Brentford vs Chelsea Prediction & Betting Tips (2 March)

Engaged in the fight not to go down, Brentford are currently 16th in the Premier League and are, with 1 game more, 5 points ahead of the first relegated team. Ivan Toney's teammates have been worrying all their fans for several weeks. Indeed, they have lost 10 of their last 12 league matches, for 2 victories. Since a success acquired on the pitch of Wolverhampton 0-2, Brentford lost in turn against Liverpool 1-4, Manchester City 1-0 and West Ham last Monday 4-2. Eliminated from the FA Cup, the club can focus on remaining in the Premier League. Chelsea is not meeting expectations this season and is now 11th in the Premier League.

Dropping out of the Big 4, the London team can, however, still hope to win a European folding seat 1 game less and 4 points behind 7th if the winner of the FA Cup is in their favor. After having suffered 2 losses in a row, the Blues performed better in the last 2 days by winning at Crystal Palace 1-3 before taking a point in the lair of Manchester City 1-1. Last weekend, Chelsea were rather dominant but ultimately lost the League Cup final against Liverpool 0-1 after extra time. This week, Mauricio Pochettino's men dominated Leeds in the round of 16 of the FA Cup 3-2.

For this meeting, the Brentford coach deplores the withdrawals of the important attacker Mbeumo (7 goals and 3 assists in PL), the potentially starting defenders Mee, Pinnock, Hickey and Henry and the substitutes Dasilva and Schade. Both scorers on the last day, Maupay (6 goals and 3 assists in PL) and Wissa (5 goals in PL) are available.

They are competing to support England international Ivan Toney (4 goals in 7 PL games) who has returned to form after his long suspension.
