Command Analysis
Chelsea
EnglandCurrent form
Chelsea suffered their last defeat on October 30, when they lost to Newcastle in the League Cup (0:2). Since then, the "aristocrats" have played nine matches, taking into account all tournaments, in which they won seven and drew twice. Maresca is doing an excellent job, clearly rotating the squad, fortunately, he has a huge choice of players.
https://www.chelseafc.com/en target=_blank rel=noopener>Chelsea are approaching the upcoming match in second place in the league table. A win would allow them to break away from Arsenal by four points and get within two points of Liverpool, although the Merseysiders have a game in hand. The thing is that on Saturday both of the aristocrats' rivals lost points and drew. This will clearly add motivation to the Chelsea players. In the last round, we recall, they beat Tottenham 4-3 in a bright, high-scoring match and extended their winning streak in the Premier League to four matches.
The Londoners have no equal in the Conference League. They have scored the maximum 15 points in five rounds and have already guaranteed themselves a place in the playoffs of the tournament. During the week, Chelsea easily dealt with Astana away with a score of 3:1, and the main squad was practically not involved and many did not even fly to Kazakhstan.
Disqualifications and injuries
James, Fofana and Kellyman are all out with injuries. Mudrik is in doubt. Neto will serve a suspension.

- The Aristocrats have not lost in the first half in 13 of their last 14 home matches in the Premier League

Brentford
EnglandCurrent form
Brentford are approaching the upcoming derby in tenth place in the league table with 23 points. The result is not bad, in many ways the usual role of a mid-table team in recent seasons. However, the indicators could clearly be better, but we constantly see failures in away matches - only one point scored. But the "bees" are currently the best team in the Premier League in terms of points scored in home matches. The Londoners have 22 points at their stadium, not a single defeat since the beginning of the season - seven wins and a draw.
In the previous round, Thomas Frank men won another home victory, beating Newcastle in their usual high-scoring style (4:2). Before that, there was an away defeat to Aston Villa with a score of 1:3. It should be noted that Brentford has shown itself to be very good in attack, having scored 31 goals, only Chelsea (35 goals) have more.
The Bees have an away game at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea ahead. It is worth noting that the Aristocrats have recently become a convenient opponent for Brentford. Chelsea have not won in their previous five head-to-head encounters in the Premier League.
Disqualifications and injuries
Da Silva, Nunez, Henry, Hickey, Jensen and Janelt will be unable to help their team due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Brentford have not lost in the first half in four of their last five matches
- Eight of the Bees' previous nine Premier League games have seen at least three goals scored
- The goal swap bet has played in 12 of Brentford last 13 Premier League games
Probable line-up: Flecken - van den Berg, Collins, Pinnock - Mbeumo, Yarmolyuk, Nergaard, Lewis-Potter - Schade, Damsgaard - Wissa.

1.92Tip and bets
Chelsea have failed to beat Brentford in their last five Premier League meetings. This streak has clearly dragged on, and today is a good time to end the losing streak. The Aristocrats are on a decent upswing, have won four games in a row, and have received additional motivation given that Liverpool and Arsenal have dropped points this round, and have the opportunity to close the gap with the Merseysiders and break away from the Gunners. Plus, Brentford has regularly failed in away games this season, and has only scored one point.
Our prediction is Chelsea to win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) at odds of 1.84
Bet on total
The Premier League scoring leaders are meeting, so it unlikely that we should expect a boring game. Moreover, Brentford regularly has defensive lapses, and the Bees have only kept a clean sheet in one away game in the Premier League, while in all other games they have conceded at least two goals.
The second bet is total over 3.5 goals with odds of 1.79
Bet on the exact difference in the score
Chelsea have won two of their last three home Premier League wins by two and three goals. Given their strong attack, we expect the aristocrats to secure a comfortable victory this time around.
Prediction: Chelsea win by two or three goals with odds of 2.60
