Why bet on Chelsea?
Chelsea has been on the rise this season, and, week after week, it seems like the appointment of Enzo Marezca was the right decision. Under the guidance of the Italian, the Blues have nine wins, four draws, and two losses in 15 matches. They also have four wins in a row, the last against London rivals Tottenham in dramatic circumstances.
Jadon Sancho, two penalties by Cole Palmer, and Enzo Fernandez completed a great comeback. The team is not precisely solid at the back but it’s producing wonders up front, leading the league in goals scored with 35, six more than the teams below.
The team plays fast, exciting football and seems posed to win the Conference League this year, becoming the first team in history to win the three tiers of European Football.
Why bet on Brentford?
Brentford began the season with many doubts and seemed posed to fight for relegation. Toney’s departure left a hole in the attack, but little did we know that Wissa and Mbeumo could share the responsibilities in the offense so well.
Mbeumo was Haaland’s main challenger in the early season. Now, the powder is a little wet, but the group keeps producing in offense, thanks to the shared responsibilities of the team.
With seven wins, five draws, and six losses, they are just two points behind the sixth place, which grants a ticket to the Conference League, while they are already 14 points ahead of the last team to be relegated. Just a comfortable midtable finish like last season would be good for the club, but they can aspire to more.
Final Betting Analysis: Chelsea vs. Brentford
In the last ten matches between these two teams, there is great parity with four wins for Chelsea, three for Brentford, and three draws. However, all of the Bees’ victories came in the last six games, so it’s clear that the team from the South of London took great advantage of Chelsea’s recent woes.
Their last duel ended in a 2-2 draw on March 2 for the Premier League. However, this time, we feel like the locals are a much superior team and will get a comfortable 3-1 victory.
Go for a win for Chelsea at 1.378. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $37.8 for a total payout of $137.8.
