Brentford vs Chelsea Prediction Betting Tips & Preview

Brentford vs Chelsea Odds

Date: 13/09/25
Kick-off time: 20:00
Venue: Gtech Community Stadium

Brentford host Chelsea in what’s their first London derby of the season — while Chelsea are about to tick off their fourth already. It’s been a mixed start for the Bees, but the Blues are unbeaten and chasing Liverpool at the top. So, is this the night Brentford bite back, or will Chelsea keep rolling? Let’s dig in.

Brentford vs Chelsea Team News

Brentford are sweating over a few key players. Vitaly Janelt (heel) and Gustavo Nunes (hamstring) are touch and go. Paris Maghoma and Yunus Emre Konak are also doubts, which could leave Thomas Frank’s successor short in midfield. On the bright side, Keane Lewis-Potter is fit and flying, and Kelleher is nailed on between the sticks.

Chelsea have their own issues. Cole Palmer is still being assessed after missing both club and country action with a groin problem. Liam Delap is out long-term, and Levi Colwill remains sidelined. Benoît Badiashile and Datro Fofana are carrying knocks too, but João Pedro looks sharp and will likely lead the line again.

Likely Lineups

Brentford (4-2-3-1):
Kelleher; Kayode, Collins, van den Berg, Lewis-Potter; Henderson, Yarmolyuk; Ouattara, Damsgaard, Schade; Thiago

Chelsea (4-2-3-1):
Sánchez; Gusto, Chalobah, Adarabioyo, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernández; Estêvão, Gittens, Neto; João Pedro

Brentford vs Chelsea Betting Tips

I think Chelsea’s midfield is just too strong right now. Fernández and Caicedo have been running games, and João Pedro looks like he’s enjoying the spotlight. Brentford will threaten on the counter — especially with Lewis-Potter’s pace — but their inconsistency worries me.

Betting angles worth a look:

• Chelsea to win & both teams to score
• João Pedro anytime scorer
• Over 2.5 goals

Brentford have scored in two of their last three home games against Chelsea, so don’t be shocked if they nick one.

Brentford vs Chelsea Match Prediction

Chelsea are going to see plenty of the ball. That’s just how they play. Brentford will sit back, look to break, and test them with set pieces. But over 90 minutes, Chelsea’s quality should tell.

Match Prediction: Chelsea to win. Bet with bet365.

Brentford vs Chelsea Correct Score Tips & Prediction

I’m leaning towards a narrow Chelsea win. Brentford will make it awkward, but João Pedro is in form and Neto looks lively on the wing.

Correct Score Prediction: Brentford 1-2 Chelsea. Bet with bet365.

Brentford vs Chelsea Over & Under Goals Betting Tips

The numbers point to goals. Brentford’s last three home games against Chelsea have all seen both teams score, while Chelsea have bagged seven goals in their opening three fixtures this season. Over 2.5 goals feels like the safe play. If you’re chasing value, over 3.5 could tempt you.

Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
