goals in his last six games and has been the central attacker in the absence of Lukaku, Werner and Havertz, hence betting on him to score at odds of 2.40 (betway) gives high returns at minimal risk.
With Chelsea missing Jorginho, Kante, Lukaku, Chilwell, Werner and Havertz due to injury/covid and Brentford having a well rested squad we expect a close match and betting on the correct score being 2-2, 3-2 or 2-3 at odds of 8.50 (betway) is a good bet.
Win/Lose/Draw
With Chelsea in poor form and Brentford performing well, with only one loss in their last five games, Chelsea should be able to qualify at odds of 1.36 (betway) but it will be a very close match.
Bet During the Match
If Brentford lead during the match, betting on Brentford to win at odds of 5.25 (bet365) is another good bet.
