Brentford vs Chelsea Betting Tips
Our betting expert has three Brentford vs Chelsea tips for Saturday’s Premier League match at the Brentford Community Stadium (kick-off, 5:30pm). Scroll down for the analysis behind his selections.
- Chelsea to win & both teams to score @ 12/5
- Joao Pedro to score anytime @ 13/10
- Joao Pedro to score or assist, Dango Ouattara 1+ shot on target, Igor Thiago to commit 2+ fouls @ 13/2
Bees can hit back at favourites Chelsea
After lifting the revamped FIFA Club World Cup over the summer, Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea have started the Premier League campaign with a bang, taking seven points from a possible nine and scoring seven goals in the process.
The Blues look justified favourites to take all three points from the Brentford Community Stadium, but they may not have it all their own way against a Bees side that have performed better than expected since Thomas Frank’s departure.
Brentford suffered their second defeat of the Keith Andrews era at the hands of Sunderland before the international break after losing on the opening weekend, but they had beaten Aston Villa and Bournemouth in between and head into this game having scored in all four competitive matches under the inexperienced boss.
They may come away from Saturday’s game empty handed, but a goal shouldn’t be beyond them.

Pedro can make the difference
Chelsea made their annual raid on the south coast over the summer as they made a big-money move for Joao Pedro, and the gamble appears to have paid off for Enzo Maresca.
The Brazil international has been the standout Blues player since arriving at Stamford Bridge, scoring three goals in two starts at the Club World Cup before starting the Premier League season with a bang.
He has found the net in his last two league outings for the Blues, and the 23-year-old looks the best bet to get on the scoresheet in this game.

Attackers set to make their mark
Joao Pedro has provided two assists to go with his two goals this season and heads to Brentford with seven goal contributions in five starts for his new club, so he is definitely one to keep an eye on on Saturday.
Brentford’s own summer signing, Dango Ouattara, has impressed, too. He scored on his debut against Aston Villa and has registered three shots on target in just 173 minutes of play.
Ouattara has tested the opposition goalkeeper at least once in both of his Premier League outings for the Bees, and he will be one of the main threats for Chelsea to deal with.
Another Brentford attacker may find himself in the bad books, though. Only two players have committed more fouls than striker Igor Thiago this season, and the Brazilian has committed two or more fouls in all four competitive appearances for the club.
