Loading ...Chelsea vs Brentford predictions for the Sunday match in FA Cup starting with 15:00 and will be face to face in the 1/16 finals of FA Cup on Stamford Bridge Stadium in the most unbalanced match of the day in FA Cup.
There is no doubt that Chelsea will crush their opponents today, the question is how many goals did they score?
We expect to have a match with a lot of pressure from Chelsea and a very poor defensive at Brentford, we recommend you to bet on over 2.5 goals scored today. There have been scored over 3.5 goals in the last two head to head matches between the two teams.
Today will be the third time when the two teams will be face to face, the last direct match between Chelsea and Brentford was in February 2013 when Chelsea defeat at home their opponents 4-0.
Chelsea News
Chelsea is in a tremendous shape this season, they won 13 of their last 14 matches in all competitions, their only defeat was with Tottenham this season in Premier League: 2-0. Since losing with Tottenham they have won all the last three matches.
Chelsea remains the leader of Premier League with 55 points achieved in 22 matches, the team recorded 18 victories a draw and 3 defeats this season in Premier League. The last match in FA Cup was against Peterborough which they defeat 4-1.
Chelsea have scored over 2.5 goals in fur of their last six matches in all competitions and we expect them to score over 2.5 goals in Brentford’s gate today. Antonio Conte’s team scored at least 2 goals in 6 of their last 7 matches (FA Cup) and have scored nine goals and conceded just one goal in that time.
Not only that they have the home advantage but also they will have a full squad prepared for the reception of Brentford.
“McEachran, who now plays for Championship club Brentford, is set to return to Chelsea in the fourth round of the FA Cup this weekend and the 23-year-old believes he is remembers fondly by his former club’s supporters.” – standard.co.uk
Brenford News
Brentford is not having a very good season, this makes them be situated only on the 21st place in the standings in Premier League at only one blink of an eye of the red line.
This season in Premier League the team recorded 6 victories, 7 draws and 14 defeats, they received 32 goals and have scored 24. Brentford have lost two in a row ahead of this fixture, while they have only recorded four away wins all season, their last match in FA Cup was against Eastleigh which they defeat 5-1.
Brentford are aware that Chelsea will be a very difficult opponent and a victory will be impossible to obtain so they don’t have big expectations from this match.
They will play more in defensive line and will try not to receive a goal, but as we saw Chelsea’s attack lately this will be impossible.
Brentford Missing Players: Alan Judge, Lewis MacLeod, Alan McCormack, Sam Saunders, Callum Elder.
Chelsea vs Brentford predictions – probable teams:
