Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Brighton, Brentford will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Chelsea in a small London derby. The Bees continue to rely on Ivan Toney, who scored a brace against the Seagulls, and we predict that the team’s top scorer will prove a handful for the opposition back-line. All Strakosha, Jansson, and Norgaard are out of contention with injuries, while Wednesday’s local derby comes too early for Aaron Hickey.
The Blues, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 2-0 win over Aston Villa, with the team extending their winning run to five games in all competitions. New boss Graham Potter is doing a great jobs with the Stamford Bridge outfit, and despite Brentford’s fine home record, away win should be considered. The visitors will be without Reece James, N’Golo Kante, and Wesley Fofana in the midweek clash.
Highlighted Player (Saman Ghoddos):
Saman Ghoddos is a product of FC Malmo football academy, but he started playing for IF Limhamn Bunkeflo at senior level. After scoring four goals in 41 appearances for the club the Swedish attacker moved to Treleborg, but he did not spend too much time at the club. In 2014 he signed a deal with Syrianska and he quickly established himself as a first-team regular at the Sodertalje Fotbollsarena outfit.
Saman Ghoddos, who was born in Malmo on September 6, 1996 played for Syrianska from 2014 to 2016 and then he moved to Ostersunds. The Swedish striker, who is used as an attacking midfielder as well, scored ten goals in 27 appearances for Ostersunds in the 2016 Allsvenskan campaign and he impressed in the 2017/2018 Europa League qualifiers.
Saman Ghoddos netted three goals in the process and helped the Swedish club book their place in the group stages of the European competition. Speaking of his personal life, you should bear in mind that Saman’s parents were born in Iran.
Highlighted Team (Chelsea):
Over the years Chelsea have established themselves as one of the dominant forces in the English Premier League. Roberto Di Matteo helped the team win their first ever Champions League trophy (2011/2012), but it has to be noted that they were more than fortunate to beat Bayern Munich in the title game.
Chelsea have been playing at Stamford Bridge since 1876 and they are a real force to be reckoned with at home. The Blues have won seven FA Cups, five League Cups, two UEFA Cup Winners’ Cups and the UEFA Europa League. Rafael Benitez was in charge of the team that faced Benfica in the 2012/2013 Europa League final, with Branislav Ivanovic scoring the winner for the Blues in the title clash.
After lifting the 2014/2015 Premier League trophy, the Blues largely struggled in the next campaign, which saw Jose Mourinho’s second spell with the club come to an end, and Antoine Conte went over to take the reigns for the 2016/2017 season.
