Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the English Premier League match.
Both teams delivered similar performances in the 15th round. These were undoubtedly high-scoring affairs. Will we see another goal fest and who will come out on top?
Chelsea
Chelsea currently sit second in the league, just four points behind Liverpool, but their form at Stamford Bridge is less than ideal, with only 12 points from seven matches. They perform much better away, collecting 19 of a possible 24 points, a stat many home teams would envy. They boast quick wingers who thrive in deep positions, which was key in their recent victory over Tottenham Hotspur (4:3). Notably, matches involving Chelsea have seen a total over 2.5 in four of their last five encounters.
Brentford
Brentford are also ready to play open football from the start. Recall their series of matches where they scored within the first 60 seconds or at most by the second minute? A similar scenario unfolded against Newcastle United, with Bryan Mbeumo scoring in the eighth minute, only for Newcastle to equalise three minutes later, leading to a 4:2 scoreline. However, that was at home. Away, it's a different story. Brentford tend to falter, with only one point from seven away games. If they lose away, they do so in a high-scoring fashion, with both total over 2.5 and both teams to score landing in five of those seven games.
Chelsea vs Brentford Prediction
This match is expected to be high-scoring. We are confident that Chelsea will avoid defeat and both teams will find the net.
